I still receive a lot of comments asking why I don’t do reload videos as much anymore. Hopefully this explains everything!

I know the reloads will always be my most memorable, but if I could make a living on my photography, I’d never look back. #photography #macrophotography #marbles #shotoniphone

On my walk today, I found what effectively looked like a giant plant ball sack. I tore out a small hole in the suspiciously scrotum like shell and peered inside with my iPhone lens, revealing this awesome central core suspended by tendrils.

Nature is cool #photography #nature

I’ve worked with game engines for 15 years, I have AAA experience too. It’s insane. Makes me wish I just went into a more traditional job, because at least by now I’d have built up a stable and probably well paying career around it

I think it’s the same hole, except it’s only gotten deeper 🥲 thanks for the support man

Banjo Tooie was one of my all time favorite 64 titles along with Donkey Kong 64. I remade Pine Grove outside of Witchy World here in Unreal 4 way back in 2015. Never got to fully finish it as the project became corrupted and inaccessible. I still think about trying again from time to time…

Some more marble macros I took yesterday, just from the phone. What I hate about the iPhone is the severe blurry fringing that goes on. Won’t be a problem once I can save up for a nice lens #photography #macro #shotoniphone

Yeah I could have handled it *swings nonexistent bangs off of forehead*

lol in all seriousness these dudes are used to folks who haven’t handled full autos, I’ve shot them a few times beforehand but I wasn’t gonna argue they’re safety procedure

Agh I adjusted the one with the little red bug in HDR and it’s blown out in SDR 🥲 oh well

A bit of HDR practice — blending multiple exposures (dark, bright, and everything between) into one balanced photo where a single shot couldn’t capture the full range of light. #photography #hdr #hdrmerge #EOSR6mk2

No, it was shot at 35mm in a dark room. It’s a softball sized glass ball with air pockets in it. I used light painting via long exposure :)

I’m starting real estate photography, which allowed me to upgrade to a serious camera rig. I was able to do a lot with just an iPhone, but the ability for a long exposures alone is going to be a game changer. #canon #EOSR6Mk2 #photography
