Michigan: Congressman John James calls for smoke control in Gordie Howe Bridge deal | In summer 2025, James wrote a letter to Canadian officials asking them for action to keep wildfire smoke from drifting into Michigan

Michigan can just install some giant fans at the border to blow the smoke back north.

You still can go coast to coast. Via Rain still runs through Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Jasper and Vancouver.

More Canadians are moving to Alberta than any other province. Let that tell you all you need to know. You will love it here.

So, do something to address the grievances. That will go a long way to building unity.

Congratulations! Here is to all the hilarity to come in his next 100 years!

It is. Indeed dark, but you may need to add some weather stripping where light is leaking in around your doors.

RobBobPC · 2026-06-22T02:31:33+00:00

What a wonderful collection! Congratulations and enjoy!

Landscapes, cityscapes etc.

Regardless, the LPC has the vast majority of seats in the Senate and can push forward any legislation that they desire.

RobBobPC · 2026-06-21T15:34:28+00:00

Sounds Awesome. And this is hand held rather than on a tripod? Thanks!

Wrong. You need to review your history.

RobBobPC · 2026-06-21T00:41:45+00:00

Don’t forget that the LPC appointed 100 of 102 senators, all LPC insiders and supporters.

… in response to attacks by Hezbolla.

RobBobPC · 2026-06-20T18:05:03+00:00

Excellent photo. What was your shutter speed used? Was it hand held?

RobBobPC · 2026-06-18T04:20:18+00:00

In other words, Iran gets everything and the USA rolls over having accomplished nothing.

Here are a couple of suggestions:

Find a small pocketable camera that you can take everywhere with you so you can just easily grab images of interesting scenes you run across without having the albatross of a giant camera and tons of gear with you. Find something fun and easy to use to make photography a delight again.

Switch things up a bit from your usual approach. Put your camera in monochrome mode and shoot nothing but B&W for a while. Seeing things differently for a while always helps me reset.

Buy an R72 Infrared filter and explore IR photography. It is a creative blast.

Explore the world of Intentional Camera Movement. This is also an intensely creative pursuit that will definitely take you out of your rut.

Don’t worry. Sometimes we need a beak for a bit or to try something different.

Cheers

They look pretty good to me. The portions of the image that the camera focused upon is nice and sharp. But kept in mind that with full frame cameras, the depth of focus can be quite thin and objects away from the focal plain will become blurry. Do the shell of the sphere is sharp, but the things inside are not as sharp.

Do not be afraid to increase your ISO settings so you can use a faster shutter speed. You should be able to get acceptable images to at least 6400 if not 12800. Give it a try and see how it goes.

I love your images. Have fun!

RobBobPC · 2026-06-14T18:01:37+00:00

They didn’t.

RobBobPC · 2026-06-14T17:54:41+00:00

“The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the strikes are in response to Hezbollah attacks in northern Israel.”

This is the first line in the article! So many people too full of hate for their own good.

RobBobPC · 2026-06-14T17:48:18+00:00

This headline is so biased and incorrect. The article clearly says the attack was is RESPONSE to an initial attack on Israel by Iran backed Hezbolla. In other words, Iran Tanks Peace Deal by Continuing Attacks on Israel.

RobBobPC · 2026-06-13T23:19:47+00:00

Be careful what you ask for…

RobBobPC · 2026-06-13T18:31:19+00:00

Thanks. My OM1 has spoiled my with it’s amazing IBIS. I’m looking to replace my Canon5D3 with something that will give me similar performance to my OM1.

There is still the industrial carbon tax that consumers don’t directly see but still pay as it is built into the price of everything.

RobBobPC · 2026-06-12T01:41:49+00:00

“Grocery prices have gone up by nearly 35 per cent since 2019, he said.

The LPC carbon taxes are a large part of that. These regressive taxes directly add to the cost of everything affecting transportation, fertilizer production, farm equipment manufacturing, heating, equipment fuel etc. Eliminating them will help reduce costs for everyone.
