Pretty sure I failed on three of my resolutions this year, specifically taking a picture every day and posting it (Project 365 2022), playing a tabletop sports game every day, and playing a tabletop wargame every weekend.
Those may have been the only three I had made, other than ‘get healthier’.
Ah well.
Found a whole bunch of slides in the garage today.
These are stamped APR71 to JUN71.
And then I found a box of slides.
I didn’t organize them too well, I’m afraid.
Found some negatives in a kitchen cabinet that my Dad used for miscellaneous storage of stuff, most of which I tossed or put in recycling.
But hey, more old photos!
One of the coolest G.I. Joe accessories that I recall from childhood is the Turbo Copter. Basically it was a one-man helicopter backpack.
Recently a Brazilian company reissued the Turbo Copter (as Turboćoptero) along with a figure.
I was very close to ordering that set, until Cotswold parted out the set, with the backpack selling separately.
I had an idea for something more than a basic Adventure Team figure to go with this: why not a Cybernetic Explorer?

I did a factory reset on my Canon, and a couple of test shots this morning appeared to have fixed the issue with whatever settings I screwed up.
I also picked up a couple of new memory cards (64GB) since they were on sale, and the 32GB card that I was using was producing a ‘cannot read card’ error message. I initially thought that the off brand replacement battery may have been causing the error, as some folks had been stating online, but it happened when I used the stock battery with the camera as well.
I need to start taking pictures again. Maybe my toy rocket will go on a mission this weekend.
This got delivered to the office today:
Canon Speedlite 470EX-AI, an auto intelligent bounce flash for my Rebel T6i camera. I need to read up on how it works, and watch a few videos on bounce flash photography.
I took a few shots with and without the flash:
Shutter Priority setting
Aperture Priority setting
