@jstoff I love my Canon 70-200 f2.8, my Canon 400mm f2.8 and my Canon 200-400mm f4 lenses—I spend too much money on glass—but the versatility of this is just crazy good. And it stays so sharp. The first frame is a crop from an image that was this size originally.
Used the Canon 100-300mm f2.8 lens for these photos from the St. Louis CITY vs Colorado Rapids game Saturday. I really shouldn’t spend $9500 on glass, but this is one of the best lenses I’ve ever used. Very sharp, many of these shots are highly cropped. Focused fast. And Energizer Park is well so I don’t need f2.8 but it’s nice to blur the background.

@Gte Just getting warmed up for the Olympics, the tournament that really matters. 😉

So happy the NHL players are back in the Olympics next year. Amazed the NHL got so many of us, me included, to be so invested in this four team tournament which is really just an expanded All-Star Game. An actual good job by the League.

Did I worry I was going to get hit by a puck while taking these photos in warmup?

Yes.

Did I get hit by a puck?

Yes.

Am I am I still happy I did it?

Yes.

@marcoarment I added two 10Gbps switches to my network last week so I could quickly edit photos stored on my Mac Studio in the basement while on my MacBook in my bedroom. A lot warmer. Just using the Cat5e cables that were already in the walls. I also have an Eero at 2.5Gbps over a Cat3 cable. Shocked it worked, but it's only maybe 15ft.

Been a game changer. Using Screen Sharing to start bulk Lightroom Denoise on files. Quickly backup my photos on ingest to a second location. Love it.

@jsnell @dmoren @lexfri I bought my ticket to the festival in Milwaukee faster than about any concert ticket I’ve ever bough. They’re a band I was always disappointed I never got to see. Might have to figure out a way to the Maryland show too.
@lexfri That’s a band I really regret never having seen live so… I’m ready to get my wallet out. Top three all-time favorite bands.
@hotdogsladies I appreciate that Rashida Jones is on the list as Angie Tribeca. Not enough people have seen that show.
@gruber If Tramell Tillman is not the lead of a franchise at some point…

@marcoarment Also probably the most fun I’ve had in a while playing with tech things. Adding wall plates, cutting & crimping old wires. Just a joy.

At my real job, we don’t have computers. All carbon copy paper but the telecoms are starting to require internet for phone service now. I’m just a store manager but also the company nerd. I did three of the stores re-wire and I can’t wait to re-use this home knowledge at work, if they let me. (Though our internet speeds are ~1Mbps up/down).
