Lamppost among the trees 🏮🌲 #Photography

📷: Fujifilm X-E1
🔭: Fuji XF 56mm f1.2 mk I
A color photograph of a lamppost and trees in Central Park, Manhattan. The lamp is glowing a soft white, matching the white blooms of the trees around it. The sky behind is also overcast, adding to the greys and whites. Towards the bottom of the frame, the trees further off have more green.

Honestly extremely impressed with this park setup #Photography

📷: Fujifilm X-E1
🔭: Fuji XF 56mm f1.2 mk I
A color photograph of a person in a raincoat sitting on a large white blanket in a grassy area of Central Park, Manhattan. They came extremely prepared with an elaborate setup, including several containers with flowers, an assortment of pillows, a miniature table with several candles, and umbrella, a laptop, and several bags and baskets strewn about. They're currently alone, begging the question if they carried all this gear themselves. The backdrop is several trees, bushes, and flowerbeds, as well as some winding paved paths beyond.

Al Capone chilling outside an Italian restaurant #Photography

📷: Fujifilm X-T5
🔭: Fuji XF 56 1.2 mk I
A color photograph of a life-sized Al Capone mannequin outside an Italian restaurant. The figure is heavily weathered and worn, with the paint of his suit, skin, hat, and tie chipped, peeling, scratched, and otherwise worn down. One hand is wrapped in tape like a bandage, and there's been some vandalizing of the figure too - most notably a black line that looks like a stitched-up scar along the figure's jawline. Despite his sorry state, he still smiles. He's sitting at a table with a couple of small partially-filled wine glasses, in front of several windows and doors decorated with eggs and flowers for Easter.

📷: Fujifilm X-T5
🔭: Fuji XF 70-300 f4-5.6
A color photograph of two vibrant yellow tulips standing tall in a little garden, one in front of the other. The background is blurred, mostly green leaves and some buds that haven't quite bloomed yet.

You can't just stand there like that dude 🦆 #Photography

📷: Fujifilm X-T5
🔭: Fuji XF 70-300 f4-5.6
A color photograph of a duck looking like he's standing on water in the middle of a pond, wings outstretched forward as he gets a good morning stretch. Ripples of water radiate outward from him. Very impressive critter.

Misplaced bobber 🎣🌲❓ #Photography

📷: Fujifilm X-T5
🔭: Fuji XF 70-300 f4-5.6
A color photograph of a fishing bobber and accompanying hook tangled and marooned in the branches of a tree over a body of water. Gotta work on that technique.

Wee little bird 🐦‍⬛ #Photography

📷: Fujifilm X-T5
🔭: Fuji XF 70-300 f4-5.6
A color photograph of an American Robin from below. It's a cute little bugger, very orange chest + belly, black head and wings. It's perched on metal structuring above some outdoor bleachers.

Neat shadows cast by the buildings on this one. #Photography

📷: Fujifilm X-T5
🔭: Fuji XF 16-50mm f2.8-4.8
A color photograph of a street in Manhattan. Much of the foreground is in shade, but as you get a bit further out, light breaks through and a sliver hits the street, highlighting a person on a bicycle passing through. I kinda just dig the angle and the assortment of buildings + the lighting on this one.

Bar storefront that I caught in some nice lighting 🎺🐵 #Photography

📷: Fujifilm X-T5
🔭: Fuji XF 16-50mm f2.8-4.8
A color photograph of a bar storefront in Manhattan. The sign reads BRASS MONKEY in big, bold letters, just beneath a metal awning. A couple of large windows with cross-shaped grills make up the bulk of the storefront, with a dark doorway off to the side. Just in front of the windows sits a large, bright green table, with a bright orange umbrella slotted into it - a very eye-catching display. The scene has a heavy orange-gold tint to it from a dramatic sunset.

Flowers in Central Park 💜 #Photography

📷: Fujifilm X-E1
🔭: Fuji XF 56mm f1.2 mk I
A color photograph of a big bushel of rhododendrons (at least I'm pretty sure that's what they are, lmao) in Central Park, Manhattan. The photo is taken up close, with one cluster of flowers closer and in focus, and the rest further back and slightly blurred. They're a very vibrant purple-pinkish color, rather nice.

A little more Pokemon card #Macro #Photography, a Pikachu this time! 🐭⚡

📷: Fujifilm X-T5
🔭: Venus Optics Laowa 65mm f2.8 Macro
A color photograph of a Pikachu Pokemon card taken with a macro camera lens. It features Pikachu hopping along in an urban setting with an assortment of colorful buildings around. The card is holographic, with a stripe of reflective, shiny sparkles cutting through the middle of the card due to the light hitting it just so. The same card, but magnified much further to show just Pikachu's head. At this magnification, thousands of little pixel dots comprising the card's art can be seen. Little holographic specks are scattered throughout PIkachu's face, like infinitesimal flecks of gold.

Pier off to the clouds ☁️ #Photography

📷: Fujifilm X-T1
🔭: Fuji XF 18mm f2
A color photograph of a pier in Long Island, NY. The pier extends far off into the distance, with two wooden rails running along both sides of it. One of the rails is right up against the lens of the camera, taking up a sizable chunk of the right side of the frame. A small reflective sign is in the close foreground, with a blue plastic drum off in the distance. Some seawater can be seen to the left. The upper half of the frame is dominated by large, fluffy, white clouds, with bits of blue sky peeking out here and there.

