A few more from Friday night on the river (Only one more set left to edit) 📷 Pentax K3 mkiii monochrome
Combo of movement, darkness and wanting to get the splash, missed on a few technical counts but I like itAt the release big puddle of white water boat moving and low light conditionsStroke seat splashing 6 seat earlier in practice. Powerful catch biased the frame with more of the oily water in the foreground than the trees in the background, because I like the water

And now the editing begins... Sometimes I wish it was all super quick and easy, but then I know my process has deliberate choices made for each photo, one at a time. It's gonna take a while but I'm ok with that, feels worth it to be intentional with each one, even if there are more than a few

6hrs of sleep is enough to get up and do it all over again? Right? At least now I won't be photographing as the light is fading.

For the most part, driving is super inefficient but at least it's really expensive and also quite dangerous.

There was a moment when I thought it would keep building into one of those spectacular mornings. But this little tease was it, within minutes the color faded... Just a brief nothing moment... Grateful to be present to see it...

A collection of photographs from the same location in colour and B&W, taken as I tried to reconnect with what I enjoy about film photography. A longish blog... I hope you enjoy. 🥰 #FilmIsNotDead #BelieveInFilm fatherhilarious.blog/2026/09/ligh...

Over the course of a few days on Spiritual Retreat, I used a roll of Rollei IR film, and a roll of Kodak Ultramax trying to find film photography inspiration in a familiar place.

Similar problems but def better. Was widely used as a low pressure tubeless tape early on. I suddenly used the thick clear stuff as base tape on the 50mm 29+ rims (before going to carbon, but that only saw 12-15 psi.

Full disclosure, just raised the 'uncropped' is somewhat cropped vertically to match the aspect ratio of the other two but... Most of the change from 3:2 is overage on the top, the sky specifically. Forgive the unintentional oversight

Oof, there's so many better, positive ways you could convert that point. That's solidly somewhere between cringe and facepalm

It's soft and very flexible and tubes will press through the valve holes, the adhesive also migrates. Electrical tape might just help keep the room clean but also won't do what rim tape needs to do, hold shape over valve holes and not move.

GeWilli @gewilli.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Sidebar: duct tape (even 2 layers) as rim tape... Has a few significant drawbacks, esp over time.

And that's tho near, there's a few who did the turtleneck, the popped collar short sleeve polo over that and then a full button down Oxford over that. Not to mention likely also having a sweater draped over the shoulders or around the waist. Ok, upon reflection, this 'style' needs to stay there

A month in four photos. September 2026. #FourPhotosOneMonth 1. bus stop - troon 2. scape - calpe 3. pocket - greenock 4. stairs - valencia
High contrast black and white photograph centered on a glowing glass bus shelter standing along a quiet suburban road. Bright light illuminates the interior glass panes of the shelter, revealing faint graffiti and bus schedule postings framed by dark structural guidelines. The surrounding environment, including lowrise residential houses and surrounding trees in the background, as well as three wooden bollards in the grassy foreground is cast in deep shadow and silhouetted against a clear sky. The scene carries a stark, quiet, and moody atmospheric tone.  A high contrast black and white photograph framing a dramatic coastal scene in a square format. On the left side, a massive, sheer rock cliff face towers vertically with detailed, craggy stone textures. Rocky boulders occupy the foreground below. To the right, calm open water stretches toward a bright horizon where sunlight pierces through heavy, dark rain clouds overhead, casting subtle light rays onto the sea surface. A single small boat is silhouetted on the water in the distance, emphasizing the vast scale of the seascape. The image carries a dramatic, moody, and serene atmosphere.A high contrast black and white photograph in a square format focusing on the metal spiral of a corkscrew, positioned vertically in the center of the frame against a dark, seamless background. Soft, directional side lighting catches the curved metallic edges, creating bright linear highlights along the top of each coil while casting the undersides and body in deep shadow. The minimalist composition emphasizes shape, metallic luster, and dramatic tonal contrast.High contrast black and white street photograph featuring wide outdoor stone stairs rising diagonally across the frame under a clear sky. On the left, a silhouetted figure in dark clothing walks near the top of the flight. On the right, a person in a patterned summer dress walks down along a bright white concrete retaining wall topped with a stone section and metal handrail. Deep geometric shadows obscure the bottom foreground steps, emphasizing strong diagonal lines, sharp light, and urban architectural structure.

Now I want to do this... Was a lot easier on the 80's when nothing was slim fit but I might just have a few combos in my closet that work work 🤔

Yeah - it is tough. Genetics really determine your cholesterol baseline, and higher across the board just may mean that is your normal and it is safe an your body is just shuttling more cellular repair stuff around. I'm sorry you're dealing with all this - best of luck

Pretty sure you've covered this with the people who care about FF vs those who don't 😁😉

GeWilli @gewilli.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
in theory butter is better - butter doesn't lower your HDL levels (supposedly) but margarine does. That said the whole cholesterol thing is crazy and I don't thing it is still very well understood (reference my brother, a 40 year vegan w/same cholesterol numbers as me the sat fat meat eater)

Right, sorry, you did point out pixel pitch but on first read I felt like it was missing/under emphasized on that specific detail - and that's on me. I suppose it is more common now to have the same pixel pitch everywhere due to processing and data management than it used to be.

Margarine is famous for being the biggest trans-fat product around. AKA partially hydrogenated oils. Makes them shelf stable and mostly solid at room temp. But generally considered very bad for your health (esp if the goal is to manage your HDL/LDL balance)

SNR (sensitivity/DR) goes up with larger sizes of the wells on the CCD/CMOS, more photons per pixel/time. But yes - smaller wells can give you more resolution but at a cost to sensitivity. Given equal sensor design.

They USED to, pre-Amazon. I think their standards are probably slipping along with the rest of the industry TBH. But yes they still likely have slightly higher standards but still sell lots of avocado oil and the sugar that's more processed than HFCS (agave)

yeah - see my note about international olive oil regulations and grading (it was a deliberate inclusion)
