Firmware updates

 The layers of complexity that we have come to accept as normal as photographers occasionally gives me pause. This is one of those times. (Although waiting for the update to finish gave me time to reflect and write this post... Almost done 83%...)

Peripherals


 The boring stuff is always hard to prioritize. Even for a gear head like myself, I find it difficult focus on the support pieces in my kit. It’s usually in middle of a shoot when I’m getting frustrated with a shortcoming that I’ll realize that it might have been more important than previously held.

You know the stuff. Light-stands, filters, caps, triggers, cards, etc.

One I’ve been half heartedly pursuing is a filter set. There is a psychological barrier from an early experience when I used a smudged (fluorescence?)filter on shoot. The lesson learned should be more about awareness, but I still hesitate to introduce points of failure to my system. And quality is expensive when talking filters. And since I have an ultra-wide lens I need ultra-wide filters. Like 150mm big. 

Filling in the boring niches allows furthering the capabilities of our gear… Which isn’t really boring. So… 10 stop 150mm here I come.
