You can generally get away with a monopod for field sports, but in the gym, I have always had to go hand held.

Send it to me for proper disposal 🤓. Actually, get some film and give it a go. Might want to open the film holders in a dark bag to see if there is film in them. If there is, you will have no way of knowing for sure if it is exposed or not. I would look at the holders with the black marker out and may develop a few sheets to see what happens.

You are missing the point. The Pharisees were trying to trap Jesus. The brought to him a woman who may or may not have been caught in adultery, let’s stipulate that she was. The Mosaic law requires 2 or more witnesses, check, and that the couple be caught in the act, check, and that BOTH parties be tried and stoned. The Pharisee brought only the woman, no man. They were violating the law, and they knew it. That is why they slunk away when Jesus said for the one who was without sin, probably in the then-current event, to cast the first stone. He did not forgive the woman or tell her what she had done was ok. He told her to sin no more, but he acted according to the law as the legal requirements to convict her had not been fulfilled.

As for paying for stuff, the president does not directly pay for stuff either. Both the president and Jesus have/had staff/disciples that handled those things. Judas was in charge of the money box that had the disciples funds. Jesus also had benefactors that had means and they funded much of his ministry. Just because he did not directly pay does not mean that he or his stole stuff.

As you rightly note, the Pharisees abused their positions for personal gains, both monetary and prestige. When Jesus called them out on that, he used scripture to support his position. He was both trying to reform them and help others whom they had misguided.

I do grasp that we are all sinners and you have chosen to go down your own moral road regardless of how it lines up with the law. That’s your choice. Comparing your conscience to that of God, well, good luck.

Examples? You were discussing Jewish law instances. Got any examples of Jesus violating Roman law as it applied to the 1st century Jews in Israel?

ETA - Mosaic law required both parties in adultery to be stoned. It was not just women as you stated.

The law under which both instances you are discussing was the Mosaic law. You need a refresher on the purpose of the temple and the legal requirements for finding someone guilty of adultery - hint:

Temple - what was the point of the court of the gentiles?
Adultery - where was the guy?

Time for some reading.

Rationalizations are more important than sex. When is the last day you went without a rationalization?

Congrats.

If I had the coin, I might have a Leica, but I have what I consider a poor man’s Leica - the Fuji X-T2. Size is similar, if much lighter and high quality lenses. Is it a Leica, nope, it’s a Fuji, but it works for me as a travel/knocking around kit.

My only question is does Leica have a tilt/shift lens?

Jesus would obey the law.

Everybody has one. We’ve found ours.

Until you do.

It all depends on what you shoot. If you can redo it, that’s a pain, may cost you a few $$$, but it’s doable. If you can’t get a redo, 2 slots are cheap insurance against a bad/corrupted card & a potential lawsuit.

Congrats!!!🍾🎉🎈

True, but I found it cheaper to upgrade to the D500 than upgrade the lighting at all the local fields/gyms. It sure is nice, given the rare opportunity, to shoot in NCAA Div 1 gyms & fields.

What would be your response if someone stated “I shoot HS sports, you know, poorly lit gyms and fields, with my D200. I have fast pro-level glass, set custom white balance for each venue and generally nail the exposure. I have noticed that my daytime shots rival the best, but my nighttime shots always have too much noise. I freeze the action at f/2.8 or faster, but I am always at ISO 800 or higher, more often than not at 1600. How can I get shots with lower noise?”
