This is Giant Fruit Bat, known as a “flying fox.” Their wingspan can extend to four feet.
Photographer Hardik Shelat captured the beautiful animal in a rare daytime appearance. It came out of its nocturnal slumber to cool off in the intense Indian heat.

Do you have any idea how many times I had to throw this fucking stuffed bear into the air, swing my camera up to my eye, and try to take the perfect picture of it as it fell?
THIRTY fucking times.
Photography is hard, people.
This past week, 99 years ago, Miles Dewey Davis III was born in Alton, Illinois.
On November 12, 1989, on 60 Minutes, Harry Reasoner asked him if Black musicians were better at jazz and blues because of slavery. The question could’ve gone sideways.
What Davis said—quietly, precisely—was about rhythm, memory, race, and the meaning of swing. #music #Jazz #Histodons #history #blackmastodon #photography #blackandwhite

It was a very busy weekend, but I still found a moment to enjoy some peaceful time in the woods 😊

Early in 2025, my new DSLR camera arrived. It’s a Pentax K-3 III and it’s outstanding. One of the features it has that improves over my earlier Pentax KP is a UHS-II high speed SDXC memory card slot.Allister Jenks (Podfeet Podcasts)

Flickr is restricting downloading your photos in "original or large sizes" starting May 15th if you have a FREE account there. Just in case you want to move your photos to a service that will let you have them back as you uploaded them.
Also a friendly reminder to #photography / #filmphotography hashtag browsers:
What you're seeing are generally the highlights of other people's shooting expeditions!
In other words, never get discouraged because you feel like "most" of your stuff isn't up to snuff! You have no idea how many shots line other creatives' garbage bins!
This is generally true of the #creative process in any medium, so keep at it!

Released last Friday, a digital reconstruction of the Titanic chronicles a never-before-seen view of the wreck that is “accurate to the rivet,” a statement says.

Going thru the stands at fosdem ran into immich.app as a photographier I was interested so asked a few questions :
- what's your biz model?
- none yet, but probably hosted services
- how do you compare to #flickr or #pixelfed?
- pixelwhat? We are providing a replacement photo - no direct answer for flickr
- do you support activitypub?
- actiwhat?
- do you run on any OS?
- of course we do, we provide docker images

I think I've never posted it, but I have assembled a small but mighty A/V kit that I'll bring to the Matrix FOSDEM Fringe event (that's on Friday 31, 13:00 CET at HSBXL!)
It's a ZV-E10 camera + 2 lenses, a pair of extra batteries, a pair of microphones, and a gray card.
Very compact but extremely useful to keep decent quality recordings of talks and to take portraits!
Good morning, friends of the #BSDCafe and the entire #Fediverse,
it's Wednesday, the day of the Sea. Let’s begin this new day by focusing on the beauty of nature, forgetting for a moment the problems of life and the world.
Because we are alive, now.

Confession #328 of a long-time royal watcher.
There's one thing I miss about the late Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh. His sharp tongue. For example, this is what the royal second fiddle said upon leaving a plane, when asked by a particularly unimaginative journalist what the flight was like:
"And how was your flight, sir?"
"Have you ever been on an aeroplane?"
"Yes."
"Well, it was like that."
Anyway, here's a picture taken out a plane window in 2012, using the Retro Phone app on an HTC Sensation... a phone possesing a battery life so short it would die faster than a cordless Magic Wand.
