Today I am testing out a platform for posting once to multiple social media accounts and seeing if it works The service is Fedica. I am also currently experimenting with process the images from my recent camera purchase. I got a Leica M11M camera and it only makes Black and White images

I have decided to only follow photography related accounts with this BlueSky account as I want ti be able to see photography and not news and politics on this account and I will have to create another account to read and comment on news and politics otherwise my feed just gets to hard to read

Night time is no longer a problem with the #LeicaM11M as it is able to work up to 200,000 ISO I am happy to use it up to 50,000 iso.

Using a #LeciaM11M is quite special and I am still learning how to process the images the other day it was so wet that my cat WS not staying out for long. I love thinking in #blackandwhite

Today I am starting to share some images made with my new #Leicam11m camera, only able to make #blackandwhite images it is liberating to only think in Black and White. Sunset the detail in this image is really impressive when I see it large on my computer screen.

Tomorrow I get to pick up a new camera, I am really looking forward to using a camera that only creates Black & White images. Any ideas what I might be getting?

This looks like a great way to get a set of images into the wider world. I like this approach www.palestinephotoproject.org/Museum-in-a-...

This is truly and utterly depressing and a good indication of where we are heading with Stopping Climate destruction that is coming www.counterpunch.org/2024/12/20/h... Our leaders need to change course and we are unfortunately going to have to make them do it cos they refuse to.

This is a good read of our current capitalism is in relation to the political and economic situation www.bostonreview.net/articles/why... I have thought for a while that we need to rethink how our politics is done.

From my project on Henley Royal Regatta. Once a year I have been attending for the past 20 years now I want to make this project into a book. I am currently looking for a publisher to get this book out into the world.

I am so glad that so many photographers are now slowly moving to BlueSky it will enable it to become the community for photographers that they are so desperately looking for. Instagram, Threads, Twitter do not work for sharing images and building connections with fellow photographers.

@zolachrome.com I liked your article on Medium about Black and White photography, I am in the process of writing a post for my website on the subject and found what you wrote interesting cameralux.org/seeing-in-bl...

I am happy to say that I can now use bsky.app/michaelwplan... to get to my Bluesky account instead of the old one which was the generic one we all seem to sign up with at bsky.social

Thanks to a video by @andyhutchinson.com.au that I saw today, where I learnt that you could have a personalised handle. I have now changed my Bluesky handle to one that I am really happy with!