Messing around with a macro lens and some Pokemon cards I had lying around. Check out this Houndoom 🐕🔥
#Macro #Photography

📷: Fujifilm X-T5
🔭: Venus Optics Laowa 65mm f2.8 Macro
A color, macro photograph of a Houndoom Pokemon card. Looks like an angry, demonic dog with black fur and a few splashes of orange on the muzzle and underbelly, along with white horns, white skeletal formations on the back resembling ribs, and an odd pendant at the base of the neck. There's fire whipping around the art, as well as shiny speckles of holographic foil. The same image, but magnified even further on the head. The holographic speckles are easier to see, with many of them interspersed even throughout Houndoom's body. The holographic speckles look like tiny flecks of red-orange, fiery ember, making for a really neat visual effect.

Cherry blossoms on Pilgrim Hill 🌸 #Photography

📷: Fujifilm X-T5
🔭: Fuji XF 23mm f1.4 II
A color photograph of cherry blossoms on Pilgrim Hill in Central Park, Manhattan. The foreground is taken up by dozens of pink blooms along a branch, with more sprawling into the left and top of the frame and into the background. Off-center to the right is a statue of the Pilgrim leaning on a musket, which the area is named for. The statue is ominously dark with the lighting, almost completely black and featureless among the bright pink blooms of the flowers and the stark grey overcast sky behind.

More close-ups of some flowers 💮 #Photography

📷: Fujifilm X-E1
🔭: Fuji XF 56mm f1.2 mk I
A color photograph of flowers in Central Park, Manhattan. It's a close-up photo, with several beautiful shades of pink fading to white at the end of the petals (I believe they're magnolias, but I'm not super good with plants 💦). Some of the petals have little beads of water sitting on them from very recent rain.

Nice view of the Pond #Photography

📷: Fujifilm X-E1
🔭: Fuji XF 56mm f1.4 mk I
A color photograph of The Pond at Central Park, Manhattan, from an overhead view. A large tree dominates much of the photo from the foreground, with its limbs stretching to the top left and cutting off the upper third of the frame from the right. There's luscious greenery planted along a paved walking path below, with a small group of people walking together along it, next to a lovely little lamp post. The rest of the frame is filled with the calm water of the pond, with a faint shimmer on the surface from the overcast sun.

Overlooking the Gapstow 🌉 #Photography

📷: Fujifilm X-E1
🔭: Fuji XF 56mm f1.2 mk I
A color photograph of the Gapstow Bridge in Central Park, Manhattan. The shot is taken from a nearby rock formation overlooking the scene. A person in a black raincoat is in the foreground, looking out over the pond, the stone bridge, and a medley of budding trees with lovely red, yellow, and green colors. Several people are hanging out on the bridge, with one person looking like they're photographing me back. Hey bud 👋

I always have to take a photo of this clock whenever I visit Grand Central 🕰️ #Photography

📷: Fujifilm X-T5
🔭: Fuji XF 16-50mm f2.8-4.8
A color photograph of the gilded, ornate clock that adorns the information kiosk in the center of the lobby of Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan. It's quite dark, with the main concourse only dimly lit with some gold lighting - the clock's faces have a warm glow to them. The clock is framed by one of the tremendous, iconic, portcullis-like windows that the station is famous for. This was one of the first photos I took with this camera so it's extremely janky, but I love it, fucked-up settings and all.

Fishing at The Lake at Central Park 🎣 #Photography

📷: Fujifilm X-T5
🔭: Fuji XF 23mm f1.4 II
A color photograph of a little landscape scene by the Lake in Central Park, Manhattan. There's a little walking trail flanked by fencing that I'm generously going to call leading lines, which lead the eye to a stone about halfway through the photo. A person in a red and black jacket is sitting on top of the rock with a fishing pole by their side, checking their phone in their downtime. Beyond that is the lake, with a small rowboat visible off to the side, and a gazebo with some people chilling on the opposite shore. Further is a dense patch of trees in various states of barren and budding growth, with two towering spires of the San Remo apartment complex dominating the skyline just behind.

Shuman Running Track was popular the other day 🏃 #Photography

📷: Fujifilm X-E1
🔭: Fuji XF 35mm f1.4
A color photograph of a crowded running path that runs along the Kennedy Reservoir in Central Park, Manhattan. The paved path winds off into the distance, with many people walking and jogging along it. Off in the distance are several tall NYC buildings, the tallest two being the El Dorado apartment complex buildings. Above is a mostly clear blue sky, with a few errant clouds here and there to shake things up a bit.

More telephoto practice, but a different, markedly more confident goose this time. #Photography

📷: Fujifilm X-T5
🔭: Fuji XF 70-300 f4-5.6
A color photograph of a Canada Goose walking in a park on Long Island. The goose has a very notable swagger about it, with its head held high, chest out, and legs confidently strutting forward. There's a little paved path in the background, along with the base of a street lamp, a tree, and a metal fence further back.

Testing out a new telephoto lens on some geese! Enjoying this new reach so far. #Photography

📷: Fujifilm X-T5
🔭: Fuji XF 70-300mm f4-5.6
A color photograph of a Canada Goose toodling around in a lake on Long Island. The water has some ripples but is largely calm, with the goose's reflection quite visible along with some more abstract reflections of housing / greenery nearby.
