Photog stuff
So… The thing now on Instagram is spamming by bulk liking my comments, despite being years old, so I eventually click their OF page?… 🙄
Moon today comes with a black myst filter included.
Regardless not planning to shoot large format on film, I tend to watch LOTS of it, it’s some of the best photography related content on YouTube.
It has been a strange few days, with the Meta owned services slowly moving closer to become X. Another blunt reminder that we must move away from these centralized services, that depend on the whim of their owner, into something more open, more decentralized, more transparent and where the user owns its data. This is very uncomfortable and somehow painful, but means transitioning from X, Facebook, WhatsApp to Mastodon, BlueSky, Signal, etc.
While I’m still the “old social media”, and kind of active, I’ve been much more present in this more decentralized and privacy conscious side of the internet, and that’s a trend to continue in this weird near future. Except on Signal, because it’s complicated to move people away from WhatsApp, but there’s still hope to change that this year!
In my mind, and because I’m often out and about during this season, the new year only formally kicks off when I return home. So let’s get this going!
Waking up to rain pouring just above my head. I’ve had worst Sunday mornings.
A regressar de Trás-Os-Montes, mas confuso com uma bola de luz no céu que não sei bem o que é…
Here we go again! Driving for a good chunk of Christmas day, just to reach the many winter solstice traditions happening in this upper right corner of the country. And starting strong with probably one of the best: Ousilhão.
Quick thoughts on Darktable’s new camera specific styles: gives a really nice starting point for processing, and for me that’s awesome, as I don’t like to spend a lot of time on it. Even better, you can change those styles.
Antes da consoada.
Not the winter meal you’d be thinking of, but hey, blessed are the modern freezers.
The very, very last rays of light of winter solstice. To a new cycle ahead of us.
Firmware update for X-T5 released, with fixes on the AF issues. Just in time of going to photograph the Winter Solstice stuff. Fingers crossed…
Sábado fui até à Palavra de Viajante ouvir a Tânia Muxima falar do Upper Mustang, onde tenho uma enorme vontade de ir. Claro que não é a Tânia na foto, mas este ar do Bernardo Conde de quem vai conquistar o mundo pedia um disparo! Mas as fotos dela vão estar lá nas próximas semanas, e valem a pena!
Sunday is shopping day.
Me after hearing Tom Heaton saying “The tripod is the photographer’s best friend” on his latest video.
“I have all the gear I need!”
Said no photographer ever…
A aproveitar as horas calmas para ver as fotos.
Está oficialmente aberto o Exodus Aveiro Fest, com o tradicional bife com alho do Zico!
Geoguessr is going to remove the free tier next year. Nothing against it, but not likely to subscribe, because for me being able to only do 3 quizzes a day actually was a feature.
