So, I found my film log! I will be working on digitizing it here: Film Log

I love liminal spaces, and I've made a new gallery page here: Liminal Spaces

Continuing my thoughts and research from yesterday, there is a feature of my camera that I haven't used much, called Live Composite. It's a very interesting feature that uses a base exposure, then composites new light sources onto that exposure. The end result is a long exposure photo, even in places where this would not be practical (like a brightly lit beach, perhaps?). I will still need the 10 stop ND filter even with this technique though.

Here's a good article on using live composite for light trails: Multiple exposure shooting – trying the Olympus live composite mode — Anthony Baines Photography

And this article shows some of the challenges faced while using live composite:

Looking at this article from Robin Wong) it appears that LC won't be the most useful technique for the beach. If you look at the first star trail image over water, the water still has quite a lot of texture, even though this is a "40 minute" exposure. I think it is because the camera uses a base image, instead of blending many different images.

I haven't been active on Instagram for a long time now. It seems to me that posting on IG is like screaming into the void. I was getting almost no engagement on that platform, and it brought me no happiness. Honestly making these couple of blog posts has been more fulfilling for me than a dozen IG posts, even though those posts are of my photography!

I started posting on IG to get recognition of my photography. I felt that Flickr was dying, so it seemed to make sense to switch. I wish I hadn't. Flickr had its problems, but I did like their communities.

Anyways, here's an article that got me thinking about this: Is it Farewell to Instagram in 2026?

I've been posting on Pixelfed, which reminds me a lot of what old Instagram was, but I think most of my energy is going to be focused on this blog and my YouTube channel (Which is currently empty).
