I went to the cat cafe in Manchester the other day and took my camera along - I ended up with around 700 photos that I then cut down to around 70, picking 4 favourites for this post wasn’t easy! It was a nice way to get to use my 16mm lens. #Photography #Cat #CatCafe

He has an appetite so big that he's trying to take the entire feeder #Bird #Magpie

Interesting that all the other birds that visit just eat from the feeder but this great tit prefers to take one worm then hold it in it's talons as it eats #Bird #GreatTit

These birds are getting very good at looking wistful as if they didn't chuck half the seed mix on the ground looking for their favourite bits. #bird #magpie

They're like children picking out the best parts in the cereal and not eating the rest of it. #Bird #HouseSparrow

'Okay now that I've looked into the camera all sad like, we swap places and you do the same' I am feeding them, please don't fall for their lies #Bird #HouseSparrow

Here's a time-lapse I made with the other pictures i took over 3 hours

Gregory Slobodian @gregoryslobodian.com · 13/08/2026

Not fantastic shots, but out of the 3 hours I spent capturing 30s exposures I saw 3 meteors in the #PerseidsMeteorShower (the little streaks) - unfortunately living in a city doesn’t help with light pollution. I used the other photos to make a GIF ill put in the comments. #Photography #Perseid

Got some shots of the #Eclipse that happened today. I was very lucky to get my hands on a solar filter for my camera yesterday too so I'm glad they came out pretty well. The UK didn’t get complete totality but the last image shows the maximum coverage we got. #Photography #Art #SolarEclipse

Great game though, I'll probably keep playing to see how far I can get in endless mode

Finally got all the outfits in #SplatoonRaiders yup, done everything :)

Gregory Slobodian @gregoryslobodian.com · 01/08/2026

I got @whimsycherry.bsky.social to draw the fat fuck from splatoon raiders (definitely because she opened commissions and not because i can secretly learn from her drawings to inspire and improve my own) Make sure to give them a follow for more fantastic art #art #SplatoonRaiders

I bought my mum a camera bird feeder for her birthday a few weeks ago and started to learn what birds tend to frequent our garden - I managed to get some shots of them with my own camera from a distance. Some small house sparrows and a magpie that’s a regular. #Photography #Art #Bird

Tonight’s moon - Still a little fuzzy here and there, but my new camera gear certainly takes better photos than what I was using prior to capture the moon. Shot on the EOS R6 MkII and the RF 100-400mm #Photography #Art #Moon

I upgraded my camera body to the EOS R6 MkII and my zoom lens to the RF 100-400mm F5.6-8 - I'm having fun with it so far - I look forward to taking it out and about with me. These were just taken in my garden #Photography #Art #Butterfly

Some Gentoo #Penguins I saw last week in Birmingham, I’m glad they’re going to get a bigger enclosure soon too. I'm also looking forward to being able to get a new camera body soon as I was struggling to take some of these pictures in the low light of the aquarium

The brilliant @whimsycherry.bsky.social drew my favourite mario kart character for me. I love the pose and how dynamic everything is! (I'll definitely be throwing this in with my other art references) Make sure to give them a follow for more fantastic art #MarioKartWorld #Penguin #art

Bought a lino print set and decided to create a stamp of a rockhopper relaxing. There's certainly a learning curve but I think the time I've spent whittling helped. #art #penguin #PenguinDay #LinoPrint

@landfall.se @aggrocrabgames.bsky.social so when are we getting the scarily deformed human shaped bing bong in fortnite? Clearly this ingame concert was a proof of concept he can be stretched to fit the dimentions of a fortnite skin, no? #Peak

Another coloured pencil drawing, this time of my favourite character on my favourite machine - Dedede on the wheelie scooter. I used all 12 pencils this time and figuring out how to blend certain colours was a good exercise. #Art #Kirby #Dedede #KirbyAirRiders
