The Lego Question Block I built recently has proven to be rather popular, and since it's quite small, I figured it would be a good build to offer as a Build-It-Yourself project! Cost direct from Lego is about $12, and instructions and part lists can be found at chrismcveigh.com.

Personally, I like the dialog between this old questioning woman,
versus the young determined lady from the post before her.
Some may call it: 'generation gap', some: 'life experience', some: 'personality difference',
some: 'cultural difference',
and you?

Snowy night on an East Village street.
Camera: Sony a99
---
We wander through streets
dusted with
the scattered remnants
of the sky's memories:
cloud debris
that cushions
the weight of hope
as we walk
with our faces turned
towards the city night's stars
that lead our way
into the melted light
of dreams.

I have been going through my large collection of city snow photographs both for a current client and for the book that I am writing and putting together. What I love the most about snow at night is the timeless quality it imparts to the city. It's the leveler of time in some respects.

One reason is that there are so many different womanly looks that I want to experience; and that takes time.
And a corollary of that: There were so many years wasted when I would not, or could not, dress that I am making up for lost opportunities.
And, at the risk of being morbid, when I realize that the end is a lot closer than the beginning, I also realize I don't have any time to waste. Losing 15 months during the pandemic was bad enough, but beyond my control. I am in control now.

This is a photo of three comets: C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE), C/2019 U6 (Lemmon), and C/2017 T2 (PANSTARRS). Here's the story of how this photo came to be...
I received an interesting question from my neighbor regarding Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) and a Meteor after I posted it to Flickr four weeks ago: Have you ever seen two comets in the same photo?
I couldn't remember ever seeing a photo like this, but I filed the idea away. Interestingliny, when Comet NEOWISE came up in conversation with some astronomy friends over the weekend, someone mentioned that another comet might be close enough to it to capture in the same frame. I checked Stellarium and found not just one nearby comet, but two comets that could be captured in the same frame with NEOWISE.
I also noted that the comets were spread out over about a 10 degree span, and that I would be able to contain them within a single frame using my Canon EOS 60Da with a 55mm lens. I had the great fortune to be able to use Arcturus and Muphrid in Bootes to help get my camera on target.
Getting the image that I wanted required that I stretch my processing skills, but somehow I managed. Not only was I able to see the two dim comets, I cross checked against Stellarium to verify that the two green blobs were indeed Lemmon and PANSTARRS.
That same Saturday evening one of Howard Astronomical League's dark observing sites was opened for its members, and I went out on my first attempt to image the three comets. I set up with my camera mounted on a Omegon LX2 Mini (mechanical wind up) tracker. I had not used this device for some time, so I found myself fumbling with it way too long. By the time I was polar aligned, had the target framed, and decided on the exposure, I was exactly one hour later than I had hoped to start imaging. By then the comets were very low, and ground fog had started to appear. I did not have a dew heater for the camera lens, so it was completely overwhelmed by moisture.
