'I am completely operational, and all my circuits are functioning perfectly'

* A failure of the fibre modem at home has meant that I have been unable to use broadband internet for days. The expensive pay-per-MB backup solution was only used in real emergencies. But I'm not complaining. In fact, it was quite nice and relaxing. However, I'm also happy that all the home systems are operational again 😀

#MindfullWeekend #Photography

A multi-monitor computer setup with both monitors showing a system status dashboard. On each screen, a green banner at the top reads "All Systems Operational". Below this, a list of various services is displayed with a green bar and a percentage, indicating their status and performance. Some of the service names are made invisible.

Beneath the monitors, there is a desk with several small miniature police cars, a small yellow figurine on wheels, and a blue and white toy Volkswagen bus with "peace" written on it. A third monitor is partially visible at the bottom of the photo, displaying an image of a planet from space, with a striking view of the planet's curvature and atmosphere illuminated by a sunset.

Watching the World in a Dark Room
The Early Modern Camera Obscura

By Julie Park

Centuries before photography froze the world into neat frames, scientists, poets, and artists streamed transient images into dark interior spaces with the help of a camera obscura.

#camera_obscura #photography #optics

Illustration of the camera obscura principle from James Ayscough's A short account of the eye and nature of vision (1755 fourth edition).

A camera obscura is the natural phenomenon in which the rays of light passing through a small hole into a dark space form an image where they strike a surface, resulting in an inverted (upside down) and reversed (left to right) projection of the view outside.

Light Streaks — generative photography

A small selection of long-exposures of randomly generated IFS (aka Iterated Function Systems), a family of very oldskool primitive/trivial fractal functions, but which can produce a fairly wide variety of outcomes. Each image is the result of billions of iterations of a single particle being iteratively transformed (meaning the particle's current position is used as the input for computing its next position etc.) For each iteration & position a tiny amount of light is being captured, slowly revealing an image, just like a negative does in analog film photography.

Some of these images have been "exposed" (aka computed) for up to 30 mins. The smaller the amount of light captured per iteration, the smoother (less grainy) the outcome...

(For the more technical: This is one of these projects where a floating point pixel buffer _really_ makes all the difference! My exposure rate is only 0.001 per pixel per frame, some of the images use even weaker settings... That means for a pixel to become fully white is has to be visited at least 1000 times [or more])

Made with https://thi.ng/matrices (matrix transformations) and https://thi.ng/pixel ("film" capture)...

If you'd like to capture the herring spawn on Vancouver Island, I offer daily photo tours in March. We photograph this amazing event from the shore, not from a boat so you don't need to worry about seasickness or the tour being cancelled because of a rough sea.

Max 3 guests per tour to limit our impact on wildlife. Learn more on my website: https://www.catherinebabault.com/workshops

深夜のエッフェル塔
La Tour Eiffel tard dans la nuit

今晩の「世界の何だコレ!? ミステリー」で初めて知った。夜のエッフェル塔の照明に著作権があって、照明点き夜のエッフェル塔の写真は商用目的で無断使用できないらしい。
これは個人のソーシャルメディアだし、深夜で消灯してるから問題ないです。
しかし、どこからでも見える巨大建造物。変な著作が認められてるな。バカみたい。

Folsom and 16th, under the watchful eyes of Yolanda López.
Yesterday, 5:03 p.m.

#photography #StreetPhotography

A faded, monochrome picture of a street that runs through the heart of the Mission. Taken from the center of Folsom, looking south through a car windshield, while heading back from the gym a few hours before the rain.

This is an ordinary scene in this crowded San Francisco neighborhood, but for the giant portrait of a woman with a no-nonsense expression surveying all activity on the street below her.

The woman is Yolanda López (1942–2021), a community leader, artist, activist, educator, film producer, printmaker, and Chicano studies scholar. Yolanda lived in the Mission until her passing. Shortly before her death, a multistory mural portrait was added the the side of a tall building at 16th and Folsom. Per the artists, the mural expresses Yolanda's enthusiasm for the Black Panthers and references Yolanda's work producing the Basta Ya! ("enough already") newspaper.

#52WochenFotoChallenge #Photography

A moody, cinematic long-exposure photograph that captures a sense of speed and urban isolation at night.

In the lower-right quadrant, a figure on a bicycle is captured in motion. You can see the glow of a headlight and a red taillight, though the rider's form is blurred into a ghostly silhouette.

The urban environment is abstracted into horizontal streaks of grey, blue, and black. Faint rectangular shapes suggest buildings, but they lack sharp definition.

The image uses a "cold" color grade, featuring deep navies, charcoal greys, and desaturated teals.

"One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them"
-- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

This is a black-and-white close-up photograph of a sturdy metal hitching ring mounted on a very old, heavily weathered wooden barn wall. The wood shows a rough, deeply cracked texture. The grain runs straight up and down like long wrinkles. You can feel how old and worn the wood is: there are splits, peeling patches, dark knots, and areas where the surface has eroded. Right in the center sits a rectangular metal mounting plate, solidly fixed to the wood with four screws — one at each corner — each with a clear star-shaped head. The metal plate itself is a bit shiny in places but also shows tarnish, scratches, and the patina of long use. Attached to the middle of this plate is a large, thick, perfectly circular metal ring. The ring dangles freely downward, smooth and solid, big enough to easily loop a lead rope or reins through. The lighting creates sharp contrast: the bright metallic hardware stands out strongly against the dark, textured wood. The photo is tightly framed so nothing else is visible — just this simple, practical piece of farm equipment. Overall feeling: rugged, reliable, and full of character. It’s exactly the kind of ring you would find on an old stable or barn to safely tie up a horse while brushing, feeding, or saddling it.
