Yesterday's kayaking journey included me shooting infrared film. Holy smokes, it's not easy as I can't see through the lens filter, and the kayak is constantly drifting. Shot on Rollei IR 400 with my Nikon FM2n. #believeinfilm #photography #filmphotography
Yesterday, I shot 6 sheets of Delta 100 in 4x5. They were all crap photos so here's a digital shot of something completely different. Ha.

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've seen:
1. Tool
2. Tribe Called Quest/ Beastie Boys
3. Dinosaur Jr.
4. The Hives
5. Social Distortion
Honestly, I used to go to lots of concerts so it's all a mixed bag of music. Also, Social Distortion is the only show I've ever been kicked out of in my life

Sunrise and coffee at the oceanfront. A cold front came through last night so there was a salty sweet chill in the air. Happy Thanksgiving to those who partake.

My jalapeños made it to Thanksgiving. So, I expect to cook up some fresh ones tomorrow. Next challenge will be having papers for Christmas. Think I'll have any? PS, my bananas are still active.

Methods of distraction include wigging out over the hidden details of nature. Proven effective time and again!
Unrelated pro tip: There's only one way to host Thanksgiving, and that is to do as much as possible in advance.

Today's shower soundtrack: The Smiths' Hatful of Hollow album. Sheer excellence in modern rock. The edit on this album allows the band to explore a bit and shine over idiots voice. I like his voice BTW but he is terrible.

Today's shower soundtrack: Gin Blossoms's 1992 New Miserable Experience. The melancholy album late November deserves. My old boss at the record store wore out this album when it came debuted #albumoftheday

Coffee, Grape Ape, 3 mile walk in the woods of First Landing State Park. Bliss.
-------------------
I was feeling down this morning and knew this would be the best pick me up. Also, it's really nice outside. 65 degrees in the morning with dappled light through the clouds.

A bit of autumn flowers on this house's fence gate. I need to get out today with my camera. It's its not raining or cold, and it's November. I know weather this time of year cannot be taken for granted. #50mmproject #photography

A4 I share my photos with Bluesky, Instagram, and Tiktok. I still find a lot of usefulness with Instagram for local photographers. It's how I've met people and continue to do so. #photochat

Q4: How do you market or share your work?

A2 my November challenge is 50mm. I am using only digital with my Nikon Z8 and the 50mm 1.8 s glass. After this month, I will decide my next challenge. Maybe December will be expired color film.

I would say that 90% of my photography is based on my coffee consumption in the morning. I get motivated and jump in the car so there's little planning at play. The other 10% are ideas I have floating in my head on for vacations. I do have objectives on the 90% so not all winging it. #photochat
Welcome to November's BSKY #photochat! Let's get the conversation going. Remember to put the hashtag in your response.
Q1: Excluding everyday snapshots / cell phone photos do you primarily plan your photoshoots in advance or capture moments spontaneously? Or both?

With the hemp ban, I take it seeds will become difficult to find. Maybe need to stock up over the course of the next year with regular instead of feminized seeds.
