Looks ‘bout a 5-8 rod portage. No problem and a nice time to rollcast for dinner.

Stinky cheese in double broiled eggs over Baby Jesus salami on arugula with green onion olive oil on sourdough. HOLY CRAP TRY THIS.
“Had no 216 for a 750W Source Four (50 degree) working as a hairlight on a cosmetics shoot so I used a shoe bootie. Looked so much nicer than anything I’ve ever used, I’m definitely making this my goto.”

Seriously, the Tyvek shoe booties one wears to keep the cyclorama pristine make the tight and brunt lens of a Source Four just forgiving enough to kill off some of sensor-clipping specularity while increasing the wrap just enough on the hair and side of the face to prevent highlight blooming and turn-your-pores-into-space-program-photographed-moon-craters. Retains all the falloff of full white diff or tough-spun, too. Be prepared to flag or blackwrap spill if you have to, though.
Also: you don’t need any C-47’s!
And I’ve only tried this with a 50 degree barrel so I don’t know if a 10 or 19 degree firestarter will brown or burn or worse said shoe bootie.
Sidenote: maybe I’ll try this with the hospital-blue booties we’re sometimes issued, see how they render tungsten on Kelvin temp and such.
Costco CEO Craig Jelinek supports raising the minimum wage.
Costco announced record profits today, averaging $10,000 in profit per employee compared to $7,400 at Walmart.
The secret to Costco’s success is paying employees well, providing benefits, and giving them an opportunity to unionize.So large corporations’ excuses that treating & paying workers well would damage profits are all a crock of shit.
Also: not hiring a CEO that wants to cut employee wages in order to increase their own wage helps a bit.
