Passing form variable to a partial template - Rails 4

I have an edit page that uses a semantic_form_for tag

<%= semantic_form_for @photog do |f| %>

The form is getting quite long and I would like to break it up into sections so that the view is more readable.

I am trying to create partials within the edit.html.erb template such as

  <%= render 'favorite_things', locals: {f: f} %>

This code breaks saying undefined local variable or method `f' for #<#:0x007ff5a110abf0>

I need to understand how to pass the f object so that the partial can read it and things like f.input work

 <!-- favorite things partial -->
 <div class='edit_photog_header'>A List Of Your Favorites</div>
 <%= f.input :fav_lens, :label => "Lens" %>
 <%= f.input :fav_camera, :label => "Camera" %>
 [and so on]

Thanks

locals is for when you're using render partial.

<%= render partial: path_to_partial, locals: locals_hash %>

If you're just using render, you should do this:

<%= render path_to_view, locals_hash %>

Which in your case would be:

<%= render 'favorite_things', f: f %>
