I am super excited to now have the XF70-300mm telephoto lens. I’ll no longer feel crazy constrained taking pictures of birds and aircraft (mainly). Bonus that it is rather good at close range for macro.

Rain in California. You got to love it after months of hazy blue sky.

Extremely interesting to watch KSFO operations with a stiff wind from the south. All the approaches look bonkers landing at opposite ends of runways from normal. Like this WN904 flight-- they even had to do a Take Off/Go Around!

My account on mastodon.sdf.org straight up vanished during their database upgrades that were meant to increase performance. Lots of people losing accounts, posts, and follows. I’ll put this mildly: screw that. But I hope they can resurrect all those accounts and data.

Close up of the pea sized hail and frost. The hail didn’t melt overnight!

First major frosty morning here.

It’s hilarious to me that it’s easier for me to use the Sonos app to listen to the latest Apple Music Strombo Show. Sonos app can put the show front and center while Apple Music makes me search for Strombo cuz the Radio tab is garbage.

Fujifilm X Raw Studio is very snappy with the X-T5 camera. Hardly any wait for reprocessing lossless compressed raw. Took a few seconds with the X100V, and only a split second on the X-T5 w/provided USB C cables. That makes a huge difference.
