This is nowhere near my best or most interesting work. But what this is, is proof on film that the flash sync on the 6x7 works with the remote trigger setup I cobbled together. So I can shoot some fast moving dance stuff on 6x7. I am big excited about that. #believeinfilm #leaf

I need to get over the practicality of my Pentax 17 and shoot some of my other gear. It’s just so easy to carry it’s hard to convince myself to hassle with anything bigger.

I was just explaining to a newer photographer how strobe photography works and he commented I should make videos about this kind of thing. I’m tempted, but YouTube is so horrible and I don’t know if I want to subject myself to that kind of a swamp.

My weekend project: I wanted a way to easily temporarily hang prints without pushpins or dancing the print So these order ticket rail things are perfect! About $30 at your local resturant supply store. These are 13x19 so it’ll hold big stuff just fine.

Story time! I worked at a motorcycle shop for a bit, we would hire a local artist to paint on the windows for whatever special we had going, or when a new model came in, or for big holidays. It was cheap, and different from our competitors. And she loved the work. Fuck Ai, hire an artist.

As part of helping a friend with an app thing I did some scanning on my RP tonight instead of the 5d mk4. This is easier, like a lot easier, it focuses faster, and autofocus is much more reliable. I might need to re-work my scanning setup to be full time mirrorless.

Photographers, if you aren’t printing your stuff, like physical prints, get on that. Don’t have a printer? Find a friend with one, we have to use them regularly anyway so they don’t get plugged up haha.

Ok, so, if you have decent film, and you do a good job in the process, and you do a good job scanning, half frame will completely print at 13x19. Pentax 17, FP4 pushed to 400, yellow filter, scanned on a 5d mk4, printed on a canon pro-100 on canon luster paper.

"A bunch of people would rather post on Race War Now Dot Swastika rather than Bluesky because you keep making fun of their imaginary computer friend" is a RESOUNDING endorsement for the concept of hostility.
Part of a thread from some bluecheck:
Multiple people I know have told me that they love the idea of Bluesky, and want it to succeed, but have abandoned it for X because the use agentic tools in their work and find them incredibly useful, and feel that any mention of their usage here leads to hate and ridicule.

I wouldn't bring this up if it was just one person, but it was multiple people since the beginning of August who mentioned in passing something to the effect of either "I'd spend more time on Bluesky if people weren't so anti-AI" *or* "As much as I hate to be there all the useful AI talk is on X."

I'm not saying it's anyone's responsibility to praise AI usage. I agree with much of the criticism of the tool. But for many, many people, it is a useful tech (I have talked about the ways I find it extraordinarily useful, only to have people here mock me, insisting my lived experience is a lie).

I am just noting that for all the people here who say that people should get off X and spend more time here, the reason I keep hearing from people in various circles who would *like* to do that, but don't, is the vociferous belief of many here that there are no possible positive uses of AI.

I have one more trip planned for my memorials series and then I think it’s maybe time to print this thing and move on. Ive been shooting it for over 20 years, maybe time for a new project.
