These photos belong to another set of a little magical garden I found! And also, the sun was great that day, and the bokeh perfect.

These were taken with a Minolta 58mm f1.4 from the '70s, adapted to a Sony a7riv.

Therefore, over the years, many restorations and reconstructions took place at the site. In the early 1800’s, such work was taking place and the remains of Valentine were discovered along…

GRACEFUL WATERS by Nenad Spasojevic Via Flickr: How often do you see it? I don’t go there very often but it’s always fun to go back. Buckingham Fountain, located in Grant Park, Chicago, is a grand and iconic landmark. This expansive Beaux-Arts-style fountain, constructed in 1927, is one of the largest in the world. At its center is a magnificent pink granite and bronze fountain adorned with four impressive seahorse sculptures symbolizing the states bordering Lake Michigan. The fountain's water shoots up to 150 feet in the air, creating a mesmerizing display. With its meticulously choreographed water shows accompanied by music and lights, Buckingham Fountain is a must-see attraction during the summer months. Set against the backdrop of the Chicago skyline, this picturesque plaza offers breathtaking views and serves as a focal point for various events and celebrations in the city. What are your thoughts on it?

FAQ:

What camera and lenses do you use?

I use a Sony A7Riv (a mirrorless digital camera) and most often I am using a 35mm prime lens (the FE 1.4/35 GM) or the less fancy but still serviceable 85mm prime (FE 1.8/85). I bought them all used off KEH, which I really recommend for anyone in North America trying to spend less money on gear. The majority of the photos posted here were made using that camera body and one of those two lenses, although I do occasionally use converters and lenses from old analog SLRs. I don't post my film work to this blog, but if you want to know about analog cameras and film photography, shoot me an ask.

Where was this photo taken?

After deliberating for a long time, I made a decision to not share geolocative information with my photos unless I was making a larger text post about the area and its history. I remember the world before geotagging and instagram, and I have really mixed feelings about – on some level – reducing the landscapes and lifeways I cherish to their aesthetics. While I do trust most of you to treat the places you visit with care, I've also seen a lot of trampled superblooms and summit queues for that one perfect shot. So if I'm going to tell you where something is, I also want to include information about why that place is so special. Unfortunately, most of the time I am too tired to write something long enough to do the place justice.

How do you edit your photos? Do you use presets, and if so, which ones?

For years this has been my workflow: I import everything into Adobe Lightroom Classic, which I like for its organizational capacity more than anything else. I built my own presets, each for specific lighting conditions, weather conditions, and landscape types, which I apply as photos come in. Then I do a second pass and make adjustments on each photo. I may share preset packages at some point – I just have to get around to it. I delete a lot of work, because the Sony a7riv files are enormous. I export everything for tumblr at or below 2000 pixels on the long edge, so the file sizes you guys see are comparatively small (want a larger file for some reason? send me an ask). I do work with photoshop as well, but generally not for the photos I post to this blog. I have been considering moving everything over to Darktable, which is open source.

NEW FOLLOWERS:

I get a lot of bot followers. If your blog has a profile pic, a header image, and some text in your info section that was clearly written by a human I’m much less likely to accidentally block you. I don't need you to list identity information or post a picture of yourself (I am glad you protect your privacy). Even just changing your blog’s colors can help signal you are human to other tumblr users, but if you get blocked it's almost certainly because you looked like a bot and I was going through the motions of clearing them out. If I notice your blog posting AI content I will block you even if you appear to be human and friendly. My only real aim with bluebelly-sun-serpentine is to encourage us all to pay attention to the world around us and to celebrate what that attention can do to connect us to all kinds of life, and I feel like ai is just kind antithetical to that, so I do my best to keep it off my dash.

Crystal Caverns of Zu'leth

Do not steal the Crystals, not all of them are cursed, but enough are. Take only pictures and memories.

Actually, the memories are probably not a great idea.

On second thought, enjoy the pictures, don't go.
