Shitty Camera Challenge , Day 38 Argh, the Sun&Cloud camera really doesn't do well in low-light. Even at ISO 100 the picture is over- and underexposed at the same time. Gnarly. Previously...

Shitty Camera Challenge , Day 35: This evening we were able to have some friendly cat time during our walk. The friendly kitties aren't always around to our disappointment, but they were tonight. 😺 I didn't get a picture of the black kitty we saw first, but

If I Could Only Keep 10 Fountain Pens

The thought experiment of limiting one's fountain pen collection to 10 pens has been weaving through the fountain pen internets for a little while now. At first I thought I'd just let the whole trend blow over because sometimes I randomly and stubbornly rebel against doing

Shitty Camera Challenge : Day 33 I got this Gamesir Pocket Taco mobile controller that clamps over the bottom of my iPhone. Had to buy it because it's in "atomic purple". 😀 Kind of annoying to set up, but I used this post to get the settings

Shitty Camera Challenge , Day 29 Lantanas or "starflowers" as I call them are one of my favorite flowers. Naturally I had to try out the DH2's macro mode with one. Not too bad, I think! I like taking macro shots, so I'll have to

Solving Another Problem With 3D Printing

Thanks to the Shitty Camera Challenge going on right now, I busted out my Digital Harinezumi 2 and have been shooting with it recently. You may have noticed in a previous post that I had blue tape on the DH2: This is because the battery compartment lid broke a while

Shitty Camera Challenge , Day 28: Incorrect focus and overexposed thanks to ISO 800, but I like the painterly look that resulted. That sky color is just so off, though! 😜 Previously:  Day 1 ,  Day 2 ,  Day 3 ,  Day 4 ,  Day 5 ,  Day 6 ,
