Here’s the original which hasn’t been stupidly edited with rewording and colorization.

“Time”

#Photography #Macro #MacroPhotography #EastCoastKin
A closeup of a well-worn mid-century women’s Timex wristwatch. It has an off-white face with art deco-style numerals, domed crystal, a brass case, and a brown leather strap. It is softly lit upon a teal tapestry with blue and black stripes.

Whenever people call out AI slop, the posts are relegated to “show more replies.” #Bluesky needs to allow users to inform the public of fake images without burying them from view.

Yep. And all the people calling this out are hidden under “Show more replies.” 🤬

Last Leaves 🍁

#Photography #EastCoastKin
Some of the last red leaves of fall in the Poconos Mountains in Pennsylvania adorn a mostly naked tree. Warm afternoon tones make up the image.

A derelict dilapidated industrial building in Jean Lafitte, Louisiana stands by the bayou, leaning and a broken shelf of its former self.

I don’t get much practice at astrophotography living down here in light-polluted New Orleans. This was last week up in Bangor, PA. Wish I had more access to clear skies.

“The Circle Room”

Kirkridge Retreat and Study Center

#Photography #EastCoastKin
Steps lead down into a cozy nautilus-shaped sitting room with faceted walls, three of them with windows. Cream-colored cushioned benches with bright orange trim adorned with salmon-colored throw pillows line the perimeter of the room. The walls are a deep dusty blue except for the window walls which are accented with a soft orange. The carpet is a deep shade of teal. The room is softly lit from ceiling-mounted spotlights above. A small square cherrywood glass-topped coffee table stands in the center of the room.

Nothing terribly special other than it being my first macro shot ever. 😊

Autumn’s Last

#Photography #EastCoastKin
Auburn leaves adorn the treetops on a Poconos mountainside. A cool mist enshrouds the scene.

I remember when overdone HDR photography was rampant, and it eventually fell out of fashion (mostly). Perhaps hyper-realistic AI images will suffer the same fate.

I’m back after a bit of a hiatus. This is from my recent trip to Pennsylvania.

Poconos Sunrise

#Photography #Sunrise #EastCoastKin
The silhouette of a naked post-autumn tree stands starkly against an explosive sunrise in the Poconos Mountains in Pennsylvania. Red, orange, yellow, magenta, and blue color the cloudy sky.

A tiered metal building with corrugated sides and roof. The standing seams of the roof panels cast vertical shadows. A roof vent protrudes through the top with a bird perched atop it.

A Day to Sail

#Photography #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin
Monochrome shot of the Lake Pontchartrain lakefront on a sunny day. Waves crash on the concrete steps lining the shoreline which is lined with lamp posts and palm trees. Beyond, a dozen or so sailboats sail across the horizon.
