I was going to edit my first reply to add a hash for #Deco. AFAICS you can't edit posts with bsky!!!

Happened again yesterday with Patreon, which is currently the only way to read The Online Photographer's posts. I think I'm going to turn that filter off!

Ah, missed this reply. I foundout from another member whose email address I have, that TP was in fact up and available. After a frustrating day, I eventually worked out that the Malicious Content filter on my Deco WiFi boxes had decided that TP was a malicious site and was silently blocking it!

Does anyone know why #TalkPhotography (UK photo forum) is down?

Thanks John. I'm showing some less successful images from a recent roll on Masto. It was windier & glitches were a lot less subtle, which it turns out I don't like much. Also having trouble getting believable colours in landscape areas. I don't mind them being off, but I don't want mud! But fun...

Ye Gods, I just clicked on the age verification page because of the UK's stupid OSA. Took me to KWS where'd have to give up my face or my credit card. No thanks.

I could show them the first photo (of me) taken (by a friend) with my Werra 1 in 1967 if that would help?

BTW are you bridged across to Mastodon? You'd have to follow bridgy fed (bsky.app/profile/ap.b...), once you've done that, you can follow Mastonauts who are also bridged (as I am). I think it's great, but the slightly clunky double-opt-in setup means too few people are federated!

@temlightimages.bsky.social Hi John, this is your completely anonymous postcard from afar donor this month, tracking you down to try and work out what sort of image I should send you. Slightly nerve-racking having now discovered you're a Real Photographer! Can do straight or quirky...

As well as the roll of #Adox HR-50 I used in my #PentaxMX, I also used a roll of #AdoxScala in the LX. That's gone off yesterday to the only UK lab I could find that would do BW reversal processing, www.polyfilmlabs.co.uk . I think they're small & have a longish turnround, but OK. #BelieveInFilm

Surprises: dev poured out was almost coffee-coloured! Plus the negs look weird when first seen on the spiral due to the clear base. Happy that my "new" Rondinax 35U tank's guillotine managed to cut the polyester base, so I didn't need to mess in a dark bag with scissors!

I devved #Adox HR-50 in HC-110 dilution E for 6:30 nominal in the end. Reckoned I had another roll so could try longer on that. Negs look a mix of thin and dense; reckon the thin ones were taken in a darker place in the Castle. Copied to @alexluyckxphoto.bsky.social
