It is still quite warm and humid but Nebraska is green (greener than even Kansas).

Precision Macro Focusing Rails for Macro Photography

4-way macro focusing rails with two rails (one goes left-right, the other goes forward-back) to assist in macro photography. While it can be used with just one of these, I find having two assembled (as shown in the picture) makes it easier when focusing closely. Precise movements are especially useful for focus-stacking.

The only thing I don't like about these is the red-colored knobs. Since these are used at such close proximity to the subject, these could contribute to unwanted color cast. Would have been nice if they were left black, like the rest of the parts.

When life gives you ginger, you make...

Harvested from my backyard. In normal times, I would share this with my friends and neighbors. Since we are all doing our part with shelter-in-place, I have to do something by myself with all of the harvest this time. I had this in the pan on my kitchen table when the morning light, coming from a window, shining on this raw ginger had me marveling at as simple a thing as ginger which, in normal times previously, I hadn't noticed at all! The color, texture, and aroma...are all simply wonderful!

I hope I'm not the only one noticing more things now, sheltering in place, than when there was no restriction on movement.

Hi, my name is Maneuver...

Hi, my name is Maneuver and I provide camera support.
(picture in your mind an introduction at camera gear addicts anonymous meeting!)

Maneuver is not just a play on Manfrotto and Neewer, the manufacturers of two products (Manfrotto MP3-BK and Neewer Low-Profile Ball Head) combined to make this stable tripod-like support. It is also because of the maneuverability this little gizmo allows for in tiny spaces. Standing barely 3" tall, sturdy enough to support my Sony mirrorless cameras with a short prime lens. I've used this on tables at restaurants, on the floor in gardens to get close to tiny plants, on streets for low angles otherwise hard to achieve any other way, etc. The behind-the-scenes pictures will be here soon.
