Neighborhood Outing Day 3 March 1

Walking around the neighborhood with 2 ginormous (yes, it is a real word!) cameras is weird. Watch moms and dads pack up their kids and briskly walk to the car as you make your way to the playground.

What I learned... Compensating for exposure is hard when you can only use one hand (gloved for 22 degrees, and the other is holding camera two) and the meter jumps back and forth due to trying to meter on different parts of your contraption instead of the viewfinder. Maybe I'll conjure up a hands free rig... watch the parents run to the car and then call for back up.

What else I learned...Check for weird stuff before you leave the house. A curious black square thing was stuck to my mirror... could be a neat effect for the future... but annoying for today. Maybe it happened when the lenses fogged and something got loose... I hate the cold.
