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.
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!
If any of you nature photographers ever capture images of insects with badly damaged wings, email them to Andrew Mountcastle at Bates College. He studies how insects crash into things and has made a public request (on Bluesky) for pics. He wants them for presentations and promises to add credits. Email via link. #insects #wings #photography #macrophotography #biomechanics bates.edu/faculty/profile/andr…
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.
Historical photo collector Hsu Chung-mao showcases photographs of Singapore at the cusp of great change, from a more rural environment with many kelongs and farms to a bustling trade, finance and tourism hub.
The art of finding joy in photography, and making other people happy in the process. Update from Nepal as we wind up the first stage of filming in Kathmandu.
We had an amazing morning. Cannot wait to share this little story in detail some day. For now, here's the culmination of our joy when Tashi got to photograph the hand of Kumari :)
I just made some changes to @libcamera to export focus/brightness controls and created a PoC app to work with it via @pipewire (wireplumber gobject api) in @vala_lang because why not? @postmarketOS

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.

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.
I'm always on the hunt for clothing featuring London Transport Moquette designs. The best place to source these are from the Transport museum. But there have also been dresses and jackets by other companies which unfortunately are not in stock anymore.
