#BlueSkyArtShow #Quiet #photography

An ethereal image of waterfowl on a lake. The water looks more like an impressionist painting than a photograph. The colors on the water are a muted blend of yellow and orange. The waterfowl is tiny.

FOUND THEM!! They were packed away in a tote. Now to track down my Canon AE1… #filmphotography

A phone snap of an Olympus OMG, not too badly scuffed up. A classic film camera from the 1980/1990s

A phone snap of an Olympus OMPC film camera, well loved but functional.

My first submission for #shittycamerachallenge. From the Duaflex 620 point and shoot. This film has been sitting around for who knows how long. Plus I still have ridiculously expired Verichrome Pan on 620 spools sitting around. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

A classic Toyota 100 truck parked in front of a water tower. Pic is in black and white. Trees are in full foliage.

Different view of the water tower, in black and white, went a little heavy with the darkening tool.

Pic of the Greenbelt Police station. The sign in front the station announces the police station.

An art deco style building. The center of the pic shows the gentle curve of the corner of the building. This particular city center was part of FDR’s New Deal. I believe this is the last of the New Deal towns left in America.

Are they kidding?! There is no way in bloody heck I am working for $16 per year. My dead ex worked for them many years ago, and what it seems is they have sold to a private equity firm. That tracks with the pay rate they are showing. #jobhunting

A job listing showing the pay as $16 per YEAR

For context, this is a different tab, same computer. Only Chrome is set to super tiny view, the rest of the pewter is in regular view.

Karen Harrison@ratsrule67· May 26

Somehow I accidentally changed something while researching the value of my instruments and cameras. Anyone know how to put it to “normal”?

Karen Harrison@ratsrule67· May 25

Infuriating things from the job hunt front. I have uploaded my freaking resume to this site, and they still cannot extrapolate what I am looking for from search terms AND resume. #jobhunting #thingsthatpissmeoff #timetotouchgrass

#BlueSkyArtShow. #Morning. #photography

A foggy morning in a valley between White Sulphur Springs and Cass WV. The sun is barely visible off to the top right. There are some building silhouettes visible in the mist. The whole scene is peaceful with a soft orange glow.

The orchid is from the Carmax manager, the cake is from my boss. (GM of Carquest) the card from the Carmax manager was really sweet and heartfelt.

Yellow orchid with purple center sitting in a breakroom.

A cake decorated with balloons. White icing; balloons are blue, orange, pink, green, and yellow. There is also a large knife that has cut a rather large portion of the cake.

A pic of a backyard covered in snow. The bamboo is bent over the ground due to the weight of the snow. The snow is not deep, just wet and heavy.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Two #Horses #Photography Have to repost this due to a typo in the original post. @gloriousalliance.bsky.social Can you tell me the color of the horse on the right? Dun and buckskin doesn’t really fit, so maybe dilute bay or chestnut?

A picture of two mounted police on their horses. The horses are displaying attitude with ear and head position. The horse on the right is a Dun/buckskin or a dilute bay/chestnut. The horse on the left is a bay.

#filmphotography #homedarkroom #oldschool I bought the unopened box, seller threw in the opened box for free. Yes, I know I need a 13 safelight filter to handle this paper. My dad used to do color printing eons ago.

A picture of a package of Kodak Panalure paper. Yellow background, black box with a white patch for identifying information.

So chuffed that I got this pic! It was really cold and windy out, but so worth it. #wildlife #photography #waterfowl

A picture of a hooded merganser. The image is a bit underexposed, making it look moody. The bird appreas to be looking side eye at the camera. The bird is at a slight angle pointing toward the camera. It’s eye is a glowing gold color.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Holiday #fisheye #photography

A fish eye view of the inside of the B&O rail museum in Baltimore, Maryland. There are a couple of polar bear statues, plus the lighted Christmas tree and the classic dome ceiling visible in the picture. In the background are the trains that reside inside the museum. There are many more trains than these, some are outside, and the rest in another building.

#shittycamerachallenge Canon Sureshot Owl Kodak XX Yet another try at intentional reticulation, I don’t think it works that well with XX. #believeinfilm #filmphotography #monochrome

Black and white image of a water tower and part of a house.

A black and white image of a human skeleton Nd a dog skeleton sitting on steps.

A black and white image of a shed to the left, a sign saying no outlet middle left, and a barrier to the right that appears to have a disgruntled face. The trees are bare due to winter. The scene is lonely and stark.

#BlueSkyArtShow #FavoriteThings I love taking two completely unrelated things and creating an image that would never happen in nature. Both of the original pictures were taken by me. Edited with GIMP.

A composite picture of a Great Blue Heron standing in front of a Christmas light display. The display is at the Mormon temple in Kensington Maryland.

Karen Harrison@ratsrule67· Dec 13

#BlueSkyArtShow #FavoriteThings #photography Surprise, Kodak Retinas are my favorite thing. This pic was done just for a contest in a Kodak Retina lovers group. The Retinas I usually use are folders, rarely the Reflexes.

The math doesn’t match. I don’t quite believe either one, but I think the apple health one might be closer to truth. #technology #technologylies

A digital display from Apple Health showing 233 active calories burned and 1155 resting energy.

A digital watch display that shows 6:30, 10538 steps and 518 calories burned.

My work computer background has photo. So far a favorite. #cows #highlandcows #animals

A phone pic of a computer background photo of a highland cow in classic chestnut color. Highland cows have long fur and long horns. The fur usually covers their face and ends around the top of the nose. Highland cows are the most magnificent cows.

Still didn’t get the effect I was aiming for. The developer cooled to room temperature in roughly 5 minutes. #believeinfilm #filmphotography #oldschoolphotography

A black and white image of a pumpkin decorated with candy corn and googly eyes to resemble a very overweight hedgehog.

A late surprise bloom of a lily. Done in black and white, and a bit grainy due to film.

A black and white picture of a pumpkin decorated as Pikachu from Pokemon fame. It is a bit over exposed.
