Ordered left-handed mouse

Ordered a Razer DeathAdder for Lefties. I had tried to find a computer/tech store that had the Logitech Trackman trackball but no one had one in stock. Actually, none of the stores had any left handed or ambidextrous devices at all.

What's going to be 'fun' is getting used to gaming with left hand mouse, and keyboard.

Macro Photography

Fresh Popcorn

Oh, I've been having fun!

Almost 6 yrs ago, when Wing got my the Lumix DMC-FZ30. I got some magnifying close up lens filters, to use for close up/macro photography. I got a Phoenix Macro Flash ring (more on this later) and started taking photos. Some of my favorite ones were close ups of my geode, beads and weaving, and and metal with beadwork..

Then I 'graduated' to a Canon. My problem was the Phoenix flash ring didn't fit on any of the Canon lenses, and I couldn't find adapters for the Phoenix flash ring. I did an inexpensive flash ring, but it gave me 'meh' results. Not bad, just not what I wanted.

So, last year, I got a Metz Flash ring. I could use it with my 7D because there was an onboard flash on the camera, but I couldn't use it with my 5D. So, after months of searching for a way to use it on my 5D without having to use an external flash, I went to Camera Electronic and explained the problem. They fabricated a flash sync cord for the 5D to use the Metz flash ring. And I have been having a blast rephotographing my zoisite, amethyst shaft, and rose quartz sphere.

I spotted our rose colored salt lamp, and after turning it around, got a great photo of it.



Next, I think I might try salt crystals, or sugar! :D

Slowly but surely..

Day two of using mouse left handed, and it still feels awkward. I'm sure I will get adept with practice, but I don't see me using it for my photo editing programs. That takes fine control. I have no idea how long it will take before I get to the point I can comfortably do fine edits. On the flip side of this awkwardness, I have found using graphics tablet/ stylus with my right hand in conjunction with using mouse with my left hand works.

Oh well, it's late and I can hear the siren call of a comfy bed with pillows.
