Just a $250/300 Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro. It has a good camera but nothing special. Think I just got lucky.

I have an old Cannon DSLR but never use it, thought about buying some of the newer more compact digital ones but I probably wouldn't use them either so would be a waste.

I love a good pic but very rarely take anything of note. As the saying goes the best camera is the one you have with you.

That shot is just a zoomed in crop of this one. There you go now - all my skills laid bare and shown up as the photography fraud I am. I was trying not to slip down into the icy steam behind me as I was taking it.

The cameras on phones these days are pretty dam good, but the skill is in the framing. You have a good eye. I used to be a serious hobbyist, but life caught up. Any enjoyed the photos.

So I got 4 of the wee rear speakers. Turns out they are a bit smaller than the OEM ones. So I made a pair of boxes. I do prefer the sound of an enclosed speaker anyway, and my make shift way of mounting the oem ones was bothering me.

The sound these things produce is MUCH better than the OEM speakers I had. IDK if its the box or just that they are new, but its much crisper and cleaner sound quality.

Just for the pleasure of it

Yardwork, check. Honey do list, check. Top down trip up the mountain, check. 92 in the valley, 70 at the ski-lift.