I could see NEOWISE in my unprocessed images on my dewy laptop screen, and I was able to verify that I was capturing the star field that contained the other two comets. Even though I could not see the comets in these images, I was hopeful that I would be able to pull them out in post-processing. But try as I might in the clear light of day, I got nuthin!
Amazingly, we had another lucky break in the clouds, and the site was opened again on Sunday night. I added a battery and dew heater to my pack up, and headed out again. Equally as important, I spent some time reacquainting myself with the tracker in the clear light of day. It was another very moist evening, but not nearly as challenging at the night before. I was able get up and running to start shooting sub-frames as soon as it was dark enough, and I could see that my data quality was much higher than the first time out. I couldn't see the other two comets, but I saw enough stars that I was pretty sure that I could pull the other two comets out in post processing.
Besides the obvious breakthrough in capturing three comets in the same image, this is the first time that I have produced a star field any where close to as rich and star-filled as this one. My second place effort doesn't even come close. I must add that I am pretty impressed with the tracker. Of 50 sub-frames that I shot, I threw away only one for a tracking issue. Not bad for a low-tech wind up device?!! I'll be sure to set this device up again before I forget how to use it.
Canon EOS 60Da with 50mm lens at f/2.8, and mounted on a Omegon LX2 Mini Tracker. Twenty minutes total integration time in 47 x 25 second light frames (nearly 20 minutes total integration time). Calibration frames consisted of 25 dark frames, 25 flat frames, and 25 flat dark frames. Light frames and calibration frames were stacked in Deep Sky Stacker, and post-processing was done in Photoshop.
HI! I have a Question. Which do you watch Flickr Smart phone or PC? I always upload by PC(MAC) but I always check Flickr by iphone.
Since the question was raised – there are pretty huge age gaps between all of the children. Only ones close in age are the twins and Morgana (seven years gap) and then later on Nightingale and Wulfric (five years gap).
Despite Wulfric being the younger one of the two, he pretty soon starts to protect his brother in all situations (Pazuzu blames this on his animalistic instincts due to being partial wolf shapeshifter) and he never gets out of that habit even as adults.
Both are the only child who spend their lives constantly within reach of Pazuzu without any “I need at least a millennia away from my Mom to recover from the trauma she put me through”-hiatus.
Wulfric by becoming a blood hunter and therefore a spy for his mother in the Council (because Pazuzu’s children are not known by everyone) and Nightingale by marrying one of the elven noblemen and succeeding in getting some of the elvish clans onto his mother’s side (because at large the elvish society still blames her – in both forms – for the ruin of the elvish society and the fact that they crumbled their civilization to dust and ruins, reducing them to a life as nomads mostly).
Honestly, these two benefit from the fact that life was still calm, Pazuzu had five other children before them as test subjects and they were kinda raised okayish for Pazuzu’s standards xD
ALSO I DON’T KNOW HOW CLEAR IT IS BUT BASICALLY THEY ARE PLAYING KNIGHT AND PRINCESS – Wulfric is the prince who slayed the evil dragon (Pazuzu) to protect his princess (Nightingale). And okay, Pazuzu might also be drunk and fighting a killer headache but shush. We do not speak of Pazuzu's alcohol habit.
In doll news, we reached those children who have no proper clothes yet so I need to get creative x'D

