Random Update... okay, photography updates

* I did 1.5 photo walks this week. The second one was too short to count as a full walk. Didn't get many pictures, maybe two. Still, got walking in. I really need to yeet myself up to St. Johns or something to get different streets to walk.

* The local photogroup that sometimes rejects my photos for being too dark and spoopy apparently don't know what what genitals look like. They approved a bunch of photos of slap tags by someone else and it's like ( cut to keep explicit words off of your flist. )

I need to find more groups to post to. But, meh. Flickr is dead. Insta sucks. I keep forgetting my twitter is actually a photography account and not a 'laugh at NFT stuff like the Openseas hack' account. I enjoy posting here, but I also want to get at least some of my work out there somewhere.

* I need to clean my gear tomorrow. I may have dropped a lenscap in wet grass tonight. Overall, I think I am due for a good cleaning and check of everything.

* I've just ordered a mini-LED that attaches to a zipper so I don't need to change lenses completely by feel. I don't think that's great for the camera mount. I wish the lenses had a bump I could feel for, instead of a dot, for lining up the lens and body.

* My OMD camera body is 5 years old and my PEN is 6... that doesn't mean I need an upgrade. Tho, I rarely use the PEN anymore. I need to find something to do with it. I love PENs and hate not having one. I was devastated when my PEN 5 broke in that fall I took at Deception Point and I had to do a lot to manage to replace it with a PEN 8, but now it's rarely in my bag. I needs more use.

Cleaned my gear

So, have a 'what's in my camera bag' post. Just camera phone pics of it. I used to do glamor shots of my gear every few years. It's been ages. I may do like fancy shots at a point.
