this is the correct size and shape for a pickup

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

This 5-minute game is extremely well made. Stripped to bare essentials, it delivers a poignant message. It was also scary. Recommended to me by @vhgj.bsky.social ncase.itch.io/wbwwb

TIME Person of the year is bad enough, but Adolf got that too. Nobel prize? In what world? The best we can offer is a tribunal in The Hague for crimes against humanity.

5000 kelvin on my right cheek. 3000 kelvin on my left cheek. Which means that black&white conversion is the way to go here. #LargeFormat #Photography Charles Korn 300mm Petzval lens. (Also: why is the B&W JPEG not 3x smaller? JPEG does not do one channel images?)

Whatever this is, it’s fabulous, and I’m sold.

My wife is an excellent baker! #LargeFormat image. 🍞🎥 19th century #Petzval lens of 300mm focal length by Charles Korn. I like how the lens was able to resolve the Japanese script on the blade.

Ultra #LargeFormat #Photography, titled "Homework." Taken with the magical Charles Korn 300mm Petzval lens. The depth-of-field seems to be a centimeter or so. Shutter was 1 second. Such a dream-like lens; delicately painted light.

#LargeFormat self-portrait with 19th century Charles Korn 300mm #petzval lens. Not bad for manual focus. Maybe 2mm further would have been better, but this will do.

Zuck, Musk, Ellison, Altman are literally every mad scientist in 1960s films. Except they’re not scientists, and they’re not hot like Vincent Price.

My favorite shot from the recent trip to upstate New York. A successful outdoor photo with the Voigtlander Petzval lens from 1850, mounted to a Speed Graphic for the focal plane shutter. 190mm, F3.7, 1/50, Ortho Litho film #antiquePhotography #largeFormat #filmPhotography #blackAndWhite

The most surprising photo from a week in upstate New York. An antique sleigh in an old barn, lit by gaps in the barn walls. Shot with my Petzval from 1850 on a 4x5 Speed Graphic camera. 190mm f3.7, 3 seconds, Ortho Litho film. Df96 monobath. #antiquePhotography #largeFormat #FilmPhotography

Ooh! The package from India arrived, with solid brass lettering. No better way to add that 19th century flair to your #LargeFormat camera build. Shout-out to Robin Home Decor from Uttarakhand. The USD$5 per letter feels like a steal. www.robinhomedecor.com

Gundlach-Manhatten Portrait Lens F:4 (11x14) has been adapted to my Ultra #LargeFormat camera. I look forward to use it for portraits. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEqs...

HERMAGIS ANASTIGMAT 210mm / 4.5 is the widest lens I have ever used on my Abracam. It does not cover in the least, but I still find it a treat to use, and can produce good results. Any French-speaking #LargeFormat photographers who may know what SIE.L means? (or: S|E.L perhaps?)

Well over a century old: Gundlach-Manhattan Series B Portrait lens. It had fungus and was very hard to open up. But with a rubber strap wrench to open it and some 3% hydrogen peroxide to treat it, I won the battle! Historic #LargeFormat lens from New York ready for use again. (Still needs a flange.)

Hello, Trixie! That was quite the painless upgrade. All I had to do is edit apt sources and rename bookworm to trixie. Blindingly fast upgrade too, thanks to fiber Internet connection. #Debian #Linux

Hello, 1926 lens.... meet your 2025 camera... C. P. Goerz Apochromat Artar 19" on Abracam 16x16" Ultra #LargeFormat camera. This focal length should be a good match for the camera, albeit with small f/11 aperture. #VintageLens #Photography #NewLensDay #99YearsLater

Unnamed antique projection lens. Front group is apparently cemented, with the cement very close to the plano side.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

I am boycotting #SIGGRAPHAsia 2026 because it will be in Malaysia, where there are serious safety concerns for the LGBTQ+ members of our community, thereby excluding them. I will not attend, submit my work to, or perform any reviews for SIGGRAPH Asia 2026. Yet, I'm excited about #SIGGRAPHAsia 2025!

@bananaft.bsky.social How's this for dreamcore? I got a large weird-ass $25 lens off eBay. Two elements only (identical) and almost no contrast, held it up to my camera body. Low-Fidelity, and I can only focus near, but a rather unique look?

I mounted an extremely rare 19th century lens (Charles Korn 300mm) onto my DIY digital-hybrid 16x16" #LargeFormat camera for some #antiquePhotography. The self-portrait is cropped a lot, as the image circle is far too small. 500mm focal length would be better. 2x speedlight flash units.

A 19th century brass retaining ring with a 21st century brass hex-bolt. I still have to mount it, but I am stoked with the Petzval lens that I got from French eBay. Being quadrilingual is an advantage for composing searches. "Objectif en Laiton" "Messing objektiv" "Koperen lens" #photography
