Hey Bruce, I see where you are going with it and could see it being useful for sure. I have in the past used different import settings in Lightroom based on ISO, so different edit settings were applied. It worked great for that generation of software but what I found was as the software evolved those setting all changed (adobe or topaz denoise etc) and with new cameras a lot of things are constantly changing. And i find now if I need an image I will almost always re-edit it anyway. I keep everything pretty simple now with just a name change on import name_date_cameraprefix ie.Clarke_240812_8435 This way all files will line up in order in lightroom by name. It is a great idea to use an sd card to save your baseline. I do find that my baseline tends to evolve over time so make sure to keep it updated as well. Cheers

@@raincoastphoto Thanks for the feedback. Always great to hear a different point of view.

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks Gille

You may be right, just the lens VR being active with F mount. I know the IBIS engages with non VR lenses, so was assuming was also working with my 200-500 which has great VR on its own. I will have to test it and see.

I agree with you, i just wish that was the world we lived in, with no need for the fighter jets as well. Yeah we got just a bit of rain hardly enough to spread around, hopefully the Okanagan sees some rain soon, with a La Nina coming this fall we will all be hoping for the rain to stop soon enough.

Not necessarily, the steep terrain and smaller lakes on the south island here actually work against the larger planes, but having all options available for different locations is the ideal situation

Just posted a follow up video with lots of engine noise

I am having trouble setting it up though. Getting this message when I try to turn shutter lock on “This option is not available at current settings or in the camera's current state” any ideas what I’m doing wrong? Any help kindly appreciated

My bad. I needed to be in M mode.

Yes the dreaded M mode, it has definitely taken some getting used to, having been an Aperture priority shooter for the last 20 years. But 8 months in and have switched everything over to Manual except for my Real Estate Photography, I still prefer aperture priority there.

Glad it was helpful! Cheers

HI, yeah all of the slow motion is done on the software side of things if you record in 60 or 120fps you can then slow it down to 24 or 30fps before placing it on your timeline in Davinci Resolve or Premiere. This allows you to record in H265 or N-raw for 60/120fps or Prores for 60fps. There are a few steps in order to make this happen and I will be covering it in a future video. Cheers

Thanks, yeah it is a great place to live that's for sure. The fire is currently being held

BIg fines and shaming on social media. A boat was filmed crossing in front of one of the planes and was all over the news

Oh go away. You're about as deep as your cup full of tears.

You're right, you are "sorry".

Facebook science strikes again. Should have stuck it out in the third grade.

To answer your second to last question... De Havilland Canada / Viking Air are producing a new version of these aircraft now in Canada (DHC-515 Firefighter).

​@@theRICKbowman Thanks. Canada is struggling to meet it's NATO military commitment to spend 2% of the GDP on Canada's military and Canada has recently been called out and embarrassed for not meeting its' commitment. How about Canada order a hundred or so of these water bombing aircraft under the military budget, to be owned by the military, but distribute them to the provinces that are being plaqued by wildfires? Provide the provinces with much needed fire fighting equipment, save Canada's valuable forests, protect the towns and cities in the path of wildfires and get closer to meeting our NATO commitment. The military budget serves both Canada's domestic requirements and foreign commitments. When the equipment is not urgently needed in Canada, the aircraft could serve other nations, such as the California wildfires. I understand that his aircraft can also serve very well in a search and rescue function and in monitoring Canada's sovereign coastline, tacking everything from foreign fishing trollers, submarines and smugglers. What do you think???

You're a bit confused. The Martin Mars is a retired airframe, and Viking, which is a subsidiary of DeHavilland, is building DHC 515s, an upgraded model of the CL 415, in Calgary. Current presale orders are all from overseas. To date, no Canadian orders for this aircraft have been placed.

And a great nudist resort a few minutes down the road in Cobble Hill!

@@suddenlysolo2170 that's true. A great German restaurant at the lake. I lived near the inn.

That's a Canadair CL 415, not a Martin JRM mars.

You need to do some research and studying.

Thanks Don

Coulson is in Port Alberni and one of the largest air fire fighting companies in the world. They go where they are hired and paid. It seems that in BC and Canada, if companies don’t kick money to the government they don’t get hired.

4 days ago we had the hottest day ever recorded on Earth.

Just the two from Ontario plus some helicopters, but they are not filling up on Shawnigan Lake

Thank you very much!

For the most part people are staying out of the way, a large fine if you get in the way definitely helps

Fines can be levied from $1150.00 to $100,000.00 if you don't park your watercraft. “All boaters are required to dock immediately if aircraft are operating on the lake as any obstruction to approach, filling and departures will cause the mission to be aborted,”

very cool thanks for the info, I imagine they need constant inspection with the amount of forces they endure

@@raincoastphoto this was on the assembly line in Montréal.

@@raincoastphoto these things are flying tanks. There is a video of sécurité civile in France of a CL-415 topping off a decent size wooden mast off a sailboat. I read the report and saw pictures of the damage. Wasn't that bad.

Thanks for watching

two planes, I was just swapping between photos and video for each. The turn around was 10-12 minutes

unfortunately between a beach full of people, wind, and slow motion not many options for real time audio

Has it even flown yet?

Turn down the volume!!!

@@stevecarter9027 I muted it but I really wanted to hear the deep drone of the engines.

Exactly

Thanks and I agree

And a better question is, why doesn't BC have our own fleet??? We used to, we have helicopters with tea cups.

@@allanpiercy4785 I think we just contracted out the water bombers, we didn't own them, at least not in the last 30 or 40 years. Wildfires don't respect provincial boundaries so there should be federal firefighting equipment and teams stationed throughout the country ready to respond.

Now viking air owns the rights to these aircraft. Assembled in Calgary now.

@HuckThis1971 many many years away from CL515'S

@@MichaelBarriskill cl 515 is going to be an awesome aircraft.

Justin thinks its better to send our money to Ukraine.
