I'm lucky enough to have a ticket for You Me Bum Bum Train tonight. I didn't know anything about it. I still don't really. I read a tiny amount about it and I am now a bit anxious about it. Not being much of an extrovert, it's going to be... interesting..

Rottweiler in the park so avoiding it. Not because there’s anything wrong with it, seems friendly, but this little guy will act friendly then try and fight it 🙄 Small dog syndrome..

#photography people: What are your thoughts on street photography that includes people's faces?

the tesla protest might objectively be among the most successful in history already just in terms of immediate response, if you consider they forced the world’s most powerful person & its most wealthy to fully degrade themselves like used car salesmen on live TV while the whole world watched agog.

London people: How safe would you say openly carrying around a camera is in the evening / early night in central London? Busy areas only. I’ve read about people having their mobile snatched, camera would have a wrist or neck strap, so couldn’t be easily taken.

What’s the difference between “having a problem” and “starting a collection”? 🤔 Peak Design Everyday Backpack, K&F Alpha, Wandrd Prvke Peak Design Everyday Sling 6L, LowePro 250, DJI Sling, Wandrd Rogue 6L They’re all used for different things you see.. #photography

Started watching Dark Matter solely based on the main character wearing the same backpack I’ve got, and TIL I should make more decisions like this. It’s dumb fun SciFi weirdness. Any shows feature people wearing slim fit cargo trousers from Next?

Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating. This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens. (Even better: Tesla will hate this)

Having a real brain-breaking implicit vs explicit processing problem with some code+physics+maths. I intuitively understand the solution, unless I think about it too much, then my brain short-circuits and it’s hard to break it down into chunks.

Any #biologists know what this is on a thistle in my garden? 🤔 Eggs? Fungi? Microplastics? a little more context in the thread..

Rose hips. Rio kindly let me stop for a few seconds to take a quick snap. Still getting used to the new macro lens, the shallow DoF is quite a challenge. #macro #photography

This week's column asks a question that should be in everyone's minds, as Trump reshapes the world's alliances: How, given that our defence and security capacities are completely infiltrated by the US state, do we defend ourselves if the US becomes our opponent? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Progress with C++ on the @pimoroni.com Presto tonight. Settled on a 480x240 screen double buffer to avoid complex PSRAM shenanigans and wrote a graphics library method to scale my circles back to round. 100 bouncing balls at almost 24fps, butter smooth. Random seed off a floating ADC.

Lunchtime macro focus stacking experiment. Any ideas what those tiny white filaments are? 🤔 #macro #focusstacking #photography

One problem with the Flashes app is that the Discover feed seems to show all images - whether that’s memes, political, etc - so doesn’t really feel like a #photography focussed app. Unless there’s a way to change this that I’ve missed?

Another photo-sharing app. Which is going to get traction? I like @fotoapp.co, but will give @flashes.blue a go too - I’m @iestynphotos.bsky.social

Hey #unity XR devs, any recommendations for a 3rd party debug UI with extensible UI controls? Don’t want to build my own uGUI one if there’s something already good out there

I wish there was a way to toggle on/off all the incredibly depressing news coming out from the US. It's everywhere. I want to know what's going on, but would be super nice to filter it out easily. If there was a way to toggle mute on words / topics per list or something, that would work

Bangkok, Phetchaburi Rd. Surprised at how safe Bangkok felt. Had my camera out all day and night in the most hectic areas. Absolutely would not do that in Brighton or London. #photography #thailand
