Okay, so is anyone else like me in that I have different sets of headphones / IEMs for different genres of music? I wouldn't class myself as an #audiophile, but I can appreciate the different tonalities of different sets of headphones / IEMs which match certain genres better than others. Or […]

Just wondering if anyone else is feeling a little burnt out from all the #SocialMedia platforms there are nowadays. I'm just feeling tired of having to play on so many different platforms. I've recently just been concentrating on #Instagram recently, but I still feel Instagram lacks the […]

Went into my garden today with the #OM1MarkII and the #OMSystem 100-400 mm f/5-6.3 beast to see how it would do when shooting the moon using the tripod high res mode at 80 megapixels. It gives a lot of latitude for cropping without losing too much […] [Original post on mstdn.wherehowardgoes.com]

Picked up the OM 100-400 mm f/5-6.3 beast during the amazing 35 per cent off refurbished sale which #OMSystem did at the beginning of the year, and decided to see what it could do now that I finally have a clear night with a sliver of the waxing […] [Original post on mstdn.wherehowardgoes.com]

Are there anyone into #skiing here? Would love to get to know some of you, especially if you might be willing to answer stupid questions from someone starting to get into skiing!

Question for those who have a bit of know-how on #Windows11. I have this random white overlay over the right portion of my screen which I can't work out how to get rid of. Does anyone have any ideas please?

I might be doing an indoor #photography assignment shoot tomorrow. I actually want to just bring my Olympus E-P7 with a 25 mm f/1.8 and the 45 mm f/1.8 Am I a bit crazy?! LOL.

Revisiting and re-editing this shot of hikers on the Sólheimajökull glacier in southern Iceland as I consider whether this is the shot to enter into the landscape category of the National Geographic 2025 travel photography competition. #Travel […] [Original post on mstdn.wherehowardgoes.com]

ワクワク。今週は日本に飛行機のチケットを買いました。

I really HATE these online AI chat bots which you have to get through before you can chat to a real person!

Doing more tests as to how viable #Darktable actually is in my #photography workflow. Here is a shot of #BigBen at night shot with the #Olympus #OMSystem E-P7 with the 45mm f/1.8. It's actually not done too badly at all. I am slowly contemplating […] [Original post on mstdn.wherehowardgoes.com]

Decided to revisit an older photo I shot with #Darktable. I think I can genuinely get used to using Darktable as my RAW editor in my #photography workflow. Here's a shot of the main archway of the entrance of #Strasbourg Cathedral with two lone […] [Original post on mstdn.wherehowardgoes.com]

I decided to give #Darktable a try again, editing the RAW of my shot of the #MilkyWay and #aurora above Yellowknife, Canada. Thanks to @lechindianer linking me to a really good denoising tutorial, I think I'm actually quite okay with this edit […] [Original post on mstdn.wherehowardgoes.com]

I tried #Darktable on my shot of the Milky Way above Yellowknife but it didn't end very well. BUT I did manage to find a new #photography workflow without using Adobe or Capture One that seems to be okay at denoising and getting me the right […] [Original post on mstdn.wherehowardgoes.com]

I was looking to enter an earlier edit of this shot into the Nat Geo travel #photography competition for the landscape category, but realised I couldn't as that photo was stacked and then had still foreground merged back into the image, which would […] [Original post on mstdn.wherehowardgoes.com]

Oh #CaptureOne, why are you doing this to the #photography community?

I recently picked up my first ever M43 camera in the form of the #OMSystem #OM-1MarkII with the 12-40 mm f/2.8 lens. Having shot with full frame for a long time now, it was so refreshing to have a lighter gear set. I then decided to randomly pick up a #PenEP7 with the 25 mm f/1.8. It is so […]

I’ve entered the LCE Photographer of the Year 2025 competition with one of my favourite shots from Canada in the "After Dark" category! 🌌 📸 There’s also a "People’s Choice"decided by public voting. If you like my shot, you can cast your vote […] [Original post on mstdn.wherehowardgoes.com]

Am trying to remember how long has it been since I did any travelling / travel #photography without a full frame camera. At the airport waiting for my next #adventure with only my phones and an #OMSystem #OM1MarkII. Will I miss my full frame set up? Watch this space!

Absolutely hilarious. I keep seeing videos on #TikTok from people in EU and Commonwealth countries saying how when the Americans were couldn't get on for a day or two, the content was suddenly noticeably nicer during that period. 🤣 😝

I feel quite good about myself right now LOL. Good bye, #Adobe! Will by finding other editing programs to put my #photography through now.

I filter my feeds to keep from being overwhelmed by politcal news, and I have a couple requests: • Use politicians' real names. I can't keep up with every joke name. • If joke names are critical to your vibe, please add a tag like #USPol to the post • Include the politician's name in your […]

@pixelfed Hi Pixelfed team. I was wondering if there's an administration setting to delete content after a certain period of time. For example, I have my Mastodon server set up to delete posts after 3 months. Does Pixelfed have anything like that please? I am interested in also having a […]

#Instagram's AI thinks I'm carrying out suspicious activities on my account because I have been interacting with lots of people and they have followed me as a result. But the AI thinks that I bought all those followers. If you happen to have #Instagram, would you mind watching this short reel […]

LOL I guess #Instagram didn't like it that I was more effective at building my own community than paying them for ads. 🤣 😝

LOL so having had time to actually properly interact with people over these past couple of days on #Instagram, the algorithm thinks my new spate of activities is due to the fact that I am using a "service" to gain likes and followers! Apparently […] [Original post on mstdn.wherehowardgoes.com]

@welshpixie Hey how are you? Hope you had a good Christmas and new year. Have entered this shot into a photo comp but they also have a "People's Choice" category. If you like this shot, wondering if you wouldn't mind giving me a vote please. 🙇 🙏 […]

Hi all, I've entered my shot of the Milky Way, Andromeda Galaxy, and the aurora borealis near Yellowknife into the #LondonCameraExchange #photography competition. There's a "people's choice" award. If you like this shot, I'd be really grateful if […] [Original post on mstdn.wherehowardgoes.com]

#Instagram on mobile now displays feeds using a 4:5 aspect ratio preview grid. Instagram on desktop continues to use 1:1 aspect ratio. *Sigh* This is annoying to trying to work out a way to properly display the feed as a preview.

POV: discovering enough #aurora photos on my OM-1 Mark II to make a few little time lapse clips. If you have #Instagram, please consider supporting me there by watching the whole 24-second video and engaging by liking and commenting […] [Original post on mstdn.wherehowardgoes.com]

Yes, full frame cameras perform better in low night than crop sensor cameras, but the real question is do you actually NEED a full frame camera to capture beautiful photos of the night sky? Answer: nope. #WhereHowardGoes #NightSky #OMSystem […] [Original post on mstdn.wherehowardgoes.com]

A shot of the night sky taken with the 8 mm fisheye lens of the night sky. The shot features (among other things) the #MilkyWay, the #AndromedaGalaxy and the red and green hues of a weaker display of the #AuroraBorealis. 📷 #OMSystem #OM1MarkII 🔭 […] [Original post on mstdn.wherehowardgoes.com]
