@carusb It’s a long way, to Tipperary
@kaiser_franz For some reason that was a filtered notification!?
@carusb Oh no, did I accidentally press a button? 🤣
@kaiser_franz Turns out I wasn't following you; I guess the route you took, moving to pixelfed then opening a new account on infosec, meant you lost followers. Still following the pixelfed one, now following the infosec one. But there must be another explanation, my filters should not have fired.

@carusb thank you - something definitely happened. I went from 60 or so to 0 (now more) throughout the migrations, which to be clear I don't care about the count, but there's a lot of people I enjoy having conversations with.

My understanding is the migration between Mastodon and Pixelfed is imperfect, so that's where the breakdown seems to have happened.

Oh well! Worse things have happened to better people

@carusb great shot! Do you think a yellow filter is enough to have our would you recommend other colors too?
@carusb It’s a long way, to Tipperary
@kaiser_franz For some reason that was a filtered notification!?
@kaiser_franz The pub is literally a long wy from any sizable settlement, which is one of the reasons for its demise (plus the drink driving laws).
@carusb I'm impressed! Doing this stuff on digital is much easier. You see the results instantly and can tweak things. With film, you don't have that luxury.
@tapasinthesun Yes, it's a real lottery. And being expensive means I don't try so often, which then means I can't quite remember which moves work out! Strangely, some of my very earliest efforts in ICM were the best; expired Reala 100 might have had something to do with that!
@carusb That's very interesting, I like it!
@elkarrde Thanks Neven. It works surprisingly well. Helps that these old films can be used at such a low ISO, so with a ND8 these longer shutter speeds work in daylight, but I guess you can achieve the same on digi with more filters!
@carusb You are not only a photographer but also a painter 🧑‍🎨
@andre Thanks Andre. I do like the weirdness. These would be a LOT simpler if I used a digicam!
@carusb Interesting tree; certainly different.
@tapasinthesun I can't remember (over 50 years ago) but I suspect it broke at some point, struggled to survive and then died. It's a semi-desert area, 7 inch rainfall but mostly in a few storms.
@carusb Very lovely.
@tomnorthfilm Thanks Tom. I can't help feeling a bit of a cheat though, as I took out an entire dangling branch in that sky are top left. But this particular section of graveyard, which I might walk through several times a week on the way across to town, is irresistible at that time of year.
@carusb Looks great to me. If you knew how, you could remove things like that in the darkroom too.
@carusb That yellow filter really made the foliage pop.
@tomnorthfilm Thanks Tom. That must have been late April so they were very new leaves, and taken more or less towards the sun, which probably contributes. Some of them look almost IR, but I've not yet tried IR so maybe the effect there is different.

@carusb

J M W Turner ... looking on with appreciation.

@RobertJackson58585858 Um, thanks Robert! An ICM that worked, anyway. It's rather expensive doing them on film, and I rather regret spending a roll of Reala 100 on it. But I do like the result. There were several other interesting ones on that roll. The colours sometimes go... weird!
@carusb Good. I like it.
@joncounts Thanks Jon. Great when it works, disheartening when it doesn't! Definitely easier with digital, when you can at least see whether any attempt worked at all.
@carusb Yes, you're bold (and skilled) doing this with film. I ended up experimenting a lot more when I went to digital.
@carusb I do like the sympathetic curves.
@tapasinthesun Thanks Rom. That's what caught my eye, then the mystery of "why?". There are more of these trunks than you can see here, arranged in a ring. I couldn't work out how to photo more of it.
