Amateur photographer posting mostly landscape and night cityscape photos from #Pentax, #Olympus, and other classic digital cameras.
AI is nice, but I do not use it in any of my art. All photographs © me unless otherwise noted.
My photos are suitable for general audiences. I try to post helpful ALT text for all images. I’d like to see your favorite photos, too!

@TsubasaMFG Probably the angle of the roof and wall is so obtuse (170°) that it seems like a curve, and this perception then continues down the wall. If I hold my finger to block the roof line, the wall line looks straight.
My understanding of the DA★ 16-50 mk2 is that it has little or no barrel distortion. I hope to own this lens someday.
Water droplets for #MacroMonday . I like how the blue/gold diagonal of the bricks in the background gets reversed by the droplets.
This is a much simpler composition than the one I posted yesterday. Do you like the minimalism, or is it boring?
#Pentax K-S2 and DA 35mm F2.8 Macro Limited. ƒ/8, 1/60sec @ ISO 100.
Photographed January 2026. Thank you for looking.
@daveybot You're right! Now I remember. That was about reflections in a window. I remember seeing that shot now that you've reminded me.
My profile pic, in fact, is about a window reflection. Fisheye lens into a circular window.
@daveybot Hi there! I've been off Mastodon for the winter holidays. I don't remember this particular conversation? But I have at times encountered internal reflections. This post was taken with a cheap (but fun) lens with crazy reflections in the glass:
Here's the behind-the-shot setup. Glass plate has water droplets, and I photograph the beaded purse straight down through those droplets.
Got the idea from a Joey Terrill video a few years back via @bhphoto.com 's Optic conference.