In Ladakh the general emphasis of photographers is to take in the wide desert mountainsides and the occasional portrait of monks and lined weathered faces of the local citizens.
Not much gets documented about the people and how they spend their time, specially not the worn out forgotten old people spending their time spinning a prayer wheel and counting prayer beads in the alleys and backways of Leh city.
The ruined and dilapidated structure behind the two "at peace" Ladakhis has since then disappeared. The structure was being brought down when this was shot one day in the late afternoon in November. A shard of strong sunlight came through the domes and walls of a Buddhist temple lighting up the two men deep in their conversation. What were they talking about? That question hurriedly crossed my mind as I reeled off a few shots without disturbing the peace of the place. I was more worried about mundane things like exposure and getting a good focus on a hunting lens.

Österreich / Vorarlberg - Bregenzerwald
Alberschwende
The Bregenz Forest (German: Bregenzerwald, pronounced [ˈbʁeːɡɛnt͡sɐˌvalt]) is one of the main regions in the state of Vorarlberg (Austria). It overlaps, but is not coterminous with, the Bregenz Forest Mountains, which belong to a range of the Northern Limestone Alps, specifically the northern flysch zone. It is the drainage basin of the Bregenzer Ach river.
The regional inhabitants often divide the Bregenz Forest into two main areas, the Vorderwald ("anterior forest") and Hinterwald ("hinterforest"). The Vorderwald, with its hills and low mountains, is closest to the Rhine valley. The Hinterwald has the higher mountains, with altitudes of up to 2,000 metres. Each of the two regions has its own distinctive dialect variations.
Until 1814, parts of the Allgäu in the north and north-west belonged to Vorarlberg. Since the entire region was settled by the Alemanni, the Lake Constance Alemannic dialect became predominant beginning in the 5th and 6th centuries. Over the centuries there was a brisk trading of goods which, with the increased extension of marriages and family networks, led to a linguistic intermingling. Especially in the "Vorderwald" the influence of the Allgäu dialect is particularly noticeable. By contrast, in the Mittelwald and Hinterwald regions the predominant language forms show a stronger connection with the Hofsteig region and Dornbirn. Speakers outside of the Bregenzer Wald region perceive (Wälderisch) as an idiom of its own. It must be noted, however, that there is no uniform Vorarlbergisch dialect - there are considerable local and regional variations. The official language in Vorarlberg is, of course, High German (Hochdeutsch).
Traditional costumes ("Tracht") have a long history in Vorarlberg. Many valleys and villages have their own kind of garb, each with special characteristics from certain style periods. The Bregenzerwälder garb is the oldest of its kind. It originated in the 15/16th century. The Bregenzerwälder tracht for women is called "d'Juppô" (Bavarian: "Juppe"). One of the last places that still manufacture the Juppe in the traditional way is the Juppenwerkstatt Riefensberg.
In 2014, the project BUS:STOP Krumbach was completed. When the municipality of Krumbach decided to rebuild seven bus stops in 2010, they hired seven international architects to design bus shelters. Local craftsmen executed their designs. While each stop differs in design, the bus stops are all meant to uniquely integrate architecture into the natural surroundings.
The Werkraum Bregenzerwald is an association of craftsmen in the Bregenz Forest founded in 1999. It aims at networking and supporting craft, design and technology businesses in the area. The publicly accessible place is used to present the craftsmanship, to promote building culture in cooperation with architects and to increase design competence and quality of craftsmanship with the preferred involvement of young people.
Residents of the Bregenz Forest earn their living primarily from tourism, agriculture and especially the wood processing industry. Many locals also commute to work in the Rhine Valley, Vorarlberg's economic center.
Alpine transhumance denotes the three-tier agricultural structure of the Bregenz Forest. It is the seasonal movement of livestock between mountain and lowland pastures, usually under the care of herders. In spring 2011, it was declared as intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO. It was recognised that the Bregenz Forest is "an impressive landscape on the north side of the Alps" that has "largely maintained its traditional farming structure." This includes linear or nucleated villages, with farmsteads dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries. In addition, there are many small craft workshops within the farming communities. Singled out for particular mention were the villages of Thal, Schwarzenberg, and Schoppernau, with their outstanding examples of original Bregenz Forest houses ("Wälderhäuser").
The Bregenz Forest is known also as a skiing region, but other attractions include the "Käsestraße" and the "Schubertiade" festival of classical music, in Schwarzenberg. The Bregenz Forest is cherished for its unspoiled nature, old traditions, and genuine hospitality. It is also particularly well-known amongst gourmets for its "KäseStrasse Bregenzerwald", an association of farmers, restaurateurs, craftspeople and traders promoting the Bregenz Forest agriculture and its local products, especially cheese. In particular, Bregenz Forest Mountain Cheese ("Bregenzerwälder Bergkäse") and the Alpkäse are internationally renowned specialities.
The Bregenz Forest Railway ("Bregenzerwaldbahn" or, colloquially, "’s Wälderbähnle") is a favorite attraction of the region. It is a museum railway that operates on a surviving section of a narrow gauge railway. From 1902 to 1983, the "Wälderbähnle" worked a line stretching 35.5 kilometres (22 mi) from Bregenz to Bezau. In October 2004, a section of 5 km (3.1 mi) was opened up for tourists again.
In 2000, the Women's Museum opened in Hittisau, the only one of its kind in Austria. The museum is devoted to the display and documentation of the cultural works and (her) stories of women, which deal with a broad variety of topics, including questions of female identity and gender roles.
Another cultural attraction in the Bregenz Forest is the Angelika Kauffmann Museum in Schwarzenberg. The museum is dedicated to the Classicist artist Angelica Kauffman, and has an Austrian museum seal of quality.
The region is also popular because of its hiking and cycling trails.

