I picked up an adapter on eBay, to use my old FD mount canon lenses on my current EF-S mount camera. It’s not perfect… it messes with the light and focus. But I did make sure to get one with the lens to compensate as much as possible. It also requires manual focus and aperture. I popped off a couple test shots while Abbey scowled at me. And I got a few with the modern version of the same lens, for comparison. Need to work on my focusing. But it will be fun to use the old glass, sometimes.
Abbey and I went to the Maryland Renn Faire a couple times again this summer. It’s always a fun day of hanging out with friends (in costume). Maryland’s faire has some good performers, and a very nice location.

Last weekend, Abbey and I went out to Vanguard. I think it was the first club night we’d been to since Spellbound shut down. Nice seeing some friends, with friendly strangers and good music.

Getty Images—probably the biggest supplier of stock photography—has updated their submission requirements to ban the retouching of photos for the sake of making the model look thinner or larger.
They cited a new french law requiring notification of such changes. But regardless of why they did it, I think it’s a good change.
It doesn’t stop the end user from making the same change to the image. But it does mean we have a supply of truthful body images from which we can work.
