My Buddy Joe Dobransky is picking up a new Husky at the factory in Wyoming sometime in the next week or so. He called me in a panic to see if I could find him hangar space and, of course, I couldn’t have Joe anywhere but in with me so I moved a Cirrus to another hangar and gave him front and center at HQ. so Joe rolls up in a black Tesla model something that has 60k in performance mods , because 2.3 seconds isn’t quite quick enough.
I think the technology is amazing and we should obviously be exploring it, but , like radial engines, I like my speed to have plenty of audio accompaniment. I lose interest rapidly if it doesn’t make your heart pound when it is sitting there idling. I don’t really care if it takes longer to 60, as long as it rumbles and pops while it’s doing it. But then I’m just one old guy that thinks a battery is great, to light up something with big pistons.
Not quite an analogy but it sort of illustrates how technologies have changes. I was shooting hummingbirds two weeks ago at a garden, there were 5 or 6 other photographers at the popular spot, when the hummingbirds flew in to hover over the flowers, I could hear rapid firing shutter sound from the their DSLRs like machine guns firing, I was shooting 30 FPS with my Sony A1 in complete silence with the electronic shutter. Sure the DSLRs "sound" more fun!
Since I am posting, may as well post a few shots from Sunday's outing.
