It's a maudlin' kind of day www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X2_...

Finally got my head together to put together another video. Nothing special, but more of "put something up dammit" for my brain #Photography #Drone #WheelchairPhotography

Bloody hell, this happened in the same unit I spent a number of months in recovering from my AV Fistula. I cannot imagine what the patients and staff are going through. www.nine.com.au/australia-ne...

Another day of regent parrot nest checks - look at this gorgeous thing 🧡

Fortunately the autofocus kicked in properly for the next shot. Here they are mid splashdown #Phototgraphy #WheelchairPhotography #AustralianBirds #Ducks

Auto focus strikes again. This would have been an amazing shot, but at least the reeds in the background are in focus. #Photography #WheelchairPhotography #australianbirds #Focus

Hey guess what everybody? We’re doing a climate cartoon award again and we’re naming it in our dear, late friend Jon Kudelka’s honour!

Whatever else an LLM is, it's not fucking conscious or sentient. Anthropic bans users from ‘needless abusive or cruel behavior’ towards Claude | Anthropic | The Guardian share.google/8xX4cQNMaRzh...

Autofocus, the amazing technology that will absolutely focus on the wrong thing when you're running and gunning. #Photography #WheelchairPhotography #Unfocused #AustralianBirds

So we had a little Masked Lapwing drama across the road from us, the babies were stuck in the gutter and the parents couldn't work out how to get them up. Ramps were improvised so all ended well #Photography #BirdPhotography #WheelchairPhotography #AustralianBirds #Plover #MaskedLapwing

Sigh, article talking about the threat posed by algorithmic approach to determining support needs for people on the NDIS. Feature image is a ChatGPT thing.

I must say, No Mans Sky does work quit well in VR

I keep seeing articles about men worrying they won't pass on their genes, and I don't understand why the media won't tell the plain truth: as a man hoping to sire children, the most important thing to do is artfully assemble a bower and surround it with a collection of startlingly blue objects.

Sigh, I'm pretty sure that if I boycotted all of the local take aways for using AI to make their posters, I'd be stuck with Maccas and KFC (who seem to be fine with selling junk, but using real media to do so).

An excellent thread on the whole "Rogue AI" bollocks

No. There saved you a click

Sooo remember folks, if you're going to do crime, always check with ChatGPT first www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...

These little buggers seem hardwired to frustrate photographers. Did manage to catch this though #BirdPhotography #AustralianBirds #Photography #WheelchairPhotography

For just $500 US Dollarydoos you too can get a toothbrush with a camera in it so that it can work out when to squirt water between your teeth. You can also stream the video to your phone, if that's your sort of thing petapixel.com/2026/09/01/d...

It's almost 40 years since Akira hit the cinemas, and this still slaps www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af5r...

Christmas has arrived at Woolworths

Apropos of nothing I come back to this song. Inspired by a passage in Night Watch by Terry Pratchett, this is an amazing rendition of All The Little Angels Rise Up www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X2_... #Filk #Pratchett #RememberTheAngels

One of my favourite Tim Curry performances www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVzY...

Just a gentle reminder. LLMs do not have feelings, they are not sentient, they are literally tools to be used or discarded as we see fit. That is all

Huh, just realised that I'm pretty much the only one posting to #WheelchairPhotography. Are you a photographer who uses a wheelchair? I'd love to see what you shoot #Photography #Disability #Accessibility

I work at a radio station. Before the advent of AI, I listened to most of the new music we received to know if it was any good. Now, whenever I receive a song with AI-generated image, I don't even press play, I know it's gonna be crap. I don't feel even remotely guilty for it.

they put up a dada center just outside of town and life has been unbearable ever since. thing looks like a fucking fish

Here's a question for #Photographers of Bluesky. When you share your photos, do you prefer to upload directly here, or share a link to a third party site like Instagram/Pixelfed/Flickr etc etc. #Photography

Yeah nah, sorry, if you're not putting the words down then you are not the author, at best you're the editor.

No matter where we go, there we are I guess #HumansOfEarth #Photography #WheelchairPhotography #HumanImpact

NDIS next. But you can't review that budget outcome, only get another assessment using the same secret formula. Rinse, lather and repeat.

Happy 10 year anniversary of the best mic drop on Twitter. Hard to believe it’s been so long! Congrats @astrokatie.com

Thought I might give macro another go with this Pink Fritonnia I'm using the extension tubes with a EF Nifty Fifty. It came out a bit too dark and grainy so I'm going to give it another go, but here are some of the better shots #Photography #WheelchairPhotography #Plants #HousePlants #Macro

Black Hole Sun was right there

You can't predict the turns this sentence takes. Extreme heat is threatening Italy’s “cheese banks,” where hundreds of thousands of Parmigiano-Reggiano wheels are stored as loan collateral. fortune.com/2026/08/10/i...