Bregenzerwald ist die Bezeichnung für eine Region im österreichischen Bundesland Vorarlberg. Diese umfasst im Wesentlichen das Einzugsgebiet der Bregenzer Ach südöstlich von Bregenz, in der Nähe des Bodensees, bis an den Hochtannbergpass.
Der Bregenzerwald ist vor allem für seine Architektur, die Landschaftspflege durch die 3-Stufen Landwirtschaft (Maiensäss), die zugehörigen Sennereiprodukte sowie für den Wintersport bekannt.
„Bregenzerwald“ ist die in Vorarlberg und meistens auch im übrigen Österreich gängige Schreibweise. In Deutschland wird zum Teil auch die Schreibweise „Bregenzer Wald“ verwendet. Dieter Seibert, der Autor der Alpenvereinsführer der Region, weist darauf hin, dass die Gegend heute kein reines Waldgebiet mehr ist, sondern eine Kulturlandschaft mit Almen/Alpen, man daher nicht mehr von einem Bregenzer „Wald“ sprechen kann, sondern einen Regionsbegriff vorliegen hat, die getrennte Schreibweise also veraltet wäre.[2]
Der Name Bregenzerwaldgebirge wird dagegen im Zusammenhang mit der Einteilung der Alpen in Untergruppen verwendet. Beide Begriffe sind nicht deckungsgleich. Der Bregenzerwald umfasst auch Teile der Allgäuer Alpen und des Lechquellengebirges. Umgekehrt greift das Bregenzerwaldgebirge auch in die Landschaften des Rheintals, des Walgaus und des Großen Walsertals aus.
Der Bregenzerwald grenzt im Westen an die im Rheintal befindliche Bodenseeregion, im Norden an Deutschland bzw. Bayern (Landkreise Lindau und Oberallgäu), im Nordosten an das Kleinwalsertal, im Osten am Tannberg an das Arlberggebiet und im Süden an das Große Walsertal.
Um das Jahr 1000 wurde der damals noch ganz bewaldete Bregenzerwald von Bregenz aus besiedelt und kultiviert. Die höchstgelegenen Gebiete hingegen wurden im Spätmittelalter von Walsern besiedelt, die aus dem Graubünden beziehungsweise ursprünglich aus dem Wallis stammten.
Während die nördlichen Teile des Bregenzerwaldes (die Gerichte Alberschwende, Lingenau und Sulzberg) zur Herrschaft Bregenz gehörten, waren die Gerichte Damüls und Innerbregenzerwald Teil der Herrschaft Feldkirch. Diese 1338 vollzogene Teilung ist die Grundlage für die heute noch gängige Unterscheidung von vorderem und hinterem Bregenzerwald.
1390 fielen mit dem Verkauf der Grafschaft Feldkirch der Innerbregenzerwald und Damüls an Österreich, die Gerichte Lingenau und Alberschwende folgten 1451. Der Tannberg mit den Bregenzerwäldergemeinden Schröcken und Warth wurde 1453 österreichisch, und 1523 erwarben die Habsburger schließlich auch noch das Gericht Sulzberg.
Nach 1380 bildete sich insbesondere im Innerbregenzerwald eine Selbstverwaltung der Bauernschaft des Waldes heraus (sogenannte Bauernrepublik), mit eigener freier Landgemeinde, eigener Verfassung (Landsbrauch) und Hoch- und Blutgerichtsbarkeit. Als Vorsteher wurde ein Landammann gewählt, meist aus den angesehensten Familien des Bregenzerwaldes. Auf der noch erhaltenen Landammännertafel finden sich viele der bekannten Namen, die ursprünglich aus dem Bregenzerwald stammen, z. B. Feurstein, Meusburger, Metzler, mit ihren Wappen abgebildet.
Der Landammann wurde in freier Wahl bestellt, sein Rathaus stand auf der Bezegg zwischen Bezau und Andelsbuch. Heute erinnert dort die Bezegg-Sul, eine steinerne Säule an das frühere Rathaus.
Bestätigt wird die Existenz der Bauernrepublik in der Überlieferung zum Kapuzinerpater Stanislaus Saurbeck (1595–1647): Der Bregenzer Wald sei noch zu Beginn des 17. Jahrhunderts „eine lange unerschlossene Wildnis“ gewesen, die „bereits in den Chroniken des 16. Jahrhunderts einen schlechten Ruf“ besessen habe.
Die Chronisten erklären die „(tiefe) Stufe des sittlich-religiösen Lebens“ der Bewohner, „obgleich sie von katholischen Eltern abstammten“ mit Gebräuchen und Sitten von „heidnischen Voreltern“, die sie wie einen „krassen Aberglauben beibehalten hatten. So roh, wild und sittenlos sie in ihrem Betragen waren, ebenso schamlos und ärgerlich sollen vorzüglich die Weibsbilder gekleidet gewesen sein.“
