Is it weird to have a favourite view on your commute route? The train was delayed #today and passed this part of the route very slowly so I could finally capture that curvy line (not blurred by speed).
My cell phone is 7 years old and the screen is cracked from top to bottom and side to side. When the camera started started to fail, I decided to get a new phone since there have been big improvements in phone cameras. These pictures were taken at 0.5x magnification, 1x mag and 5x mag with the newest iPhone. Apart from cropping, these pictures are not improved. I think this camera will be fun to use. #photography#phonephotography#sky#flowers#berries
heritage objects are best experienced when one can interact with them, rather than just look at them from a distance. to actually step inside a house or building from centuries ago is a fun way to appreciate a fragment of the past (it can be argued that their relocation removes context- thats a discussion for another day).
Three weeks of vacation ends today. It's been rainy and stormy and grey and it never really felt like Summer. I did get a bit of sun this week incl. this pretty sunset 🌅
Weird feeling: not at all ready to return to work, but 100% ready to return to a daily routine.
We often thank people for writing image descriptions here. And we should; they're awesome! So please consider this post as only applying to those awesome folks who describe their images, and those who only do not because of their own disabilities, especially if they use imagecaptionspls@a.gup.pe or the Alt4You hashtag instead:
Thank you, too, to those of you who properly tag your posts. If you use any of the below hashtags (and I hope you can forgive me for pinging them this once), thanks! Or, of course, any other image-related hashtags that I just haven't encountered yet!
They give your post more reach, of course, and that's very useful to artists. But they also make your post easily filterable. This means that sometimes, when there is a little too much of everything, I can temporarily lessen the amount of images on my timeline.
Please do not take this as proof that image descriptions are useless. They're not! I for one still very much enjoy them. There's a reason why #Caturday, #CatsOfMastodon, #DogsOfMastodon, etc. are not in the below list, though tagging those is still great! It's because I cannot imagine a day when I'd feel overwhelmed by cute animal pic descriptions.
But ... while I often want to be a part of your world, there are days when I don't feel like it. When I'd rather enjoy the text that is common to all of us, the reason I came here. Or perhaps all the cool audio stuff my friends are posting (which should also be described and hashtagged for deaf and hard of hearing folks!) Filtering allows me to do that on a platform that doesn't support blocking media, while still recieving some images that I am interested in, and not having to mute any of you wonderful people.
I know "thank you for letting me filter and ignore your stuff" is not the kindest statement, but ... yeah, still. #art, #BelieveInFilm, #Blendsday, #Bloomscrolling, #EyeContact, #drawing, #FernFriday, #florespondence, #illustration, #image, #lichenSubscribe, #MacroPhotography, #MastoArt, #NaturePhotography, #painting, #PhonePhotography, #photo, #photography, #picture, #selfie, #SilentSunday, #StreetPhotography, #VirtualPhotography.
Last one and I'm heading for coffee and my book.
In the distance here sits The St Cross Hospital a monastery and Almshouse for ailing gentleman. It's also my parish church. Not that I'd get over th threshold without being hit by lightning.
Thank you very much HTC 5 camera mobile for the continuing good luck with images. ❤️
