A row of old wood piles sticking out of Colpoy's Bay, Ontario for #ColourADay #BWFri

Part of my #GettingBackToBasics project using a small set of manual focus prime lenses. In this case the short telephoto.

Its a long distance from the UK to Vancouver. Neil must have one helluva big telephoto lens to capture these birds.

Got myself a hardwire kit and external battery for my dashcam.

I'm also trying to source two Wyze Telephoto cams since they're out of stock.

And I'm also gonna tell my boss that the store's most important exterior cameras need to be reconnected, since nobody knew they were dead until today.

After not seeing them for ages, the Cardinals are back in town.

So, I raced to get my slow, very crap telephoto lens. That also has front focus issues. And then shot through a filthy window. In poor light.

Over on Xitter, Chris LaCivita posted this pathetic tweet in between Susie Wiles' own "disingenuously framed hit piece" tweet and Russ Vought, Don Jr, Scott Bessent, Jason Miller, and Bill Pulte's RTs of Wiles' tweet with their tributes to how exceptional she is.

😜
A Chris LaCivita tweet RTing a Ryan Lizza one. La Civita: The real story everyone is reading about Lizza: Part 6: 'Bobby was behind the whole thing.' The photographer was waiting for me outside. Somehow, he knew that I made a daily run to this coffee shop. Did she give the Daily Mail my address? He spotted me approaching, followed me inside to the counter, and waited to hear me say my name to the cashier for my to-go order to confirm he had the right target. Then he scurried back outside and took up a position at the entrance to my building. This guy was a pro. Now he had an unobstructed line of sight as I walked some 50 yards, totally exposed, back to my front door. He was calm, not like the panicky pack of paparazzi you see on the news sometimes, jostling each other and madly snapping bursts of photos. The Daily Mail guy had some 30 seconds to shoot—an eternity—and he was taking his time, chilling on a concrete bench, adjusting his cartoonishly long telephoto lens at his leisure. I only noticed him halfway through the kill zone. Should I turn around? Oh, God, that would be worse, right? I just smiled and walked by. The picture was posted later that night, and the headline could not have been better for Olivia and Bobby than if they had written it themselves...

After being MIA in the mail for two whole-ass weeks, this questionable hunk of glass and steel finally arrived! Doesn't seem to focus very crisp-ily, but for the price of a Taco Bell dinner for two it's not totally unexpected. Not gonna win a Pulitzer but great for spying on neighbors!

Much easier to have a big, slow, loitering surveillance drone and a telephoto lens. Or, failing that, a helicopter and a telephoto lens.

I'm sorting through and editing some photos that I took at Point Reyes yesterday, and starting to wonder if I should use a bit of my emergency savings to buy a new camera and telephoto lens. It feels like an emergency.

Painting the night pink.
Bridges on the Sumida from above and far away at dusk. Telephoto lens makes it look like one tiny patch of pink is the entire sky, and I love that for us. Colors evoke neo-Tokyo vibes, whatever that even means.

I stopped by Essex Modern City in San Antonio on Saturday afternoon. It was closed, but I used a telephoto lens to shoot through the fence and get a couple of photos of murals that looked like they are new.

Jo - Surfer Babe PATREON Preview

I documented Jo's nude beach adventure with my favourite telephoto lens from a distance. She was tanning in the sands taking care of all her hidden parts to be well exposed to the warmth of the Sun.

I thought I had shot this on my second camera (with a 40mm fitted) but this is at 75mm and therefore shot on the 70-200 on the tripod. The scene really just worked better in telephoto range I guess.

These bikes are parked behind a bike shop. Looks like they haven't moved in weeks (note the leaves around the wheels). This must be a safe area if they haven't been nicked by any locals. ;) Details in ALT.
Sony a6400, Sony 70-350mm lens (I was hoping for birds, hence the telephoto lens), f/5, 1/1250s, ISO-1600, 103mm. Processed in Luminar Neo in B&W with selective color. Texture used as an overlay.

I had this job in 2007, can’t recommend it enough. You’ll learn so much and find yourself with opportunities you never expected.

In my case, I learned I did not want to cover politics for a living, but I had the opportunity to leave a small imprint on the mag with my camera and this pic of Obama
Barack Obama wears a black cowboy hat (that was handed to him by a fan) while surrounded by people with 2007-vintage digital cameras and flip phones In February 2007, Barack Obama left the stage at Austin's Auditorium Shores and waded into the crowd of 20,000. Someone in the giddy throng pressed a black cowboy hat into his hands. As luck, and a quick shutter finger, would have it. Matt Wright, a 26-year freelance photographer who was the Observer's blogger at the time, was looking at Obama through a telephoto lens about 30 yards away as the scene unfolded. "He had this grin on his face, plunked it on his head, and tipped it once," Wright said. "It was kind of mock serious." A few hours later, Wright posted the photo to the Observer's blog, writing, "As (Obama] exited the podium, people were practically running. trying to find a way backstage to have their picture taken with him. Crazy stuff." The indelible Image-simultaneously capturing Obama's poise and playfulness-quickly became an Internet phenomenon. Wright said he realized the photo had gone viral when the next day someone showed him a mass e-mail headlined "There's a New Sheriff in Town." Over the past year, the cowboy Obama photo has cropped up on Atlantic Monthly's Web site, as well as in the Austin American-Statesman, an ad for a cowboy hat company in Denver, a museum exhibit called "Cowboys and Presidents," and on YouTube, in a video featuring mariachis singing an Obama themed corrido. Since his brief Austin giddy-up, Obama seems to have steered clear of cowboy accoutrements. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told reporters in August, "Barack Obama doesn't wear cowboy boots, doesn't wear a cowboy hat-because it wouldn't look right." We know better. -Forrest Wilder

Title: "Al-Lat's Mirage Oasis"
Style: National Geographic documentary photography meets Persian miniature painting; extreme long focal length compression of dunes
Prompt in ALT
A National Geographic documentary photograph with Persian miniature painting influences captures a Bedouin goddess of the desert night seated cross-legged atop the highest dune in the Empty Quarter, her flowing dress woven from rich camel hair and shimmering threads of captured mirage-light. Her face bears intricate constellation tattoos that shift and pulse with the actual star patterns above, while a magnificent falcon with feathers of beaten gold perches regally on her outstretched wrist. Below her divine presence, a ghostly caravan of translucent camels marches endlessly across the compressed dune landscape, their ethereal forms captured through extreme telephoto lens compression that flattens the desert perspective into layered bands of sand. An oasis blooms instantly at her graceful gesture, its date palms growing in magical fast-forward motion, while the Milky Way arches brilliantly overhead, perfectly mirrored in a temporary lake of liquid silver sand, all bathed in the dual li

Thanks Jason. Also a manual focus telephoto from the 1970s that was too long to get the whole bird in the frame.

Someone commented under one of my photos that I had generated it with AI.
So here’s a picture of me in my office, writing another prompt with my extremely overpriced prompt generator. 😉
