Consider me gone.
I think BSKY is not my cup of tea. More or less a copy of X. As cozy and welcoming as a crowded platform in a railway station in Calcutta. Too much shouting. Too much doom-scrolling. Tastes flat. I'll stick with my blogs rather. And selected circles.
Less is more.
Godspeed!

Anyone?

I had an account long ago, but it seems to be suspended now. I'd like to reactivate it. Many good people and lots of very good work there. And more focussed than huge generic platforms.

Fun facts about the flight of the Vin Fiz:

Named for a short-lived Soda

Crashed 14 times between Brooklyn and Pasadena.

Took 49 days (and failed to win a $5,000 prize offered by William Randolph Hearst to the first person to do it in 30days)

Piloted by a man named Calbraith Perry Rodger’s

The Vin Fiz, Udvar-Hazy Center, Virginia 2025

Leica MP, Summilux 35 1.4, Hp5+ (Pyro 510)

First plane to fly across US (1911), but in a real ship of Theseus manner!

When it is not used as a junk-room, it is a fun to work in my homemade lab. Custom made steel sinks, two enlargers (Leitz Focomat V35 AF and Beseler Dichro 45S) and lots of other useful stuff.
My sanctuary. :-)

2026 goal: shoot all this (plus the bulk loaded stuff) before I buy more #film

Finally left #Adobe (PS/LR) for good some weeks ago. And for #RAW-editing went back to #Darktable which had been an on-off-relationship in the years before. #XNViewMP serves as #DAM and #Krita is used for general editing.
All good now. ;)

Les fantastiques photographies en couleurs réalisées au début tu XXème siècle par Sergueï Prokoudine-Gorski https://t.co/HmFn4TQQ5V Il réalisait 3 clichés différents en utilisant 3 filtres (RVB) puis les reconstituait lors de la révélation Son FlickR dédié https://t.co/ixaBmsCtDB

I detest anything Meta. Just so you know.

I'd not used this film in 4x5 before this session, and found large some swirls on the emulsion, maybe its water marks I'm not sure, I'd definitely have a go at cleaning them if they were important

I shot another test roll through the #Contax RTS, and this time I did not use aperture priority mode (except for a couple of accidental frames - which did not turn out well at all). I metered these shots and they are still all dark, even after some editing in post. Not loving this camera so far.
