Good Morning, There are many things in life that are out of control of one's self; early this morning I got wait-listed and later released from the hospital. Due to "other emergencies", as I was told, my open-heart surgery has been moved to the 16th, next Friday. I was mentally in the zone for...

Good Morning, A few shots of my schools' team for this season, with a mix of new freshmen and returning seniors. Trying out some new lenses purchased this year in the marginal lighting that their private training facility needs to update...:rolleyes: Regards, Edd

Good Evening, One of my Pre-engineering classes hosted 20 grade 4 (elementary) students for a couple of hours today, teaching them basic electronic circuits (simulated then built) and robot programming. It was fun for all and I hope to do it again in the spring of 24' with a few more schools...

Good Evening, I hope this is the right place to share these photos, and if not I will delete this post. Two of my close friends have decided to return, permanently, to the place of their birth, that being Hong Kong. Both Bill and Sarah had very successful careers here, along with all the...

Good Afternoon, I received the lens this morning, mounted it to my Canon 5D Mk II via a cheap "chipped" adapter, and had some fun. It is very well built, all metal with a good feel, similar to old SMC Pentax lenses and the like. It is an air-spaced triplet, with a 13-blade iris, 49mm filter...

Good Afternoon, My high school team during a "flying warm-up" just for the photographer; even the coach was impressed...:) Regards, Edd

Good Morning, Warning: Image heavy...:) My school has very competitive boys and girls lacrosse teams again this season. This matchup ended up being a 10 to 5 win over their opponents, with a couple of highlights of note. One of my students (senior captain) scored her 200th career goal during...

Good Evening, The school I teach at had a game against the high school I graduated from 53 years ago. A complete redo of the facility had been done at some point along with updated banners hanging from above, but still showing my teams State Championship from that far away time...:) By the end...

Good Evening, This marked the end of the season for my school team; sad to see it end. Several of the members will be continuing on college teams in the fall in Division II and III. I hope that the entering freshman can help to fill the gap that each of these young women create by moving on to...

For all the ladies out there...:giggle: Regards, Edd

Good Evening, Another Sunday afternoon in one of the local private venues that hosted local high school teams from RI. Got to use my new (to me) 1DX Mark II along with the R7; it was a great combo to cover the four stations along with each schools team rotations. Regards, Edd

Good Evening, First shots using my new-to-me Canon 1DX Mark II; I bit the bullet and got it today. I cleared all the settings, but I forgot about the copywrite info (my alias is not Kim...:)). The team photo wasn't planned; their yearbook photographer never showed, so I helped the coach and the...

Good Evening, Some photos from a combined meet among seven high schools. I got to use the Canon R7 again with the Sigma 50-100mm f1.8 and the Canon 7D Mark II with my now fixed EF 24-70mm f2.8 L lens. My image processing station was chugging all night on the original RAW files, a bit over 4000...

Good Morning, The school I teach at hosted a tri-meet that lasted over three hours; they ended up beating the rival schools by at least 45 points during the course of the matches. There are high hopes of winning another state title this year...:). I used my new Canon R7 with the Sigma 50-100mm...

Good Evening, A former student of mine, now at Union College (NY) majoring in Biomedical Engineering, played a match against Lasell College (Newton, MA). Using one of my Canon 7D's with over 340,000 clicks along with a Canon 1D Mark IV, I managed to take about 2400 photos over the 90 minutes of...

Good Evening, I went to Conimicut Point Beach Park in Warwick, Rhode Island to watch a young friend of mine show his talents/skills in some pretty strong winds. The Canon R7 and EF 100-400mm L worked very well together; great subject tracking with very few misfocused shots. Regards, Edd

Good Afternoon, One of my sons picked up these glass plate negatives for me as part of an estate auction last year. I did some research and the location points (most likely) to the whaling port of New Bedford, Massachusetts. I am going to take these to the N.B. Whaling Museum to get a true...

Okay, I'll start this one up, for the Kodachrome 25 fans...:). Regards, Edd

Good Afternoon, This is a cross-post from "Wildflowers"; it is a full-frame lens that goes to 1/2 life-size because of the extended helical. These were shot at f5.6. Regards, Edd

Good Morning, It was a windy dust-bowl in Rhode Island; my high school team won (7-1) and are destined for the playoffs. All taken with MFT for this game, the Canon FF gear stayed in the Pelican case...:). Player #10 hit her 30th high school career home run, over the fence...and then some...

Good Morning, The high school complex I teach at (5 buildings, +1800 students, +200 staff) has a Culinary program that serves up to 150 people every Friday night during the second semester. The three chef teachers and the twenty students selected by two "Senior Hosts" put out meals that are...

Good Evening, This was Senior night for our Girls Gymnastic Team; lighting was dismal at best, but I will end up using DxO Deep prime to clean up the keepers from this 4-way meet (over 4000 photos taken during the 2-1/2 hours). Regards, Edd

Good Morning, Taking a break after 3 hours worth of snow blowing here in the "Quiet Corner". Didn't need the generator and the snow kept the IPA from a local micro-brewery nice and cold for later...:drinks: There is a Mercedes-Benz and a Taurus SHO under there somewhere... Regards, Edd

Good Afternoon, Looking to share some images from the last of Canon's hi-res FF DLSRs; I'll start the discussion...:) Sunrise at Castle Hill Lighthouse...Newport, RI Regards, Edd

Good Morning, First posting on this site; hoping to maintain the online friendships made while the dust settles on mu43, and to make new ones here. At +70 years on this planet, time waits for no one and I can't buy it back in the "Buy & Sell" forum...:) Regards, Edd
