It's pretty much a year to the day since I was in the northernmost parts of mainland Scotland.

That holiday triggered some strange migratory response in me and I've been obsessed with going further north to Shetland ever since

Probably won't lug the large format along though!

One day I'll visit!

I eat beetroot just infrequently enough to FORGET

It's Pokémon Go To The Polls again I can't wait

How much psychic damage will I sustain from Starmer attempting the Griddy

Based on the opinion of every old school photographer I've ever spoken to: "wrong"

Probably because I never printed in a darkroom before last month would be my guess

The British weather is certainly ready with what appears to be infinite clouds

This image I made a while back is evergreen, I fear

A photo of a comet against a starry background

I tried my best, but the light pollution over the horizon was too much

Comet Lemmon with about 8 minutes worth of exposure

IN THEORY it should be as simple as plugging the usb in and searching for drives on your network.

You could then do the same on the home pc.

Do you have a router with a usb port? The easiest but not the nearest solution I can think of is an external hard drive plugged into a router.

A usb thumb drive would work if you're not moving masses of files.

That should be accessible without needing to install stuff on a locked down laptop.

Literally just had this on a car journey. Tried to use a voice command to change a song (a feature that's worked since 2014)

Instead, it asked me to set up Gemini and blocked the entire phone screen with a message that couldn't be dismissed without touching the phone screen.

Thank you so much! I did a degree in biochemistry and tinkering with my film interests the chemist in me.

I'd love to leverage that to get a job with a certain manufacturer of silver-based goods one day perhaps 😏

I'm really happy with my latest work of the fluorescent tubes and Phoenix I.

A4: My Nikon FE very very rarely gets left behind. It's an extension of my hands at this point.

I love @ilfordphoto.com FP4 in 120.

I also love @harmanphoto.co.uk Phoenix I, it's absolutely fantastic with flash and I will be loading some cameras up with it for my wedding next year.

A3: my god awful website is christopherbarne.com and it's borderline abandoned currently as I've been the busiest I've ever been at work.

A2: 100% a hobbyist. I have done exactly 2 "professional" jobs.

I did the photography for my Nan's 70th birthday and I did a jewellery photo shoot for a friend as a favour.

I work in a testing lab by trade which is more problem solving than creative.

A1: I'm Chris, I shoot pretty much anything with a focus on unusual media such as aerochrome, infrared, black and white reversal and more recently, strange lighting.

I've been into photography since 2019 but it really took off when I bought my first film camera with my partner in 2020. #photochat

Ahhh okay, I don't have the QB39. I might try with my GR3 (KG3) and see if that doesn't let too much IR through.

I've always struggled with UV white balancing too so I'll need to figure that out as well.

I need to try out my ZWB2 some time too.

These are fantastic.

What's the filter here, is it a visible light blocker that lets UV in too?

I've only ever used my UV in monochrome with an infrared hot mirror.

@cpsc.gov you can have this one for free if you need to do any mercury related outreach

Mercury in the twelfth house, what about the mercury in YOUR house, WAKE UP PEOPLE

The woke EU and UK are ruining my art by making these illegal next month

I mean, they contain mercury so I kinda get it I GUESS

I took some cool green photos that I'm really happy with and showed them at a photography social. People thought they were cool.

If you shoot phoenix film without a fluorescent correction filter old tube lights will turn bright green. It's all a bit surreal.

A family member of my partner's has been part of a campaign for more visibility on endo and her stories are harrowing.

She's done an inspiring job, I certainly wouldn't know much about endo without her work.

I was outraged when she said about being told "have you tried having kids to fix it?"

People would literally rather burn down the ten trees and waste a swimming pool's worth of water for an answer rather than read a fucking web page and actually learn something.

The AI companies will have a lot to answer for

it's not the greggs ones, but a few years back the algorithm was relentlessly suggesting me giant human sized cushions in the shape of a bloomer loaf

We've been extremely busy at work for the past few months and so I haven't had time to look at random rightmove houses, so thanks for supplying the goods

An old stone hall behind an old stone wall. Photo taken in infrared, so the leaves on the trees are bright white.

Feels strange to have an infrared photo without a pitch black sky

A misty plateau with visibility around 20m. The photo is taken in infrared so penetrated the mist more than you could actually see in person.

It was great for photos, but maybe not the ideal when we'd gone hiking for the views 😅
