My little Kawasaki on a trip out to the Kiski river (behind in this photo). It was July, and the last trip before an extensive service which took me forever to accomplish. #photography
Ocean Village, Southampton, about 1030 pm on a Summer night. This a stacked exposure run through CS3's HDR tool to bring out a bit more range. I remember grabbing a pint at the bar behind me after this...#photography
This is later, in the 'blue hour', the sun has gone down and there's not much light left. Luminance rendered this one a bit less naturally but it still captures the vibe I wanted. #photography
Again the same spot, but I borrowed my dad's tripod and did some stacked exposures which I then ran through Luminance, a FOSS tone mapper to get a fuller dynamic range in the image. I like the effect and It still looks natural. This is sunset, hence the lighting on the mountain (Veleta is the name) #photography
This was from the same spot, but back in November 2007, with a Canon 300D which was my first DSLR. The kit lens did really well on that camera. #photography
He doesn't get clear of the bike, which remains a big danger in bike racing. A similar accident injured a good friend of mine at a track day. She was in hospital for six weeks with a badly broken shoulder and upper arm. Had the bike landed a little further, it would have killed her.
Pol Espergaro probably out for the whole weekend after this nasty drop in free practice. #MotoGP
@yngmar I remember August in the south, driving south from the Sierra Nevada and the rise in humidity at the coast was fearsome.
Today in 1943, 80 years ago: The Legend of the Great Judo is successfully released in Japan, the first film directed by Akira Kurosawa.
@Gelatinousrube You are delightfully bonkers
@yngmar I like April in Spain. It's very agreeable. Cool nights and pleasant days.
@aral Thanks for continuing to support it, I'm certain it means a lot to people.
@aral I was talking to one of our post Grads the other day; she's an actual genius but can't get along with anything but Windows, for her it's just a tool she needs as far out of the way as possible in order to work, and Windows is good at that. Everyone I meet has been using it since they learnt computers. And Microsoft knows it.
Commentary free walkthrough of the new Titanic HG project 401 demo. Absolutely incredible what they've achieved.

@aral The Aral hug of doom
@HebrideanHecate "Internet arsehole" is not, and should not, be a job.
@HebrideanHecate This is also all he does now. That's a giant red flag to me.
@HebrideanHecate His comedy was brilliant, he's just an arsehole 🤷
FOSS, motorbikes, and photography.
