Powerlines in #Kitakyushu, #Japan. Another pic taken during my year abroad in 2016. I don't usually use #blackandwhite but this is one of the rare cases where it just worked so well. #photography #photooftheday #photographersonbluesky #photographersofbluesky
From a week long trip to #Kitakyushu, #Japan in January. Outside of #Kokura Station looking towards the covered shopping area. Would have been better if the #McDonalds arch was fully visible! #photography #photooftheday #photographersofbluesky #travel #trip #canon

Bike #trip down in #Kitakyushu, #Japan. It's cases like this that make smartphones great for doing some #photography on the go! I don't like #cycling with my regular camera on my back! ##photographersofbluesky #iphone #proraw #travel

Show & Tell: 1973 #Nikon 55mm Micro-Nikkor f/3.5 P.C. Auto. This thing can go to 1:1 scale with the M2 extension ring and is ridiculously sharp. This is a photo of an #iPod Mini motherboard taken with my #Canon R5 + 100% crop. #photography #photooftheday #photographersofbluesky #apple #vintage

I'm adding #productphotography to my portfolio for potential jobs in the future. I'm using a 1973 #Nikon 55mm f/3.5 Micro #Nikkor #macro (1:1 with M2 extension tube) and it's turning out really great. These are #Kailh Choc v2 switches. #photography #photooftheday #photographersofbluesky

On top of Kurobe Dam in #Toyama, #Japan. It was cold up there and I must have been the only person who didn't pack a jacket. #photography #photographersofbluesky #photooftheday #travel #canon

We trespassed into our abandoned secondary/high school (North Leamington #School). This used to be one of my English classrooms, I remember watching The Truman Show and using an #iPod in here. Bonus: my friend at the door. #history #廃墟 #photography #photographersofbluesky #urbex #leamingtonspa

We trespassed into our abandoned secondary/high school (North Leamington #School). It has been torn down now for housing. This was one of the main buildings, the other had already been destroyed. RIP, gross toilets. #history #廃墟 #photography #photographersofbluesky #urbex #leamingtonspa

If you edit #iPhone photos in #Lightroom you may have noticed even in #ProRaw the experience isn't great but if you decrease the slider for the Apple ProRaw profile you can get MUCH better starting points. In order: ProRaw 100, ProRaw 0 (good base), final edit #photography ##photographersofbluesky

Dec 2022: Went on a #cycling trip to #Kitakyushu and had a great time, I did take my camera but used my iPhone when on bike rides and spent some time testing out ProRAW. It was a great time, minus a flat tire & some nasty hills. #travel #photography #photographersonbluesky #photographersofbluesky

#Kokura castle in #Kitakyushu, #Japan. There wasn't much colour so I made it #blackandwhite. A photo I took while down there for #travel in 2022. #photography #photographersonbluesky #photographersofbluesky

This was taken in #Shinjuku, #Japan, using a 3 megapixel #Canon D30 from 2000. Canon's first homegrown #DSLR using a CMOS sensor! What's interesting is it's an APS-C model but only accepts full frame EF lenses, no EF-S support. #photography #photographersonbluesky #photographersofbluesky

Outside the 7/11 that was my haunt in #Kitakyushu, #Japan. I think I took this one on an #Olympus 35 SP. I do not have good luck with #film cameras because the last 3 I bought all died within a year for various reasons... 🎞️ #photography #35mm #photographersonbluesky #photographersofbluesky
