Bonus: More on Olympus' Bonkers IS

Here are two other hella experimental handheld test shots I took, just to see what the Olympus/OM System was capable of. Six muther-fudgin’ seconds, y’all: E-M1MarkII | 12mm | 6sec | f/7.1 | ISO-250 This was high up in the Swiss Family Robinson Tree House at Walt Disney World, at 8:15 PM, with a gentle rain starting to fall. Sure, it took several tries to nail the shot, but six muther-fudgin’…

Camera Lens Evolution

The camera lens has been an integral part of photography since its inception, and its evolution has been marked by numerous technological advancements. In this article, we will explore the major milestones in the evolution of camera lenses, from the earliest experiments to the advanced features of modern lenses.

Early Experiments

The earliest experiments with lenses date back to the ancient Greeks, who used glass spheres to magnify images. The camera obscura, a device that used a pinhole to project an image onto a surface, was also an early precursor to the modern camera lens. In the 17th century, scientists began experimenting with lenses made of polished glass to improve the quality of the projected image.

The Achromatic Lens

In 1757, English optician John Dollond invented the achromatic lens, a lens made of two different types of glass that reduced the problem of chromatic aberration. This innovation improved the quality of the projected image and paved the way for the development of modern camera lenses.

The Anastigmat Lens

In 1887, German optician Paul Rudolph invented the anastigmat lens, a lens that corrected for distortion and other optical aberrations. This innovation allowed photographers to capture sharp, clear images with greater accuracy and fidelity.

The Zoom Lens

In 1959, the first zoom lens was introduced by the Japanese company Bell & Howell. The zoom lens allowed photographers to adjust the focal length of the lens, which made it possible to capture images at different magnifications without changing lenses. The zoom lens was a major breakthrough in photography, allowing photographers to capture a wider range of images with a single lens.

Aspherical Lenses

In the 1980s, camera manufacturers began to experiment with aspherical lenses, which used non-spherical surfaces to correct for optical aberrations. Aspherical lenses were more complex and expensive to produce than traditional spherical lenses, but they offered improved image quality and reduced distortion.

Autofocus Lenses

In the 1980s and 1990s, camera manufacturers began to introduce autofocus lenses, which used motors and sensors to automatically adjust the focus of the lens. This feature made photography more accessible to casual users and helped to popularize photography as a hobby.

Image Stabilization

In the 1990s and 2000s, camera manufacturers introduced image stabilization technology, which used gyroscopic sensors to reduce camera shake and improve image quality. Image stabilization technology has become a standard feature in many modern camera lenses, and it has allowed photographers to capture sharper images in a wider range of conditions.

Conclusion

The evolution of camera lenses has been marked by numerous technological advancements that have revolutionized the field of photography. Each new development has expanded the possibilities of what is possible with photography, and has made it easier for photographers to capture sharp, clear, and accurate images. While the history of camera lenses is still being written, the legacy of these early optical pioneers lives on, inspiring and informing the work of photographers around the world.

Jasico Bingo Challenge: sharing a bed

It took all of ten minutes for Jason to cave and climb into Nico’s too-big bed. His weight dips the mattress to one side, and as he slides under the blankets, Nico gets hit with his fan’s frigid breeze. 

“Told you,” he mutters, flipping over onto his left side. He sticks his hand under his pillow. 

Jason makes a face, wrinkling his nose and giving Nico a sort of side-glare, before he settles fully down, hugging Nico’s spare pillow. “I don’t like disobeying Miss Sally.” 

Two months ago, Nico would’ve been right there with him. He’s lived under her roof long enough to know which rules they can nudge, though. “Percy constantly lets Grover share his bed.” 

“Percy and Grover are different,” Jason says, his voice just a shade above a whisper. “You know it’s different.” 

Nico shrugs. “Sally doesn’t know that.” 

Jason looks far less amused than he should. “I’m serious,” he says. 

This is what Nico gets for dating a serial rule-follower, he supposes. Rules are rigid and unbending, in Jason’s mind, no matter how insignificant. He approaches “entrance” and “exit” signs like he’ll get arrested for mixing them up. 

It’s something they’re working on, together. It’s something Nico can help with. It’s always tricky, with Jason, working around the thorny patches of his logic, but Nico knows firsthand that once Jason can tame that anxiety, he’ll feel so much better. 