„Eine gründliche Erneuerung und sittliche Umgestaltung im ganzen Bregenzerwalde“ erfolgte erst auf Initiative von Pater Stanislaus: Die Kapuziner „eilten in ihrem unersättlichen Durste nach Seelen von Hütte zu Hütte, von Dorf zu Dorf, belehrten das Volk durch Gespräche, Christenlehren und Predigten, ruhten und rasteten nicht eher, bevor die Eisdecke einbrach und die rauhen und kalten Gemüter warm wurden.“
In der weiteren Folge der Missionisierung kam es in der Talschaft „zur Gründung eines kleinen Kapuzinerklosters. Am 12. Juli 1655 legte der Abt von Mehrerau, Heinrich Amberg, den Grundstein zum Klosterbau [in Bezau], am 22. Oktober 1656 wurde die Klosterkirche vom Fürstbischof Johann von Praßberg konsekrisiert.“
Bereits 1658 wurde die letzte Untertänigkeit, die zum Kloster Mehrerau, aufgelöst – also 190 Jahre vor der Bauernbefreiung von 1848.
So war es den Bregenzerwäldern, im Gegensatz zu den meisten Bauern der damaligen Zeit, möglich, sich als Freie überall niederzulassen. Man findet vor allem im Schwäbischen zahlreiche Namen, die auf den Bregenzerwald zurückgehen.
Die bäuerliche Verfassung wurde während der Franzosenkriege abgeschafft und danach nicht mehr eingeführt.
Noch zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts gab es unzählige Alpen und Höfe, auf denen die Land- und Viehwirtschaft sowie die Herstellung von Käse betrieben wurden. Auch heute sind noch zahlreiche Alpen bewirtschaftet, doch wird dies zunehmend von weniger Bauern betrieben.
Bis etwa zum Jahr 1900 mussten viele Bregenzerwälder Kinder von Mai bis Oktober ins baden-württembergische Schwaben (Deutschland) gehen, um dort auf Bauernhöfen zu arbeiten. So gab es in der Sommerzeit für ihre Eltern ein Kind weniger zu füttern. Diese Kinder wurden unter dem Namen Schwabenkinder bekannt.
Ein Bregenzerwaldhaus ist auf der Rückseite der 100-Schilling-Banknote von 1970 zu sehen.
Im Bregenzerwald herrscht das Bodenseealemannische vor. Vor allem im nordwestlichen Teil des Bregenzerwaldes (= Vorderwald) ist der Einfluss des Allgäuerischen hörbar, dabei ähnelt die Mundart stark dem westallgäuerischen Dialekt. Dagegen dominieren im Mittel- und Hinterwald Sprachformen, die eine stärkere Verbindung mit der Region Hofsteig und Dornbirn belegen. Von außen wird aber der Wälderdialekt trotz dieser Mehrschichtigkeit und beachtlicher lokaler bis kleinregionaler Eigenheiten als ein Idiom („Wälderisch“) wahrgenommen, das sich von den anderen Vorarlberger Dialekten (ein einheitliches Vorarlbergisch gibt es nicht) deutlich hörbar abhebt.
Während alle bisher genannten Mundarten mittelalemannisch sind, wird in den hoch gelegenen Dörfern Damüls, Schröcken und Warth ein höchstalemannischer Dialekt gesprochen. Dies rührt daher, dass diese Orte im Hochmittelalter von Walsern besiedelt wurden, die aus dem Kanton Graubünden in das Gebiet des heutigen Vorarlbergs eingewandert sind.
Dokumentiert werden die Mundarten des Bregenzerwalds unter anderem im fünfbändigen Vorarlberger Sprachatlas mit Einschluss des Fürstentums Liechtenstein, Westtirols und des Allgäus (VALTS).
Die Bregenzerwaldbahn („’s Wälderbähnle“) ist eine weitere Attraktion des Bregenzerwaldes. Dabei handelt es sich um eine Museumsbahn, die auf einem noch erhaltenen Reststück der Schmalspurbahn verkehrt. Von 1902 bis 1983 befuhr das „Wälderbähnle“ die 35,5 km lange Strecke von Bregenz nach Bezau. Bis Oktober 2004 konnte man 6,1 km Strecke befahren, jedoch musste ein Teilstück dem Straßenausbau weichen, womit nur mehr eine Strecke von 5 km zur Verfügung steht.
Seit 2000 befindet sich in Hittisau im Bregenzerwald das bisher einzige Frauenmuseum Österreichs. Es widmet sich dem Kulturschaffen und dem Lebensumfeld von Frauen.
Ein weiteres Museum im Bregenzerwald ist das Angelika Kauffmann Museum in Schwarzenberg. Es widmet sich der Malerin Angelika Kauffmann und ist mit dem Österreichischen Museumsgütesiegel ausgezeichnet.
Ein beliebtes Ausflugsziel ist der Bregenzerwald auch wegen seiner Wander- und Radwege und der zahlreichen Skigebiete.
Die angeschlossenen Gemeindeämter geben von Mai bis Oktober eine für Gäste kostenlose Bregenzerwaldcard aus, um den öffentlichen Verkehr zu stärken und gleichzeitig den Individual- und Freizeitverkehr zu reduzieren.

