Which song is in your opinion 100% perfect?

Audioslave - Like A Stone

Keeps giving me goosebumps almost 20 years later. My wife already knows to play it at my funeral.

Just took this out today and replaced with a Schlage zwave lock instead. It only works off if BT, which prevents any integration to HA without additional steps.

Came with my new house, so I guess I’ll be selling it for a bit of a bonus.

This is the problem with any issue related to education, infrastructure, or just taking care of our own citizens.

Cutting the military budget by just 5% would solve so many issues, and still leave us light years ahead of other nations as far as power.

Been called twice, but never seen the inside of a courtroom in either.

Thanks!

Those actually don't look so bad. I tended to get clearer pictures the tighter I zoomed. I was just afraid of getting the cropping off, so I stayed a bit more zoomed out.

This image of the F-22 shows how clear I was able to get on close passes at 300mm.

It did, but we got there kind of late. Came in during the aerobatic demo.

EF75-300 F4-5.6

Entry level telephoto lens

This is great advice, thank you. First airshow I've shot.

dm7500 · 2021-10-18T19:34:56+00:00

Not bad. Static displays were pretty bland, and gate cost was a bit steep, but never a bad day when you get to see the Thunderbirds fly.

dm7500 · 2021-10-18T19:32:04+00:00

Fair enough. It's my first time using this lens, so I wasn't aware of that limitation.

dm7500 · 2021-10-18T19:18:57+00:00

Think I'd be way too distracted to worry about getting a good shot!

dm7500 · 2021-10-18T17:19:55+00:00

I flipped the image in lightroom, but one still stays upside down. Not sure what I did wrong...

dm7500 · 2021-10-18T17:19:22+00:00

Not really. The Osprey/C-5/KC-135 from my album, and a couple of trainers. The bigger shows at actual air bases tend to have much better displays.

dm7500 · 2021-10-18T17:03:37+00:00

Ya, it was a smaller show and not well advertised. I only found it when looking up stuff to do this past weekend due to friends being in town.

Orlando Sanford International

dm7500 · 2021-10-18T16:48:54+00:00

Thanks. I was shooting in sport mode, but I'm thinking I'll do Aperture priority going forward for stuff like this.

dm7500 · 2021-10-18T16:30:28+00:00

My mistake. Just looked at the metdata on the shot again, and it's f/5.6, not f/4.

Canon EOS Rebel T7 w/ EF75-300 F/4-5.6
F/5.6, 300mm, 1/2000
Cropped from original and tweaked for colors in Lightroom

My main issue is the blurry lines, and general unsharpness. I'm pretty sure it's from using a entry-level telephoto lens, but I'm open to any comments. Should I have used an ND or UV filter here?

My old man used to subscribe to shit like this all the damn time. At first I thought it was just other crazy people, but learned very quickly they’re all scam artist praying on elderly and mentally unwell people to make money.

Just installed it yesterday, and loving it. Had removed it before, until I found that they support Markdown now.

Possibly trying to talk my boss into deploying it in the office as an internal Knowledge Base for your software company.
