The dinosaur landscape of the cycads that evolved before there were trees or grass.</p> <p>I’m planning my exit strategy from instagram which that ridiculous animated manikin, Zuckerberg, has now enshittified to the point where it’s just a place for seeing recycled stuff from TikTok and Twitter.</p> <p>I see more original photos on Bluesky and I’m not exaggerating. The reverse Midases of big tech will never stop (unless they run into Mario’s brother) so I think I might scrape everything off here and put it on my own website.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2025-01-14-another-kirstenbosch-pic-photography-wisdom/ Tue, 14 Jan 2025 18:53:48 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2025-01-14-another-kirstenbosch-pic-photography-wisdom/ <p>Another Kirstenbosch pic. Photography wisdom says dappled light through leaves doesn’t work. And that wisdom is probably right.</p> <p>I’m impressed at how sharp my cheapie ttartisan 17mm f1.4 is when stopped down to somewhere between f5.6 and f8.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2025-01-14-another-little-expedition-into-kirstenbosch/ Tue, 14 Jan 2025 18:50:10 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2025-01-14-another-little-expedition-into-kirstenbosch/ <div class="swiper carousel-container"> <div class="swiper-wrapper"> <div class="swiper-slide"> <img src="18070934581666959.jpg" alt=""> </div> <div class="swiper-slide"> <img src="18012761204678007.jpg" alt=""> </div> </div> <div class="swiper-button-next"></div> <div class="swiper-button-prev"></div> <div class="swiper-pagination"></div> </div> <p>Another little expedition into Kirstenbosch with my old man in his dapper explorer’s outfit. Wandering about. Taking pictures.</p>
