- The RAW versus the edit. No filters or presets used, just a chain of choices, and a good amount of trial and error.
- A handful of peas, as fresh as they come. From the back archives, 15 years ago. 📷 Nikon D40x, Nikkor 18-55mm 🗓️ 02 August 2010

- “I don't want to die now! I've still got a headache! I don't want to go to heaven with a headache, I'd be all cross and wouldn't enjoy it!” — Arthur Dent, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Relevant because migraine 😖

- “Well, that escalated quickly” would be an overstatement, but it escalated just quickly enough that I caught the train on time. 📷 Nikon D7200, Nikkor 18-140mm ⏱️ 1/500s, f/8, 18mm, ISO 640 🗓️ 08 Apr 2025
- I just noticed that my previous post, which I posted 11 days ago was my 100th on Bluesky! I shall celebrate this milestone later tonight with a Dr Pepper, a packet of crisps, perhaps some of those Baileys filled chocolates, and a nice session of gaming. Which is what I'd probably have done anyway.

- If I ask you whether you've turned your phone off and on again before calling us, I expect a simple, truthful, yes or no answer, not a five minute lecture about how new or expensive your phone is and why you shouldn't have to do that. #techmoans
- I TURNED AN ANTIVAXXER TODAY! ★★★★★ It's such little victories that make my day 😊
- *faces group* “Hi, my name is Bjørnar.” “Hello Bjørnar!” “And I also like the Sequels.” Outside: A screaming mob of furious Star Wars purists, foaming at the mouth, armed with torches and pitchforks and brandishing burning effigies of Mickey Mouse, try to break down the doors.
- 💿 Jean Michel Jarre : Equinoxe (1978) Because, you know, today's the equinox 😊 On March 20th, at 09:01 UTC/GMT. youtu.be/RAhgz9aLukk
- My wife's husband keeps bingeing up all my snacks, which is terribly annoying. On the upside I get even by eating all of his.
- My, uh, friend also asks this. We're thinking about maybe painting over the mirrors.
- When you made the leap but didn't quite stick the landing, so you try to make it look like you meant to do it like that. The eyes do give away the act a bit, though 😊 📷 Nikon D7200, Nikkor 18-140mm ⏱️ 1/250s, f/5.6, 75mm, ISO 200 🗓️ 23 Feb 2025
- The video from the meeting between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump showed only one president, and he wasn't wearing a suit. #SlavaUkraini
- What with this, that, and the other, I'm fully in support of this modification to the map. Make it so!
- Conjunction of Moon and Mars On February 9, 2025, Mars had a close encounter with the Moon, practically touching its edge. Here it is before (19:53 CET), during (20:12 CET), and after (20:26 CET) closest approach. 📷 Nikon D7200 + Nikkor 70-300mm, 300mm, 1/100s, f/11, ISO 100, 09-Feb-2025
- I may not be perfect, but at least I'm both able and willing to return my shopping cart to its proper place.
- I find the vast numbers of so called Christians who declare that compassion is a sin against God, and that empathy is a weapon of Satan, rather disturbing.
- Compassion first, always. After that, it matters less—or even not at all—which deity you do or do not believe in.
- Nazi or Roman? Anyone with two brain cells and a trace amount of social awareness would know that 99.99% of everyone would see that as a Nazi salute, and refrain from using it unless that was exactly what they meant.
- What annoys me second most about missing the train home today is that because as I hurried to try to catch it I hurried past at least half a dozen decent photo motifs that are now confined to a fading blur of memory instead of a memory card.
- Due to popular demand (well, *one* person asked), here's a glasses-less version of my most recent selfie, along with the original, and a bonus one of my first ever meeting with a Candy Corn (with heartfelt thanks to our friends in Texas who thought it was about time).
- My log does not judge. It's not even my log. 📷 Nikon D7200, Nikkor 35mm, 1/500s, f/2.8, ISO 900, 22-Dec-2024
- Lilo would just like to mention that I haven't been posting enough pictures of her lately, so here's a picture of her giving her “I don't think you've posted enough pictures of me lately” look. And just as I'm typing this she fell asleep, curled up against me, and is snoring her little heart out.
- Wiggle yo' butt, and scratch dat itch. 📷 Nikon D7200, Nikkor 70-300mm at 300mm, 1/500s, f/5.6, ISO 400, 26-May-2022
- Still shaking the bug that ambushed me on the third day of Christmas, so here's a selfie I took the day before, while I was still a-bouncing and a-glow with childish mirth and good health. (I love how wearing strong glasses makes my eyes ⅔ their actual size, like tiny peepholes in a meat mask.)
- Starting 2025 with a small herd of goats in a row, just because I can. The recipe calls for ducks, but they were otherwise engaged. 🗓️ 09-jun-2022 📷 Nikon D7200, Nikkor 35m, 1/100s, f/2.8, ISO 1000
- Down with flu this new years, so I'll keep this simple. 🌟 🌟 BEST OF LUCK TO ALL IN 2025 🌟 🌟 May the Force be forever in your favour, points and honour awarded according to your house, and never cross the streams after midnight 😊
- My five day old throat infection has now done my voice in to the point where, if I tried to sing “Streets of London”, Roger Whittaker himself would rise from the dead and slap me silly to make me stop.
- Happy darkest, shortest day of the year to everyone. Or brightest, longest day of the year if you're antipodal. Or same as any other day if you're equatorial 😊 #wintersolstice
- The full moon playing second fiddle to a street lamp. … 📷 Nikon D7200, Nikkor 18-140mm, 105mm, 1/250s, f/8, ISO 500, 16-Dec-2024 #moon #fullmoon #streetlamp #lights #illumination #night #nightphotography #16dec2024
- Post a bunch of photos, hardly anyone bats an eye. Follow @markhamillofficial.bsky.social, and suddenly there's an influx of likes and follows. Thanks, Luke 😉
- First batch of negatives straight off of the scanner, only minor exposure adjustments and sharpening. The camera has a light leak which is lending an, uh, artistic touch to some of the shots. I will pretend that it's intentional. 📷 Minolta XG1 + Minolta 50mm f/2 🎞️ Fujifilm Superia X-tra 400
- Wall art in Strömstad, Sweden, as seen from Café Orient with a big lens. There are a few of these murals in Strömstad. We saw at least three, but we didn't take the time to look very hard. Yes, there's a Norwegian flag. No, I don't know why.
