I was hiking in the above area when I fell and this happened:



The camera uses touchscreen controls and every time I turn it on the internal layers of the screen are more and more broken down. Also, I don't have a separate viewfinder so that's my only way to do composition, check color info, etc.

Still, I had my iPhone and my OMD camera body so not all was lost. I really miss my Pen, tho. OMD bodies are larger, heavier and less low key. No joke, later that day shooting with my OMD people approached me twice asking for professional portraits out in the woods. I know little about portrait photography. I also don't know how to work with randoms to get them to cooperate with what I do know about photographing people. So yeah, I am really wanting my safety blanket nice low key Pen that reads 'quirky enthusiast' rather than 'srs photographer'. Eh, I could likely with them if I tried harder. There is just something about being approached by random strangers asking for portraits and then refusing to do what they need to do for the results they want that saps my patience.

Someday I need to make a gallery of shots I only got because I was shooting Pen.

Back to the park. I hiked around Cranberry Lake, Goose Rock to the summit, along North Beach, Pass Island and around Bowman Bay. I did a lot for taking it really slowly.
