The Charlotte–Genesee Lighthouse in Rochester, New York. #3dsphotography #lighthouse #newyork

The Charlotte–Genesee Lighthouse in Rochester, New York. This photo was taken from the lawn facing the "house" part of the lighthouse on a mostly-clear day, with bright sunlight overhead.

A simple white well at the edge of a grassy yard in the shade of trees and undergrowth.

A tall, full tree with dark leaves in beams of sunlight. Visible below and behind the tree are a set of flag poles flying several historic US flags, a union jack, and the Canadian Flag.

:) Gets #Immich up and running. :( Doesn't support MPOs. :) There's already a feature request from another 3DS user. :( It's closed. :) Because it's part of a pull request. :D It's merged pull request. Great time to hop on Immich I guess! Just gotta wait a little for the next release.

I got this #DisposableCamera at a youth group thing forever ago. Every now and then I'd re-find it and take a photo or two. 9 years past the "develop by" date, I finally filled it up and Walmart still accepted it. Some actually turned out kinda alright. These two […] [Original post on toot.cafe]

A photo that had issues during development. It was a photo of a dining room (the window and a hutch are still visible) but it's now mostly a large splotch of mint-green over purple-blue.

A photo that had issues during development. I have no idea what this photo was of originally, but now it's a mess of purple-ish pink, and a soft green glow on the right.

#AskFedi #programming I've been trying to figure out local LLM stuff since it seems employers are looking for AI-capable people and I should at least see what's up, but I really don't trust cloud models. Anyone have good success with local #AI #Ollama models for #code (#Zed) for a 12GB GPU? […]

I remember seeing a while ago some article where a Google camera software person got a standard phone camera to capture extra high-resolution images by quickly taking many photos in a row and used the tiny differences between them like "samples" similar to how some […] [Original post on toot.cafe]

Low resolution photo of the moon through some trees after sunset. The sky is a deep dark blue, and the trees are almost black. The moon is a soft, bright white blob through some branches near the center of the image.

My sister asked me what I take pictures of and my reply was "I don't know. Shapes? Mostly ceilings, hallways, and, like, trashcans and stuff." Then we passed by this #trashcan and I had to prove my point. #3DSPhotography #photography #shapes? #trashcans

Photo of a tall metal table and a brown boxy trashcan outdoors. They're on a wide brown path, and right behind them is a simple metal fence with some lush green plants behind it. Beyond them is a small lake. The far side of the lake has some buildings and more greenery. To the left, slightly overhanging the lake is a restaurant with big open windows.

Here's a fun fact: the #3DS seems to not share settings between the cameras when it takes pictures. So for any shot, each camera might choose slightly different settings. Here's a somewhat extreme example where the cameras disagreed on (I think) #whitebalance #3dsphotography #cameras

An image of a wide empty hallway, with dim lights, dark wood walls, doors on the back right, and a white trash can on the left.
This is the same subject as in the next image, but everything is shifted to the left.
This image has a cool blueish-red look.

I'm probably doing damage to the cameras or something, but I can't help grabbing these lens flares when they show up. #3DSphotography #photography #lensflare

Photo of the sun peaking behind a tall square brick-and-glass building. The sun is directly visible to the camera and blasts the image with brilliant beams of warm-white and rainbows. The flare also created a ghostly blue oval and a small bright dot on the opposite side of the sun.

Cloudy nights make the beacon look like some futuristic spaceship shooting into space. #photography #nightphotography #light #gimp

Photo of a distant bright teal-blue beam of light shooting into a cloudy sky. Where it meets the clouds, the beam gains a blue halo. It kinda looks like a futuristic spaceship rocketing into space leaving a trail behind it. Some pointy tree silhouettes line the lowest part on the image.

I had some apple cider about a week ago and had an idea.

Photo of a saucepan on a cooktop. There is coca-cola in the pan. A thermometer says the cola is 128°F.

I feel like venting about Google's #AndroidXR showcase and how so much of it felt like it was about #AI instead of new #XR stuff. But it's been almost 50 minutes since I started drafting this toot so I'm going to sleep instead. 2 things though: - Trackpad built into the external compute puck […]

Didn't realize until today that the #3DS, when it records video, the video's aspect ratio isn't 16:9, nor 4:3, but a wild 2:1 at 480×240. It's probably because the camera app lets you adjust the 3D effect, which means the source has to be wider than the actual display for there to be room to […]

Been a while since I did a thing in #Blender.

A digital render of a dense field of stars. The stars are mostly orange with some white, red, and yellow stars. Two beams of orange light shoot across the top of the frame pointing into a star in the top right.

Someone on the Steam subreddit was asking for Valve to make a #SteamOS phone (seeing how the new VR headset is Arm but also playes x86 steam games). And I thought "Hey, I've already got #PostmarketOS on a phone. We know Valve is using some 'FEX' library. How hard […] [Original post on toot.cafe]

One more batch from the woods. No 3DS this time. I wanted to capture some detail this time. #photography #woods #nightphotography

A dead tree that has been bent and shredded into a strange shape. It kinda looks like a jagged hybrid between a seven and a backwards six. The dead tree is in a small woods. The other trees have almost lost all of their leaves.

3 tree trunks in the woods. The nearest take up the left half of the image and has a large A and an arrow stenciled onto it with bright red spray paint. The arrow points to a further tree that also has a bright red A. The first tree and a third tree on the right frame the far tree.

Photo of a radio tower at sunset as seen through a long clearing in the woods. The tower has large red and white stripes, and has two bright red lights, one at the top and one in the middle. Simple wood power poles traval through the clearing towards the tower. The clearing frames the tower with tall somewhat-leafy trees.

The moon as seen through the tops of some thin trees on a hazy night. The haze causes the moon to glow brightly. A glare makes the right side of the glow slightly red. A small red light can be seen at the bottom of the image between the trees.