I don’t belong to the HBM (Happy Bench Monday) group, but I’ll occasionally post a bench on Monday and a fence on Friday (HFF). BUT my question is.....’Is it truly about the bench or where the bench is setting?’

I started uni today. It was awesome! I love my classes and the atmosphere.
But I also found out Shepard Fairey may be going to jail for lying to the court about trying to get rid of evidence for the Obama hope poster. This is all going to sound very childlike and uninformed coming from me but having to go to jail for lying about using a photo? What a complete waste. He has a family, he inspires so many and does actual good to the world. But instead he's being potentially punished with a 6 month jail sentence. It really makes you wonder what the point of a lot of things is.
These letters are from a art project I did about 2 years ago inspired by Barbara Kruger. They felt about street art-ish so here's my photo for the day.

Well, some people have questioned whether I really have IRL vehicles. Well here ya go. Austin wanted a group Axis picture to take to his Boyscout troop this weekend, so he brought them all up to my room Friday night so that I could take a quick picture. Gotta love flashes and poster-board! :) I am short a Pzr III now because we donated it to the museum. :) The Aufklärer 38t is awaiting her skirts. :)

Soldiers are a mix of Uli's decals and my waterslides. My winter troopers are not in this pic. :)
Brickly's painted SS trooper is in the RSO.
I Would Keep It Clean
A year ago, Eric Raeber started a project where he asked children this question: ”If Earth was the size of a beach ball, what could you do to save our planet?” The children came up with incredibly creative ideas on how to improve the health of our planet, and together with Eric, they illustrated their visions with wonderful images.
Eric has challenged friends at G+ and FB to show us in a photo or a video how they would save our planet if it was the size of a beach ball (or any ball). Alternatively, they had the option of making a difference by planting a few trees at bit.ly/2kIf9V0 and help reach the goal of 100,000 trees by Earth Day. Stacy was one of the persons that got the challenge (you can see her image here: www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10210996065631395&set... ), and Stacy in turn has challenged me.
This is my entry thanks to the challenge from Stacy.
So now, I want to challenge JR McCurdie to show us in a photo or a video how he would save our planet if it was the size of a beach ball (or any ball).
Anyone can make a difference by planting trees at bit.ly/2kIf9V0 and help us reach the goal of 100'000 trees by Earth Day.

That's one of the first shots with a round about 50 years old Minolta Rokkor - PF 58mm/F1:1.4 adapted to a Panasonic Lumix G-70.
The HQ-mount-parts for this DIY-Adapter were "extracted" from vintage Vivitar- and modern Kenko-Extension-Rings that I had in my parphernalia. The ring for the correction of the differnt flange focal distances is a stack of several 3-D-printed parts.
As expected (obviously nothing's never ever easy) the maths to get the right measure for the right distance are not done by subtracting 19,25 mm (MFT-FFD) from 43,5 mm (MC-FFD) because with a spacing of 24,25 mm the lens is to far away from the focal plane to be focused to infinity.
After some fondling around with different shims I found out that right measure is somewhere at 23,6 mm (or so) what would be fine for practical use. But as it's not the "right" value it is a little bit unsatisfactory.
So if somebody out there knows the right measure or has a well working adapter and a caliper to find it out I really would appreciate it to be informed about the exact measure by that person!
(Mail-ordering an adapter and sending it back after stealing the measure would be severely unsportsmanlike.)

While waiting in line at McDonalds for our Mocha Frappas, I noticed the reflection of our car in the back hatch of the Jeep ahead of us. I've taken thousands of photos of cars at car shows and almost all of them have reflections to be dealt with one way or another. But I don't recall ever seeing one upside down like this. Maybe there's a simple explanation but I can't figure it out. Can someone tell me how this happens? Or is this just another strange 2020 thing?
I get a decent number of questions asking me what I shoot with, do I use X or Y or whatever... so to make it easier I recently just took a photo of what's in my camera case, and then dumped it out so folks could get an idea of what tools I use (admittedly some more than other's).
This is what I keep my camera gear in... if you want to see the contents dumped out see this photo where it's easier to see everything as in this photo there is a lot of stuff that is buried under something else.

Tech Details: If your curious how one takes a photograph of all of one's photo gear the answer is you borrow a friends camera from down the street (a Rebel XT/350D with a Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L lens).
Lighting provided by one White Lighting X1600 to camera right difused through a large softbox, with Westcott 42" Silver reflector to camera right to just bring in some fill light. A short roll of White Savage Seamless just hanging off the knuckle arm of an Avenger C-Stand (easier and quicker than getting out a big background stand). Triggered by a good ole-fashioned sync cable connected to a Nikon AS-15 on the hot shoe since the RebelXT/350D lacks a PC Sync connector.
