Washed up boat in English Bay.
This is a pretty common sight on the beaches around here after winter storms, and it's always kind of sad to see - but makes for some unique photos at least.

Another macro bug - with a very small depth of field, because it was moving around too much for me to close the aperture more (which would mean I'd need a slower shutter speed, creating motion blur).
This is a beetle in the genus Ellychnia, which is actually a kind of firefly - but since they're diurnal instead of nocturnal, they don't glow like other fireflies. I think they still look pretty unique though!

Flat backed millipede and springtail in Stanley Park!
Catching the millipede while it was sitting still was probably the most difficult part of this - it kept running around and making my photos blurry.

Zebra jumping spider!
This was on a sign in Stanley Park, Vancouver.
Getting into photographic tiny creatures is one of the big reasons I got a macro lens. Turns out it's pretty tricky to do well (especially since I don't have a flash right now), but I thought these shots turned out at least ok!

More long exposure NYC subway photos!
The moving trains and combination of standing and moving people makes this kind of longer-exposure photography a lot of fun to do.

Equipment: Fujifilm X-S10 with XF 30mm F2.8 Macro
Editing: JPGs straight out of camera, with custom Fujifilm film simulation color parameters

NY subways (pt. 7 in this series of posts)
Coming from Vancouver with our functional but very limited couple of Skytrain lines, seeing an actually-complete subway network for the first time was an eye-opening experience.
It was also a lot of fun to take longer-exposure photos in the somewhat dim stations. There's a lot more where these came from, so follow along if that sounds interesting!

View from the One World Trade Centre observatory! (New York pt. 6)
This place had amazing views of the entire city - and with my telephoto lens, so many different areas to explore from a distance.
If this trip did one thing for me, it gave me a renewed desire to play Cities: Skylines 2

Concorde Cockpit.
I wish I could spend hours in here. I'm obsessed with all the buttons, gauges, and switches. When's someone going to make a PC interface that looks like this?

New York - part 3!
This is the British Airways Concorde located at the Intrepid Museum in Manhattan. Much like the Space Shuttle Enterprise also located at this museum, the concorde was a marvel of engineering - but one which sadly didn't actually make enough economic or logistical sense to keep flying.

Camera: Fujifilm X-S10
Lenses: Fuji XF 30mm F2.8 Macro / Minolta 70-210mm F4

Wooden dragon head!
This was my first real project learning to use ZBrush and Substance Painter, from a few years ago. These are re-renders - I re-did the materials for the eyes, improved the lighting, and edited them in Lightroom. Still not a huge difference, but slightly more presentable than before.

Macro Mushrooms!
It's not exactly mushroom right now, but I was able to find these small ones in Stanley Park anyway. I'm still learning to make good macro photos/edits - I wasn't as happy as I had hoped with either of these, but hopefully they're still interesting!
(People who know things about macro, please leave your feedback in the comments - would love to improve)

Visiting New York - part 1
This city is really exactly how you’d expect it to be. These photos are unedited, because I thought the Fujifilm JPG colours already looked pretty good out of camera (it’s a mix of the Classic Chrome film simulation mode and a couple custom colour/contrast parameters)

If you haven't been following along: I removed the anti-pink filter from the camera, and now everything's pink.

Don't worry, the camera is now safely back together and in one piece - well, minus two screws. Hope those weren't important.

(Also I'm kidding, it was an infrared filter, so what you're seeing is stuff that's bright in infrared showing up as pink)

Believe it or not, this tank is not actually bright pink - but shooting without the infrared-blocking filter that most cameras have built in tends to yield unexpected results.
Although most materials aren't particularly bright in infrared and appear more or less normal, certain pigments, materials, and living things (like all plants) reflect brightly, which shows up as pink in photos.

More infrared!
Just like the ominous sign in my previous infrared post, I feel like this building does a good job matching the semi-surreal vibe which this kind of photography invites.
Any ideas for other things to photograph in infrared?

Camera: Lumix FZ35 converted for infrared
Editing: white balance correction and basic brightness/contrast fixes in Lightroom

Happy Valentines day!
I happened upon these deer while on a walk, and they seemed too distracted with each other to care that I was making photos.
I actually took these back in 2022 (but re-edited them more recently)

Should I be worried?

I converted a Lumix FZ35 to shoot infrared by taking it apart and removing the IR filter that blocks it out in most cameras, and this is the result.
It's really interesting to see what materials are bright in infrared and which ones aren't.
