Alex Pardoe @digitalpardoe.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I don't have a problem buying cameras but… you can get a Panasonic S9 and 18-40mm lens direct from Panasonic for £750 at the moment if you're willing to have it in silver and can find a discount code to combine with the £200 cashback.store.eu.panasonic.comstore.eu.panasonic.com 010

Alex Pardoe @digitalpardoe.bsky.social · 30/09/2026A lot of the AI stuff in Lightroom has been genuinely quite useful, things like AI masking and noise reduction, this might be taking things a little too far though.helpx.adobe.comEdit photos using promptsLearn how to make complex edits, such as restoring, retouching, or transforming photos, using example prompts or by customizing prompts. 001
Alex Pardoe @digitalpardoe.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It doesn't look like the cloud is clearing this morning so here's one from the other day proving that the iPhone telephoto lens is still the best lens. #Photography #Trees #ShotOniPhone #Landscape #LeicaLUX 0142
Reposted by Alex PardoeTressie McMillan Cottom @tressiemcphd.bsky.social · 28/09/2026In practice, AI literacy doesn’t start with building the tool for your personal use. It starts with understanding yourself as a collection of tasks who should subcontract those out to a machine. Almost no regular person’s life currently exists as such. 9833211
Alex Pardoe @digitalpardoe.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I'll be the first to admit that upgrading from a 17 Pro to an 18 Pro is a waste, but after over a week of settling in, the additional battery life is no joke. This thing just keeps on trucking. 020
Reposted by Alex PardoeLloyd Lane @lloydlane.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Starlings over the Helter Skelter, Brighton. 1000s arrive here every winter from as far as Scandinavia & somehow they move as one in a murmuration. Each bird is only reacting to its 7 closest neighbours, a phenomenon known as phase transition, yet the whole group ripples like a single living thing. 0266
Alex Pardoe @digitalpardoe.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Sometimes, when talking to someone who is completely AI-chatbot-brained, I get this feeling that they're telling me things assuming I already know the context or can "compute" it somehow like their chatbot does - it's like there's a weird transition towards a context-sparse communication style. 010

Alex Pardoe @digitalpardoe.bsky.social · 24/09/2026No AirPods today, so I only have my own thoughts for company, not the thoughts of 1–3 white, male, middle-aged tech podcasters. It might be better this way. 011
Alex Pardoe @digitalpardoe.bsky.social · 24/09/2026The AI labs can steal all the photos they want for training data, but they'll never be able to recreate the goosebumps that the photographer felt photographing a sunrise on the first cold morning of autumn. 110
Alex Pardoe @digitalpardoe.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I think there are two types of creator in the world - those that enjoy the process of creating and those that enjoy having created something (and a spectrum in between). Both react to AI in very different ways - for one it takes away the thing they enjoy and for the other it supercharges it. 000

Alex Pardoe @digitalpardoe.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Back on Leica LUX, the "pro" controls in Apple's camera app still have a pretty crap UX compared to the alternatives. I don't think camera app developers have much to worry about. 000

Alex Pardoe @digitalpardoe.bsky.social · 21/09/2026There doesn't seem to be any way to get the new "pro" camera app on the iPhone 18 Pro to persist the white balance setting 🤦🏻♂️. 000

Alex Pardoe @digitalpardoe.bsky.social · 11/09/2026The iPhone 18 Pro TechWoven case (left) is definitely darker and softer than the 17 Pro one and the camera cutout is the same size, just fractionally deeper - the 17 Pro fits in the 18 Pro case just fine though. 110
Alex Pardoe @digitalpardoe.bsky.social · 11/09/2026With the rumours of an "all glass" iPhone next year, I wonder if the new side-aligned UI on the Duo is a preview of things to come. I imagine it's a pretty useful layout for dealing with accidental input rejection on something that has a wider screen and maybe doesn't have a bezel. 000
