@Gargron @murraylivingston yes! You showed me the believe in film tag about a month ago! Really have enjoyed finding other film photographers on Mastodon, thanks Eugen.

I just launched a new Gallery! The Drakensberg, South Africa. 🌍⛰️

This is the first time I'm sharing something like this to #Mastodon. I hope you all enjoy it :D

In March of 2024 I ventured with 5 others on the biggest trip of my life. Backpacking 🥾 a portion of South Africas mountains. We spent 6 days at 3000m asl photographing the landscape.

Haha hope it helps! But yes, ask questions!

Hello Mastodon!... time to try something new.

First an introduction - I go by Dyptre online, I'm a photographer based in Western Canada with a primary focus on capturing landscapes with a focus on natural and real editing. I shoot #film, I and primarily shoot #fujifilm

If you want to see more - give me a follow here I guess!

I have just updated the blog post with a bunch of the suggestions and edits I received!

Link updated in the original post, but, re-posting below here incase the link doesn't update properly.

Okay really quick and rough version, but a good start. This is my progress on my Fediverse for Photographers blog.

Any input and additions appreciated! I still have more to add from the suggestions provided the other day.

@slothrop great additions! I have definitely mentioned the block party conversation to them, not sure why I didn't think to make that it's own specific point.

2/2 🧵the #Fediverse has it's own unspoken rules. I'm hoping others here can help me out together a proper list - in the context of photographers - that would be good to know whenever they do join.

So far I have:
- Adding Alt text to images
- Day of the Week photo games e.i. #TreeTuesday and #MountainMonday etc.
- #Pixelfed vs #Mastodon and how the fediverse works with account tags and servers
- Public vs Quiet Public vs Private messages.
- CamelCase and why

What else should I cover?

Yesterday I announced to my #instagram I was done. I'm leaving, and so in a week after I've given my followers time to reach out for my contact info I will be deleting the app.

#Mastodon and the #Fediverse have been such a breathe of fresh air when it comes to social media - thanks all of you people 👊

However, I've realized there are barriers to entry, so, I want to put together a blog for my photographer buds. A list of "best practices" 1/2 🧵

#InstagramExodus #photography #mastodontips

For #MountainMonday I wanted to share a special #Astrophotography shot of mine.

While #Hiking the #Mountains of #SouthAfrica we were treated to a beautiful late evening inversion, and with it, an opportunity to capture a rare scene.

Per my guide, he knows of only one other photographer who has this frame, as it requires the inversion to block light pollution from the many villages below.

From on of my favorite local parks, this is just one of three impressive waterfalls that can be photographed here. It's a truly gorgeous location to explore.

The upper falls are the first major cascade at the top of the park, with access further upstream difficult and very dangerous to access.

I wish there was a better way to share my #Wrapstodon but wow. What a welcome to #Mastodon

I'm really stoked about this one too, as being my first year it really truly is a recap of my entire experience on Mastodon so far.

Looking forward to exploring more from the #Photography community, and time to get my fingers a bit more into the other social spheres here too.

#ThickTrunkTuesday

The film version of my image Alleviate. I took this frame while exploring the #PNW coasts of #Washington and the #olympicnationalpark area.

I loved the way the sunlight was highlighting the edges of all the moss on these Alder trees. A beautiful display of #nature

Just found out my image is going to be included in the 4th Natural Landscape Photography Awards book! That means that while my image didn't win, it did make it into the top 1% of images!

This is the image submitted. The #NLPA awards focus on natural and true to life editing - so, aside from the b+w conversion this image is as if you were there with me. No AI, no Photoshop.

Looking forward to seeing this printed in person 😍

Endless Forms Most Beautiful (2019)
#ThrowbackThursday

Throwback to my first ever attempt at shooting the #Milkyway
I took on a big task, #Hiking 17km 1800m to the top of a #Mountain in the middle of the night on the hope I would get the shot... I still can't believe I had such an incredible success. This is still one of my absolute favorite #astrophotography photos.

Happy Wednesday #Mastodon!

I wanted to share one of my most popular #WaterfallWednesday images. This incredible location is sadly being threatened by development, but for now it remains a beautiful forest oasis on the coast of #Canada

The Sphynx (2022)

Taken while backpacking the valleys and mountains on the edge of the #canadianrockies with my sibling. This incredible peak became a highlight and constant on our hike through this valley.

If you look closely, you'll see wildflowers scattered across the hills leading to this monstrous #mountain

#MountainMonday #mountainmagic #RealPhotosofRealPlaces #landscapephotography #naturephotography #naturelovers #fujifilm

Taken in the stunning Stanley Park after a winter storm allowed for thick fog to accumulate and infiltrate deep into the forest.

This has ended up being one of my best sellers too, along with its alternative vertical orientation.

In 2022 I had an incredible trip up to #Yukon #Canada. I spent two weeks hiking and camping around the Northern Artic, getting rained on, hailed on, snowed on, and of course had a few moments of sun too.

While there, I made a collection of #monochrome images to capture the cloud patterns on the peaks. These are some favorites.
