Photography

Nice standalone mushroom seen this morning in Woodhaven Swamp (with a tiny guest).

Photo I took a few years ago that I’ve always really liked.

Personally I dig this weird little fella

It's an old Soviet 16mm film projector lens adapted to a different vintage lens's helicoid then adapted to Micro 4/3.

It's a 50mm f/1.2 lens and it takes some weird photos. It's not perfect (especially if the area is well lit) but it takes some interesting photos with a little practice.

Edit: And being a lens made for 16mm film it takes pictures just like a normal micro 4/3 50mm lens would.

Macro photography of a single flower. The plant is called Hoya Carnosa.

The dregs of summer are upon us for sure. Most plants are either withering away, or are big leafy greens (which don't typically macrophoto very well). Caught this lil purple guy along the trail in Capilano Canyon.

I was walking around close to the mall around here and there are many park attendants who tell you how to park. They all sit in those little containers and watch TVs which seem to be from the 90ies.

This image has a bit of a fun origin

This is a picture of a 3D printed miniature Krusty placed in front of a computer monitor displaying an image of mountain view. It was taken using a 1960s 16mm Soviet projector lens adapted (after a couple hops) to a Lumix G9. The image was then ran through Lightroom, Audacity, Lightroom again, and the parental advisory logo was added afterwards using Gimp.

The model is roughly 1 inch tall.

The model was unpainted at the time of the photo and I have since given the model to a friend. Though I'll probably print more of him.

Wildfire smoke still pretty strong here in Vancouver. This is a viewpoint from Burnaby Mountain, looking north towards Deep Cove and Indian Arm.

Here's a nice photo I shot with my phone (Xiaomi Poco M3) when i went to this beautiful city in Germany.

This, of course isn't a professional photo, but I still think it looks pretty neat.

I got to the beach a bit after sunset but still in the early those of dusk and when I saw this couple I had to get a picture.

I took this using my Lumix G9 with a Leica 12-60mm lens.

This image is in 9x16 aspect ratio and is 4k.

I got the new Sony 70-200 mm F4 Macro G OSS II and it's amazing, even though very expensive. Anyway while looking at all those YouTube videos about it people were very often mention that it's compatible with tele converters and you'd get basically double the size lens (with half the light) + 1.0 macro instead of 0.5. Sounds amazing, and it looks like just a little bit of a short pipe which makes the lens to be a bit further away from the sensor.

I was thinking that it would be neat to get one, but when I looked at the prize, oh my god, $548. I don't get it, so what makes it so expensive?

Took a couple of my old McFarlane dragon figures out on a hike this morning.

James Mollison's second volume of Where Children Sleep has been published. This article features edited extracts from it.

Anyone used the Cam Ranger 2?

Check this out. I spent a couple of weekends designing an adapter for a Canon 40mm lens that I have. The stereography lens has a 52mm thread so you can adapt it to other lenses. Today I opened a simple PayPal store with payhip to see if I can start my way into something interesting. I'll probably end up with just five bucks in my pocket but it would be pretty cool to actually sell a product of my own. So anyway, if you got ideas for other thread sizes I could make it happen. I'm thinking up other options too.
