Went up to Idaho last week to photograph this beautiful G-280 for a client of mine. Their client is upgrading and getting a G-500. Times must be tough.
Heading back out to Idaho next week for another G-280.
I knew that this would be the case from the get go, but the trick with the Hasselblad is to discipline one's self to determine where and when to use it. I had a St. Patrick's Day lunch with our Granddaughters and afterward we took their new little lamb out for a quick photo shoot. I really knew that the R5II and the RF100-500 would be the right tools for the job, but I couldn't resist trying to stretch the X2DII just too see what it would do. Had I used the Canon I would have gotten more images, but they wouldn''t have been any cuter..............

These are really sharp and clean Jim. JIII is growing like a "weed". "The Child Is Father Of The Man"..both the song and the poem Jim.
I had a 1962 Corvette that I built from the ground up and raced it at the local dragstrip. I believe the vette next to the subject is a 1962 or 1961...
Yeah I am ready to "go out" in style and get me one of these classics.
Nice Jim!

Hey Dan, Have you ever researched that beautiful Vette you built to see where it is now?
Something weird, when we were in high school 0-60 was always the benchmark. Whatever car would do 0-60 in 6 seconds , everyone was amazed. Tesla has just obliterated those numbers with a docile looking sedan. How about 0-60 in 3 seconds? Steve Zimmerman was always on me to buy a Tesla, and that's when they represented a liberal virtue signal, but I was not interested in the least (in the car or the virtue signal). Now that Elon is a conservative.....still not interested in the car. Don't get me wrong, they are obviously innovative and have their place, I'm just old school and like to hear my car running. I also need more than 317 mile range out of a vehicle, we can do that going to the drug store in Texas.........

Yes I have Jim. It "resides" with my cousin in New Jersey. He helped me build the engine and he wanted "first dibbs" if I sold it.
The last year I raced it, 1966, I was drafted out of college so "JJ" bought it.
It is still in the "family". It was re-restored to a "street version" for his kids.

Jim - have you seen the McMurtry Speirling:
0-97 km/h (60 mph) in 1.55 seconds
0-161 km/h (100 mph) in 2.63 seconds
0-233 km/h (145 mph) in 4.98 seconds
These kids are amazing. I give Chandler any new technology that I have acquired and within minutes he has it all paired, set up and ready to work.We spent a couple of hours at the hangar last night fine tuning the RS5 Gimbal and brainstorming different applications for it. I sent it home with him so he could get more familiar with it. The RS5 is so much easier to balance and use when compared to my previous Ronin gimbals.He wants to take it up in the helicopter to see what it will do there.
The Mavic 4 Pro does not like flying under the 777 fuselage. I have done it four times now, but it gets pretty squirrelly and last time it disconnected from the controller and went on a little side trip for a minute. We are now using the RS5 to capture that perspective because no one needs that much adrenaline in their bloodstream.
Jim, I have a friend who's a retired Navy pilot and has his planes - he has one of these remote controlled dollies that he uses to move his planes around. Would something like that work for running underneath the fuselage of a plane? Not that I want to put Chandler out of work, though he could be driving the dolly...
