Yes, I am aware of the code issues appearing at the top of the board.  Yes, I am working on fixing it, however, I may not be able to fully address it until the weekend.

Those that have followed my postings know that I picked up a new camera in April.  Of course, now that I have it, I haven't caught a fire scene worth shooting.  I ventured out today and shot a few different scenes with lenses that I've added since picking up the camera.  I tried many different settings and figured I'd share the results.

For those that haven't seen my other posts, the camera is a Sony Alpha A7 III, full frame 24.2MP Mirrorless Digital Camera

First up, moving targets with the Sony FE 24-240 f/3.5-6.3 lens. I picked this up used for about half the price of a new lens.

at around 10:30 Engine 101, Engine 5, Rescue 5, Ladder 1, and District chief 3 got toned out for a gas leak in the middle of downtown. when they got on scene they found that construction workers had severed a large gas line. due to the size of the gas line, the IC requested hazmat to respond. Rescue 9, Hazmat 9, Hazmat 7 (Canacled before arrival), Engine 103, Medical supervisor 74, ambulance 40, and safety 5 were added. Platoon chief 1, and deputy chief 57 also responded. Manitoba Hydro was able to shut down the line and crews waited for the gas to dissipate. the call lasted just shy of 3 hours.

Looks like Hallmark did a nice job with this year's ornament.

I currently use an 18-55 F4-5.6 kit lens, and a 55-250 F4-5.6 that I'm considering upgrading to a 70-200 F4 soon. what do you use?

I think we've all had the cabin fever from COVID.  Today, I took the ride to Toms River, NJ for Fire Company #1's 125th Anniversary Parade.  It was well worth the trip.

I haven't done much with the camera since getting it and this was a good workout with great results.  I shot in aperture priority, which I haven't done since I went to digital.  My Canon AV-1's were all aperture priority; it's what I learned to shoot on and they served me well for 20 years.  I used the old news photographer's adage of "f8 and be there" and it worked out pretty good.

The only downside was that traffic opposite the parade was allowed to continue during the parade, so I couldn't get the preferred driver's side shots.

First up, the Toms River Police Honor Guard
