He Wanders Around 📷

A slow shutter speed shot of an angel statue with trees blowing in the storm winds behind it, giving the trees movement and blur (painterly style) while the statue remains still and sharp.

Angel in the Storm - for #Stunday - dragged myself to the cemetary hoping for painterly trees. Did it work?

(You kinda need to open this one fully to see it properly.)

Odin the cat, snoozing in his cat tree.

I know I'm posting cats too much, but I've not been in a great place with being able to get out with the camera. Hopefully more opportunities soon.

Are you going to cover Back to the Dawn at any point, @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social? Either on a ZP or in a Yahtzee Tries? I dunno why, but I feel like it's one you'd like.

Me too. Solidarity sister. Hope you get through it.

It makes me sad how cars just don't look interesting anymore. I would love to see more stuff that looks like this, or old vintage Cadillacs, etc. just with all the mod-cons and safety features we should now expect.

Give me a 1980s Pontiac Firebird over the latest Audi Bubble anyday, looks-wise.

That's beautiful work!

Looking forward to getting back on the horse and joining in with this sort of stuff again!

A statue of an angel in a cemetery, facedown as if it's just given up.

Hello #photographersofbluesky - I've been away as life has been a wee bit mad, but on my way back (albeit slowly). Have you missed me?

Here's a faceplanting #angel taken on my #Pentax film camera in #blackandwhite

(Still not done moving house - I actually don't even know where my #cameras are! They're in the maze of boxes somewhere...)

A bumblebee explores a flower.

In the process of packing up to move house next weekend - #stress, so going to be away for a bit. Please don't forget me!

In the meantime, here's a Buzzy Fuzzy for #stunday

Picture 4 is where I work! :D

Thankfully only a few streets, although to a smaller place, so that adds the whole "get rid of all the stuff!!!" wrinkle to the fabric. Between this & the new baby, it's a crazy introduction to the world of adulting at 44 years old! 😁 Photo-taking time is now 100% at a premium. Twenty sugars pls!

I love how timeless this is. It could pretty much have been taken at any time over the last few decades!

Moving house in 10 days' time, so in that "OH GOD IT'S SO SOON!" phase where we're having a minor panic that we've not actually started packing anything yet. EEEEEEEEEEK! :D

Thank you! :)

Vanishing Point.

Feels very Murakami! Lovely shot.

That's appalling. Why are people just such unrelenting assholes? :(

Oh dear, that sounds fun. Especially for someone who models without a lot of clothes on! Worst we really have here are "midges" which are like mini Scottish mosquitos. They'll eat you alive, but you at least see them coming!

This is disappointing, and will quite possibly kill BlueSky as a going concern in the UK as I'd imagine a lot of users won't want to be doing this just to use a social media platform.

A Chuzhao M1 (stock image).

I've come SO close to getting a Camp Snap on several occasions, but I ended up deciding to take a different tack and going for the "Chuzhao M1" instead as a toy camera. It's like a tiny little Rolliflex camera and just gorgeous even sitting on a shelf. Top-down shooting is fun as well! Recommend it!

I have to ask... what on earth is a "chigger" - is this a local name for something specific where you are? Sounds nasty!
