Photog stuff

    Summer in a plate, in a summer day that’s anything but that…

    Darktable, the open source photo developer I use (and built film emulation presets), has two releases per year. You can almost adjust your calendar on it, because it’s around each solstice. And because we just hit Summer solstice there’s a new release out there.

    How often you miss your exit station because you were taking a photo? Just happened to me, again…

    A good friday is when something planned to arrive late next week knocks on your door!

    I love receiving packages earlier than expected, but when they say the expected delivery date is a week from now I’m not expecting to receive a text message saying it will be delivered today. At some point throughout the day…

    Ride back home…

    More and more I hate flying! Not that I’m afraid of flying, actually the time in the airplane is the eye of the storm of this thing called “air travel after the pandemic” (not that before was great), which starts the time you try to book the flights. Yes, prices are sky high; yes, now every kind of luggage is paid separately; yes, the price of that is also sky high… But every time you trick to book something you seem to find a new trick up their sleeve, the most recent for me is some companies somehow finding a way to charge more for cabin luggage than checked luggage. Yup, you read it right, more expensive to bring the luggage with you in the cabin…

    Just realized the web version of Instagram Threads now does columns. I like that a lot, mostly because I tend to follow photographers there. If we can’t have a wide layout, to see photos in all its glory, at least have multiple column to see more of those.

    Todas as vezes que vejo imagens do Abascal e o Ventura juntos, um está completamente star-struck e o outro com o ar “se o mundo fosse justo vocês tinham tido o mesmo destino da Catalunha”. Todas as vezes…

    Still in the aftermath of Gustavo Minas workshop last weekend, one thing I really enjoy watching the outcome of when several photographers share the same limited space. It was already Sunday’s late afternoon and we were gathering for a beer before, everything was over, literally just chilling out before heading home. But all of us, as the light went down, eventually started taking some shots while chatting with the beer in the hand. Including me.

    And throughout the week, as people started sharing these late shots with everyone else, it felt nice to check all those different views of several photographers, at the same spot, at the same time.

    Há dúvidas ambientais, de migrações de aves de aquíferos, nada pode parar o progresso! Mas passar por cima dos senhores ricalhaços que querem ir andar de cavalo para a quinta, se calhar temos de pensar melhor.

    For you Fujifilm users out there: how many times have you opened Twitter on your mobile phone, when what you really wanted was to pull a photo from your camera?… And vice versa…

    O problema não é apenas pessoas que não leram um livro. Eu posso ter doutoramento em Física Quântica, mas isso não me dá autoridade para falar de Biologia. Mas muita da “verdade alternativa” hoje em dia vem daí.
