This is a lost photo. The only version I had was one on Flickr with a long edge of 768 pixels. I’m trying AI up scaling and the results are better on images that are sharper and less underexposed than this was. It’s my dear friends @sadshirtshop when they were in a band called Fezray (Fez and beret, right?). Anyway, I liked this pic and the AI has definitely improved over the mess-of-visible-pixels alternatives from years past.
#throwbackthursday The world’s biggest surviving bird - and the world’s biggest surviving dinosaur - enjoying a dust bath after a long day of grumpy peckin’. @withoutaleaf and I went to Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in 2008, I think. A spectacular piece of Southern Africa. Until quite recently it was one of the only places in which the world’s oldest culture, the Bushman hunter-gatherers, could still practise their traditional way of life - until the Botswana government kicked them out.
A latergram of Trinket just to keep up appearances.
Since I had the 50 f1.4 on the camera I grabbed a pic of princess fuss-pot - aka Trinket. Unfortunately, because it’s an unconverted early 70s lens, I had to do some minor surgery to get it off the camera again 😬 #catportraits #effietrinket #trinket #princessfusspot #greeneyes #whiskers #f1.
A very old friend came by today. This Nikon D200 is from the first generation of digital cameras that could produce results as good as film. It has no video. It’s low light capabilities are unremarkable. But in decent light it can make images that look great even blown up to 11”x14”. Slow but not obsolete - just like me.
