Listening to it now and I completely agree that Flickr is a great platform but needs to implement changes for more interactions beyond just photographers as well as an option for monetization.

San Josef Bay is in Cape Scott Provincial Park, close to the northwest tip of Vancouver Island. I travelled there with friend, and fellow photographer, @drakedyck.bsky.social on January 30th. We arrived with only 1.5 hours of daylight left. Contre-jour lighting can be a challenge.

A deciduous tree is reflected in a pond along with some very blue sky and a snowy mountain peak with a hint if clouds around the summit.

A deciduous tree is reflected in a pond along with some very blue sky and a snowy mountain peak with a hint if clouds around the summit.

This tree on the banks of Heron Cove near the Pitt River is often used as a perch by the numerous Great Blue Herons in the area. Mount Blanshard (the Golden Ears) is in the background.

Do you stay in with your camera when it's raining because you don't want to get it wet, or are afraid there's nothing worth photographing in the rain. Have a read of my latest blog post and you may change your mind. Let me know what you think!

Good point. I’m just hoping this is an incentive for Canon, Nikon, Sony, etc. pack a little more processing power into their future products. Not that I plan on upgrading anything but glass for a long time.

That’s true. What is be interested in seeing is the integration of smartphone camera processing tech with a system like this and if it will spur the traditional camera makers to play catch up.
