Pinned post, about following from multiple addresses

Hi, when I follow someone I usually do this from multiple accounts, with different servers and platforms. This is partially as backup. It’s also because different software has different features. E.g. at the moment of writing I mainly post from my Friendica server, but it doesn’t yet support polls, or account migrations. So I also follow from my Pleroma server, which does notify me someone has migrated.

I also sometimes use platforms that support nomadic identity, that allows my channels on multiple servers to be synced. From software that doesn’t support that, a follow request looks like multiple separate requests from those channels.

Further things I learned in photography today: ducks, like humans, are very skittish when they have a black barrel pointed at them. They don't quite panic, but they do swim the other way. Also, dragonflies are really quick.

Posting on Instagram and Pixelfed both failed, in different ways. Instagram flatly refuses, Pixelfed corrupts the photoset. Maybe trying a single picture?

Ok, single picture on Pixelfed worked, can't post the set I wanted. Instagram finally succeeded when I copied the photos to my tablet first. So if you want to see some other pictures of my walkabout, here's the insta link: instagram.com/p/C-GmSPHo8Tn/ , or maybe wait until I start a photo blog or something.


I was photographing with my zoom lens for a while but now Mr Bird wants a word.

(Cropped and scaled down for the socials. Canon EOS R10, Canon RF-S 18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM @ 150mm, ISO 320, Av f/7.1, Tv 1/320, Fv priority mode, Servo AF, Animal Subject Tracking. Yes, I should have increased the shutter speed, I forgot.)

Testing my new ultra wide angle lens. This is at 10mm (field of view equivalent to 16mm), the view is so much wider than by eye.

I wasn't paying much attention to the exposure, was also getting a bit late in the evening since I had to cycle around the forest to get to another entrance.

I notice that as long as there aren't many shapes for which your brain has much reference (like rectangular buildings) an ultra wide angle lens can compose nice pictures, else the distortion can be obvious and sometimes distracting. Something to keep in mind.
