Perhaps it’s time for introductions!
Hi I’m Pixel (they/them) and I love photography! In the past year, I’ve been experimenting with 35mm film and it’s been super fun. Film or digital, I just like to capture pretty scenes in the world around me. Keen to connect with other photographers out there!

The water is calm, cleanly reflecting the blue skies and small island in the upper half of the frame. The rocks on the sides of the water pool are greenish, being covered in moss. Near the camera where the reflections fade out, underwater plants can be seen through the water.

Scenes around Wellington near sunset. Carlton Flats and Tanera Park.

The lighting on this evening was really lovely. But sometimes I think I rely on golden hour a bit too much 😅

Trying out this interesting film stock which was apparently used for aerial-mapping photography. I really love how the blue tones of the sky and water turned out

Some red hollyhock flowers in the decorated streets of Akaroa

Getting used to metering with a polariser and this photo ended up a bit overexposed. Still I think it turned out fine!

💛Nonbinary & Trans Sapphics🤍

Nonbinary is infinitely gender-expansive. It’s not some neutral 3rd gender, but an umbrella that covers a whole spectrum ranging from femme to masc to agender & abinary genders. So many nonbinary folks can be sapphic!

Also, obviously,

Trans women are women.
