Happy #WorldPhotographyDay !

This is one of my favourite images from last autumn in Scotland's Ancient Caledonian Forest. In the dark of morning, I hiked up this pathless steep sided hill to gain a view over the magnificent glen beyond and was treated to an exceptional sunrise. Amazing to see all these regenerating pine saplings growing on the higher slopes.

Hey #believeinfilm friends,

Leica has had a rough weekend on Threads after an attempt to romanticize their gear more than the community could handle.

It's pretty wild, and the story is still developing.

I wrote about it here: analog.cafe/comments/m8yj

#filmphotography #photography #leica


Commodity fetishism lands Leica in hot water on Threads.

The brand drew fire to its social media account of over 96 thousand followers today with a post that romanticized ownership of their gear more than their followers were willing to take: #editorial.

This monarch, a skipper, & some bumblebees were enjoying the zinnias Thursday. Seen monarchs around the garden nearly every day now. They seem to especially like the zinnias, the most abundant large flower in the garden right now.

#StormHour #butterflies #insects #nature #Photography #AltText

Photograph of a monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) standing atop a pink zinnia flower with out of focus flowers and green foliage in the foreground and in the background. The monarch is facing left in profile leaving only its left side visible and it has its proboscis inserted into one of the flower's orange-yellow florets. Monarch butterflies have orange wings with black and white patterned edges and black veining, black bodies and heads covered with white polka dots and fine black hairs, large black compound eyes, two long black antennae, and six black segmented legs.

Refocussing on the tiny lives living in my garden, here's a small sweat bee from a few days ago.

It's known as the common furrow bee or slender mining bee, the Gewöhnliche Schmalbiene in German (Lasioglossum calceatum).

A close up picture of a small bee on the pink and white flowers, against an out of focus green background. The bee has dark antennae and compound eyes, and its thorax is a darkish brown with lots of golden hairs. The legs are mostly black in the top half, yellow below. The abdomen is striped in a light brown and cream.

Trumpet vine gracing the porch. BTW, that's an earwig inside the lower left flower.
#Photography #SeattleWashington #SeattleSummer #BloomScrolling #OurGarden
A cluster of pale apricot colored trumpet vine flower buds are slowly opening. Two are fully opened, showing the five overlapping petals at the top of a long tube shape. The one on the lower left has an earwig sleeping inside. The flowers contrast nicely with the pinnate dark green leaves. The closed buds are long and slightly green, with a star shape outlining the petals at the top. It's interesting that the pistil and anthers are so closely held against the top to the trumpet, showing the flowers have evolved to allow hummingbirds and insects to forage deeply, catching pollen on their heads and bodies.

I recently sat down and recorded a podcast with @geoff_eg to talk all about the Fediverse - what it is, how photographers can use it, and how it is different than your typical social network experience. Those of you looking to explain it to others might enjoy the listen/watch:

Hey #believeInFilm friends,

Harman's new product "Blue" has been leaked on Google.

Software can be hard, but it can also be funny. (Let's not judge the folks who have to deal with it too harshly 😀

analog.cafe/comments/8ehc

#filmphotography #photography


Retailers are struggling (and failing) to keep Harman’s “Blue” release a secret.

Several online stores published the product photos, name, description, and price ahead of the launch date. I’ve been hearing about the leaks since Sunday, but even more shops seem to have mistakenly published all the details ahead of time.

Photo of the Creature Mastodon stuffed toy held up under a splash pad dumping bucket mid-dump and getting drenched with water during a bright, sunny day. The soaking-wet Creature is held up in the air by off-camera arms, its body facing right at the camera as a large yellow bucket pivots on its steel post and pours water onto it. The water splashes onto its head, deforming the Creature's plush body as it's met with over a gallon of water. Further behind the yellow bucket is a red bucket on a perpendicular post still filling with water.

The soaking-wet Creature is held up in the air by off-camera arms, its body facing right at the camera as a large yellow bucket pivots on its steel post and pours a gallon of water above its head. The water is messily scattering in the air, and the bottom of the pour has just begun to touch its head. Further behind the yellow bucket is a red bucket on a perpendicular post still filling with water.

The Sun Inside Cork’s Historic Cathedral

Step inside St Fin Barre’s Cathedral this week, and you’ll be greeted not just by the soaring Gothic arches and intricate stained-glass, but by a blazing sun right in the heart of Cork.

The spousal unit came home today and said, "I got you a toy!" and I was like, oh no, what kind of junk is he bringing home from the thrift store today (the last one being a keychain with a miniature version of my favourite instant noodle, which is thoughtful of him but, do I really need it?).

To my surprise, it's not really as junky as expected. It's a Widelux F7 panoramic camera with carrying case and a set of filters. It takes 35mm film.

Apparently, according to eBay sold listings, some people would pay a couple of thousand dollars for one of these. Huh. (The spousal unit got it for a steal, and yes, it works.)

Anyway, I've been a camera collector for years and I have hundreds of film cameras in my collection. This one is definitely one of the nicer (and very few) additions to the collection in recent years.

Someone has written an informative article about this camera, if you're interested in reading more about it: dancuny.com/camera-collecting-…

I enjoy several different types, styles, or kinds of cameras. When I started collecting cameras over 50 years ago, I was drawn to anything out of the ordinary.

For #MountainMonday I have one of my favourite mountains in the #FraserValley of #BritishColumbia - Silver Lake. Hope Mountain is often reflected in Silver Lake here, and makes for a nice spot to visit.

The still water of a lake reflect nearly perfectly a mountain peak on the other side of the lake, along with the green foliage and clearing clouds.

I wanted to get a picture of a puffin with the mountains in the background instead of the sea. Without a wide-angle lens, this was the best I could pull off lol. I'm still kind of proud of it, though.

I would never have seen this fellow if he hadn't moved. He's tiny and the color of the sand in this creekside sandbar.

#beetles #coleoptera #insects #InverteFest #Photography

We look down on a fuzzy little sand-colored scarab-shaped beetle on a background of sand. His large, coffee-colored antennae jut out and forward from his head, spreading into three paddles at their ends. The antennae remind us of reindeer antlers, and the whole fuzzy creature could be the insect analog of a shaggy reindeer.

From that one time I saw the most perfect window scene and felt obligated to capture it.

I was inside the capital building of Antigua #Guatemala and as I walked up the stairs I looked out the stairwell window to see this gorgeously framed flower pot. Someone had to have put it there on purpose! I particularly enjoy the effectively black canvas created by the dark interior behind.

#WindowFriday #feinsterfreitag #fineartphotography #artphotography #photography #fujifilm

A flower pot full of red rose like flowers sits perfectly centered within a window. The interior is perfectly black, while the window trim is a bright yellow with decorative tooling. The building is a classical mid century Spanish architecture so the walls are a white spacco. The tiled roof can be seen above with a sliver of blue sky showing.

Hey #believeinfilm friends,

Looks like film photography has been recognized as a cultural heritage in Germany and is on a path toward UNESCO recognition:

analog.cafe/comments/8x49

Do you think it should be listed as such, and what may this do for our craft?

#photography #filmphotography


Film photography is now recognized as a cultural heritage in Germany and is on the path to UNESCO listing.
