Perfect, that’s not a platform I’ve run into before, but same deal.

I think that any photo-sharing platform is good, be it Flicker or pixelfed or whatever, if it allows people to see your work without signing up (like Instagram does). I also find that Ficker has a pretty good community and a decent amount of users. It’s worth looking at, unless there’s anywhere else that your photos are collated anywhere else online for me to see. From what I’ve seen from your profile here, it’s definitely worth you having a place to let people browse your work

Of all the ones I listed above, I think Toshio Shibata probably exemplifies it best. He sees details in man-made structures, and the way that they interface with the natural world. GXAce’s pictures are also exemplary, though they are more often in a solely man-made environment, and lean in a very specific direction with the editing.

I’m definitely starting to get good enough with my camera to express it in pictures a bit, but it’s hard to find more photographers for inspiration with this shortcoming in my google-fu. Seems like an arse-about-face way to do it to get good enough to define a genre, and then see who else falls into it, but if life leaves me no other choice, I guess I’ll have to give it a go… don’t hold your breath though, it might take a minute

I like that, it’s similar to Todd Hido in a fashion. Cool images, thanks

That’s a stunning photo. Do you have a Flickr account?

That’s a great photo, do you have a Flickr account?

That’s a fantastic shot, reminiscent of Danila Tkachenko’s Restricted Areas collection

LUMIX GX9 with the Summilux 17mm, it the LUMIX 20mm depending on mood. Pretty much perfect in my opinion - small, fast, good image quality, and the option to trigger the shutter via the touchscreen is great for unobtrusive street photos.

P.I.C.N.I.C.

Is this likely? I’m not there, so don’t know if this even seems likely, but I’ve seen this question twice now, which has kindled a tiny flame of hope

Fuck yeah. I’m ashamed to say I’d kinda forgotten about them, so thanks for reminding me. Midnight and Mescaline is an absolute banger, as a recommendation for a gateway track

And also they are just all round fantastic. Real, proper metal, but not cheesy.

Now that is a silly hat

Easily done! I’m constantly thinking I’ve found an answer to a question about the GX9, reading for a while, and then realising it’s about the G9, and it’s not relevant to my body. It’s a shame it’s not been updated yet, I really love this little camera and think that with a few updates, it could rival the Fuji x100 series in many ways.

I have a couple of fantastic older manual Nikon lenses that I use with my LUMIX GX9, and I love that combo. I have a simple cheap adapter, and the shots I get with the 300mm ai-s are stunning, I love that combo. As it’s a crop sensor, my lovely 1.2 50mm becomes more of a portrait/tele lens, but if that bothers you then a speed booster like the Metabones isn’t silly money, and gets you back down towards the original focal length.

I’m really hoping that there’s a GX9ii in the pipeline as I love mine but would appreciate a couple of upgrades, like phase detect etc. However, I think that the GX9 is still a very, very hard camera to beat for street and travel, and the range of lenses available for M4/3 makes it very versatile.