Nico is also aware it took him almost half a year to even start changing his own habits regarding rules, or moreso his perception of them, and that was only after a few years of built up trauma around it. Jason has his whole life to unwind. 

But, there is still progress, which Nico makes sure Jason knows he’s proud of. It’s easy to start with things Jason wants that he sees as outside the rule-boundary, things like sneaking dessert out of the pavilion at camp so they can eat it somewhere peaceful, or sharing Nico’s oversized princess bed so he doesn’t have to sleep on the floor.

Sometimes it feels a little bit like treat-training a dog. Nico did something similar with Mrs. O’Leary and Cerberus, after all. It’s a guilty thought to have. Jason isn’t a dog, and Nico isn’t his owner, isn’t trying to train him. He’s just…he wants Jason to feel free. He hates when Jason mentally butts up against one of the walls of his cage and physically recoils from something that would make him feel better. Make him feel good, and human, and normal. 

“I want you up here,” Nico says. He matches the gravity of Jason’s tone, watches Jason’s eyes dart around, lit by the dimmed string of star-shaped lights over the bed. Nico reaches out, slowly, and pokes Jason’s wrist. “I know I’ll sleep better if you’re here.” 

Jason swallows. He shifts his weight on the mattress, his foot kicking out just barely into Nico’s space. “What if Miss Sally comes to check on us, and she sees-? Will she get mad?” 

“Maybe.” He wants to temper Jason’s fears, not lie to them. He hasn’t seen Sally get mad at anything other than when the dogs chew on shoes, or when he and Percy fight too loud in the backyard. This, something easy enough to explain, he doesn’t think she’d mind. “But she would never punish me, or you, over it. Over anything. The worst she’d do is give us a stern talking to, and maybe make us sleep on the couch next time.” 

“The couch is an option?” 

Ugh, no, the couch is not an option. Nico taps his fingers against Jason’s wrist bone and wrinkles up his nose, tucking himself up more in his comfortable blankets and pillows. 

Jason, finally, breaks into a little smile. “You’re spoiled now.” 

“Hush. I’m allowed to like having a bed, and I’m allowed to want to share it with my b..with my boyfriend.” 

The room hushes over, the sound of the fan hiding how hard Nico’s heart thumps. 

It’s still new, that part of this. It’s still hard to say it out loud. Pushing out of his comfort zone is something Nico is working on himself, though. 

Jason beams. He’s probably blushing, though it’s too dark to see and Nico’s half buried his face in the pillow to hide his own face.

“Shut up,” he grumbles. 

Jason turns his hand around and laces their fingers together. He finally lets go of the tension in his arms, lets himself sink into the bed. Nico feels how the blanket moves with it. 

“You’ve convinced me,” Jason whispers. “But if we do get caught, you’re doing the talking.” 

“Deal,” Nico says, and squeezes Jason’s hand. He peeks, just to see another glimpse of that smile. He likes Jason’s smile. It doesn’t even ache to admit it anymore. “Go to sleep, now.” 

“Can do.” 

(Sally pokes her head in at eight AM, after Nico and Jason miss breakfast. She blinks, at first confused to see the empty pallet at Nico’s bedside, then understanding when she sees the bed itself. 

Jason is fast asleep at the edge of the bed, peaceful and relaxed, hugging a pillow to his chest, the blankets tangled around him. Just over the slope of his shoulder, she sees Nico’s curly head of hair nestled close. 

She’s careful not to let the door squeak as she leaves them in peace.)

I wish society wasn’t fatphobic to the extent that people will congratulate you on your weight loss when you’ve lost weight because you’ve been physically and mentally ill all year.

Haha thanks it’s because I’ve been starving myself :] haha I’m so glad you think it’s appropriate to say that to anyone in any context but especially in this one where you’re speaking to someone who had thin privilege to begin with :]] you’re right it’s really cool and healthy for me to be the same weight I was as a 12 year old :]]] yeah it’s super cool of you to notice that I’ve been eating 1.5 meals a day and then think it’s a good thing :]]] hahaha thank you so much for reaffirming my disordered eating habits that’s really beneficial for me in trying to break those habits so thanks for reminding me that you think that it’s an acceptable and even morally superior way to live what the fuck is wrong with you hahaha :]
