There's so much going on that I can't post disapproving posts for every single thing. So here's just one blanket one.

It's all wrong. You know, everything. All of it. Not just in the US, but it's happening, or starting to, everywhere. The rule of law is abandoned and people are shipped off to uncontrolled foreign prisons. People's right to be who they are is removed. Institutions to help and better other people are disbanded.

We need to get back to caring about other people. Care about the next generation's ability to get educated. No matter the skin colour, no matter the social class, care about whether people can buy food. Care about people getting a fair trial. Care about people whether they are your gender or not, or have the gender you think they have, or even have a gender.

Care about other people, no matter what kind of 'other' they are.

If your world view consists of white cowboy hats and black cowboy hats you may want to check whether your white cowboy hats aren't just black cowboy hats that have been spray painted white.

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.

These are straight out of camera, literally, because I loaded them onto my phone and posted them before getting home and anywhere near my computer. But now I realise that's the jpeg's on the S2 setting, the lowest resolution, under 4M pixels. Not bad, considering.

Went to Eindhoven today to photograph some of the famous statues as a very small photography project. The intent was to make the photos somewhat different from the norm, using just one lens. Canon RF 35 F1.8 on Canon EOS R10.

First Anton Philips in front of the train station.

Statue of Anton Philips, which is located in front of Eindhoven Central Station. The angle is close, from the side and looking up, so no background is visible. The subject is an old man carrying a hat in his hand and wearing a long overcoat.

Finally the statue by Rodin in front of the Van Abbe Museum (not in the frame).

To me the statue always seems to be twisted, distorted, against the norm, and I tried to do that justice in the photo.

#Photography #Eindhoven #CanonEOSR10 #CanonR10 #statue #Rodin

Statue by Rodin, which can be found in front of the Van Abbe Museum in Eindhoven. It is rough, of a man standing but leaning backwards, similar to the tree in the background. The angle is a closeup looking up and from the side.

I was checking what a 800mm focal length looked like, by cropping from 400mm, for reasons. I seem to have caught suspicious looks from the local bird-life, they think it is all rather weird.

That Jay on the ground in the second photo apparently only shows up when I have a 200mm lens with a 2x extender on my camera. That's not ideal. One day I will get a better photo...


  • Both photos: Canon EOS R10, 400mm.
  • Pigeon: Canon RF 100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM, 1/200s, F9, ISO 250
  • Jay: Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L USM II + EF 2x Extender III, 1/640, F5.6, ISO 3200

A bird (a Eurasian Jay) standing on the ground which consists mainly of pebbles. It appears to be looking up in surprise, or it could actually be looking down for food.

For related reasons I was checking whether F11 would be useable on a cloudy day. This turned some heads.

I started to put some photos on Flickr again. E.g. here is that Jay (or similar) showing up a few days ago when I had the same lens combination which resulted in so much chromatic aberration I had to turn the photo to black and white.
