#photography nerditry:
I make mostly (but not exclusively) B&W images (at least for my fine art work). Is it worth using a dedicated monochrome sensor?

Most digital cameras are designed to record color, using a special mask in front of the sensor called a "Bayer filter". This allows color information to be derived from the raw sensor output, which otherwise would just record brightness. But the Bayer filter can also reduce effective resolution of the image a bit.

So what's the tradeoff?

Les thèmes et les infos.

A vos appareils photo !

Q : Pourquoi y a-t-il 2 thèmes par jour ? R : Pour que ça soit plus amusant. 3 niveaux de difficulté : Niveau 1 : Poster une photo sur un des deux thèmes Niveau 2 : Poster deux photos, une pour chaque thème Niveau 3 : Poster une photo avec les deux thèmes Q : Est-ce qu’il y a une limite de temps pour participer ? R : Non. Tu peux participer quand tu veux, même pour les thèmes passés. En revanche, pour les thèmes à venir, il vaut mieux attendre le jour dit ou éventuellement programmer ton message ;-) Q : Est-ce que je peux utiliser des anciennes photos ? R : Oui, évidemment. Tu peux aussi les préparer à l’avance ou les prendre le jour-même. Q : Est-ce que je peux poster des photos trouvées sur internet ? R : Si c’était un challenge Google Images, oui. Mais là, non. Uniquement des photos que tu as prises toi-même, avec un appareil photo (ou un smartphone). Et non, une capture d’écran n’est pas une photo ;-) Q : À votre avis, c’est qui le plus fort, l‘hippopotame ou l’éléphant ? R : Il dit qu’il voit pas le rapport. Q : On gagne quoi à participer ? R : Le plaisir d’avoir joué, c’est déjà beaucoup, non ? Q : Je ne suis pas doué en photo. J’ai quand même le droit de jouer ? R : Voir la réponse à la question précédente. Q : Et si je triche, je risque quoi ? R : Rien, juste que tu trompes la confiance que tes parents ils ont mis à l’intérieur de toi. Q : Autre chose ? R : Oui : n‘oublie pas de mettre le hashtag avec tes photos, et amuse-toi !

Prise en main d'un vieil objectif soviétique Helios 44-2 f2. C'est pas facile de faire une mise au point à la main mais le rendu est plein de charme grâce aux aberrations sphériques. J'arrive à obtenir le fameux flou d'arrière plan tournant même si je n'ai pas un plein format.

Good morning Mastodon. I hope you're having a nice day.

In my head, when I saw the sign, this was very funny. I accept the possibility that it's only funny to me, but just in case...

I didn’t know I needed to watch a cute, chubby field hamster running through a field in slow motion, but here we are.

Wildlife photographer Julian Rad has a nice collection of photos/videos of furry little friends in nature. They’re super cute.

https://www.instagram.com/julianradwildlife/

First clip showing Julian holding his camera near the ground in front of the hamster, filming in real time. Second clip showing the footage from the camera in slow motion of the hamster running on the grass with its large jowls and tiny feet.

Here's a very colourful window for Friday. It's in the Sagrada Familia, in Barcelona, which might, finally, be finished in a couple of years - so they say.

It's time for another history/museum thread. This one starts in Australia then goes to the Netherlands. It's a long one and it's going to take quite a lot of posts so get comfy.

With BeMyAI and Lookout on the rise and existing services like Seeing AI and Envision being out there, it seems like a lot of #blind people are trying to become familiar with phone cameras and their interfaces. There are a lot of questions about camera positioning--e.g., how to point, how to stand, what will be covered, etc.

Would it be helpful to have an article or an audio tutorial that covers these topics?

I hate sounding like the old guy in the room when I say things like "phone design used to be more fun". I mean, I AM the old guy in the room, but I hate SOUNDING like the old guy complaining about new tech.

Frosted gradients. Laser etched glossy. Bold primary color polycarb. Metal and leather. Different form factors and features... Sigh...

We didn't know how good we had it...

I feel like I’ve really nailed my color processing workflow.

I only use the Bellini C-41 kit (personal pref to have the bleach and fix separate. I’m sure other kits work well too but I like this one most).

I’m happy with the results. On 35mm, I scan at home with a Plustek scanner (tried every scanning option and hated this the least). For medium format I collect enough rolls to go to Photolaundry in SF where I can rent a Fuji Frontier for $20/h.

Short Stories.

Love ‘em, hate ‘em, somewhere in the middle?

Years ago one of my dear friends (who is a huge bookworm) and I were talking. She told me she hated short stories. I can’t remember why or if she even told me a reason. This conversation has stuck with me, because I struggle with them- why? I have no idea. I have tried different tactics to overcome this. I am s l o w l y reading one now, but I don’t gravitate toward it (not the one pictured, but it’s one I really want to read if I can ever get there).

I’d love to hear your thoughts.
