Downloading is slower than in the past. I thought it was my ISP. The DLs are jerky unloading from top to bottom. My ISP is abysmal, right now, DL is 7.54 Mbs! I am running a Ryzen & with 32 gigs RAM and SSDs. The quality of DLs are fine.

Great one!

Aside from the other commentary on your technique, your hip/weight transition is early. Have a video taken from your side and watch the hip/weight transfer. Early hip action can cause a too quick up swing and topping the ball. Good luck.

I agree with you Mark. The "RAP" music shares some Baroque thematics, but is boring, and who needs the lyrics! I am a few years younger than you, but I always liked the music from the "30's and 40's", Broadway and Doo Wop. I kind of remember a smoking party celebrating with Stan Getz the release of his album, "FOCUS" in the Miami area back in the hazy early "60's". Oh, the good old days. Columbia Records used to have annual conventions in Miami Beach and the music was great. I still enjoy the "Moody Blues" music; but fear, like you the Broadway genre will be lost. I think the upcoming release of a new "WEST SIDE STORY" will portend whether or not there will be broad demand for classic Broadway or classical music. Stay the course...

I bought one about 18 months ago from BH. It folds small and is sturdy. I used it for a star shoot and some outdoor group classes. It is an engineered resin and gets attention when openeing and closing. I have a 3 legged short folding canvas stool that cost over $60. and it was not stable enough for me.

I heard this story years ago. The Brit said, "It was a bit off."

Read Robert Louis Stevenson. One of his poems referred to his "counterpane"whilst he was bedridden, as a child.

I have used Canon tech support about five times in the past three years. I, currently have four Canon printers, a pro 100, two PIXMA 9200 series and a second large format photo PRINTER. All , but the 13 x 19 photo printer (can't remember the model #) have required a call to tech support, both in and out of warranty. In warranty; once solved the issue by a remove and reinstall, the second: tech support replaced the printer with a NEW one and instructed me to keep the cartridges from the defective out of the box printer. No charge shipping both directions. Received replacement in two days!

Bottom line, Canon tech support has made me a fan boy of the product. BTW, I do not photo print a lot, but use my two AIO printers about thirty to forty pages daily each. I use OEM ink only, and find costs of ink to be reasonable through Staples' recycling and ink credit program. Mm and the call!

Rabbi Sendrow always had intellectually acute sermons when he was at Temple Judea in Fort Myers, FL. Very thoughtful in deeds...

For a decent low priced large format PHOTO PRINTER Canon me sled this model:

Canon PIXMA iP8720 Wireless Inkjet Photo Printer
$249.99
Canon
You may order from Canon and get sometimes lotsa free paper, or wherever. It goes in and out of stock, so check it out. I have one at my office as nd I print copies of our weekly real estate ads to place in our windows. Very frugal with ink. I printed over thirty full res color sheets (13x19 semi gloss) with it so far and all cartridges are original except magenta. It has a photo gray that helps your glossy BW pop. Not as good as the PRO 100, but faster and a lot cheaper.

I have two of them. Only USB hook up as my Wi-Fi is spotty., but you should be to transmit over WiFi to thus fine printer/scanner. There is a wide format Canon using the same ink plus photo gray that makes prints almost as good as my pro 100. Call Canon and their phone support should walk you thru the hooky, or try YouTube. BTW, the 922 is a capable photo printer as well.

Very nice set of pictures. What focal lens did you use for eachshot and did you do any software perspective correction? I like the CLEAN colors lines of this structure. When I go to Sarasota I will try to take time to view this building.

I feel many of us hogs, started just as you. The amazing software advances simply makes one work harder and smarter at the same time. Imagine what Ansel Adam's would create with software.

Color one is, to my eyes, much improved. The B&W pix are ok. Start with the raw file and lighten shadows all the way and then lighten highlights all the way. Then adjust to taste. Convert to B & W , lastly use the contrast slider to extend or decrease perceived dynamic range. Good work

PSPro has a gradient filter, i think. Raw is way to go. Just lighten shadows a bit and darken highlights globally; should do the trick,
