Photog stuff
It’s great that Nikon is open to vintage inspired cameras, but what would be even better would be lenses, and I’m not even talking about vintage look. A new take on AF-D lenses for Z mount!
One of my questions for my new photo website is whether having comments or not. A static website (how I chose to build it) will always require an external solution, I don’t think a paid service makes sense and free solutions (like Disqus) are a privacy nightmare. Probably I’ll go without it.
Almost there 😊
The slow moments at back at Annapurna, which kind of fit in today’s rainy day.
I have a little page where I post the stuff that caught my eye (https://tirelesseye.tumblr.com/), a simple little curation of what inspires me. This used to be almost exclusively Instagram, but a funny trend has been happening: there are more and more items from Flickr.
Getting something new almost out there 😉
The same story that has happened over and over again in Lisbon: a real estate fund bought the building, likely to be become another hotel, and the store will likely be part of its lifeless lobby.
There are some news related with my presets for Darktable (or styles, I never know what to call those…).
TLDR: it’s a new site and I moved things around in Github, but please take a look nevertheless, and share your feedback you want to!
I was fortunate to follow Maria’s project from afar, in exhibits or talks, and every time I felt touched by it. Seeing it awarded in World Press Photo truly makes me happy. Congratulations!
People walking around in airport lounges with neck pillows is a bit silly, but ok, I do get it. People walking around with those downtown is just stupid. Even if you came from the airport.
When you have to stop to enjoy the view. Flashbacks from Huemul and the Southern Patagonian ice field.
Fact: I really want a Fuji GFX100RF! Still… That aspect ratio dial feels like a gimmick.
Josef Koudelka, in the presentation of the GFX100RF, sharing some bits of wisdom between all the marketing stuff: the secret to good photography is good shoes!
Wow, the new Fuji GFX100RF is really small!
Hoje o carteiro não trouxe só continhas para pagar! A KioskZine com o “Heaven” do António Pedrosa.
Suddenly everyone decided to start selling lenses from disposable cameras packaged for mirorless cameras?
Há exatamente cinco anos o Miguel A. Lopes lançava o desafio num grupo de WhatsApp, com dezenas e dezenas de fotógrafos, e esta foto do Gonçalo Borges Dias abria o EverydayCovid. Passado uns dias começavam as sessões de Zoom diárias para ir escolhendo o material que chegava (juntamente com o Ângelo Lucas, André Dias Nobre, Gonçalo Delgado, Rui Miguel Pedrosa e Rui Soares), depois o livro, as exposições e por aí fora. Muita coisa feita por imensa gente talentosa. Parece que foi ontem, mas ao mesmo tempo noutra vida.
A Madalena Boto mais uma vez a fazer a fazer magia, agora a documentar vida selvagem em plena Lisboa.
…passa na RTP em breve!
Elevator selfie, just because…
Regarding Foto, and other social networks.
Foto is cool and clean, all that we wanted Instagram to be, but the issue is, in many ways, is just like all the others: it’s privately owned, centralized, closed, probably will be monetized at some point, and, as much as its founders are well intended, its roadmap will be decided by a handful of people. At some point, by the shareholders. Musk is right at one thing: these services are becoming the global, digital public square. And that’s why they need to evolve into something that’s open, decentralized and based on standards. And Foto doesn’t seem to be any of that.
