Talleres de Fotografía de Paisaje con Rafa Irusta FOTOGRAFÍA DE PAISAJE CON TELEOBJETIVO: MÁS ALLÁ DEL GRAN ANGULAR Me acompaña de nuevo Roger Vivé y en este episodio vamos a ver por qué estos objetivos son tan populares en fotografía de paisaje, qué ventajas ofrecen frente a otras opciones y en qué situaciones pueden marcar la diferencia. TEMAS DE INTERÉS COMENTADOS EN EL EPISODIO En este episodio de Distancia Hiperfocal, Roger Vivé y yo hablamos en profundidad sobre los objetivos zoom estándar y su papel clave en la fotografía de paisaje. Aunque no siempre reciben tanta atención como los grandes angulares o los teles largos, los zoom estándar —como los populares 24-70 mm o 24-105 mm— ofrecen una versatilidad extraordinaria. Características de los objetivos zoom estándar en paisaje Uso de los zoom estándar en Fotografía de Paisaje Alternativas y opciones según el tipo de fotógrafo Recomendaciones de modelos según el presupuesto ¿Qué es un objetivo zoom estándar y por qué es tan popular? Estos objetivos cubren el rango focal intermedio, desde un angular moderado hasta un tele corto. Nos permiten adaptarnos a múltiples situaciones sin tener que cambiar de lente constantemente, algo muy útil cuando trabajamos desde ubicaciones complicadas o cuando la luz cambia rápidamente. Ventajas del 24-105 mm (nuestro favorito) Tanto Roger como yo coincidimos en que es nuestro objetivo más utilizado. Lo llevamos en la cámara por defecto, ya que cubre la mayoría de mis necesidades. Es ideal para paisajes variados, escenas urbanas, bosques o incluso para fotografía de viaje. Permite componer sin moverse demasiado, algo esencial cuando no es posible moverse. Comparación entre f/2.8 y f/4 Aunque los f/2.8 tienen ventajas en situaciones de poca luz o para generar un bokeh más marcado, la mayoría de mis fotos las hago entre f/8 y f/11, así que prefiero un f/4 por ligereza y coste. El f/2.8 pesa más, ocupa más espacio y suele ser mucho más caro. Versatilidad por rangos focales: 24-35 mm: angular moderado, ideal para escenas amplias sin distorsión excesiva. 35-70 mm: se acerca a la visión humana, perfecto para capturar la escena tal como la vemos. 70-105 mm: tele corto que permite aislar elementos, comprimir planos y buscar composiciones más cerradas y personales. ¿Zoom o focal fija? Si bien las focales fijas suelen ofrecer más nitidez, su uso implica limitaciones prácticas en el terreno. El zoom estándar da libertad para componer y adaptarse sin moverse, algo que en muchos entornos naturales es fundamental. En nuestro caso, preferimos la comodidad del zoom, incluso asumiendo una ligera pérdida de calidad. Consejos según el tipo de usuario. Para quienes priorizan ligereza o presupuesto, hay opciones más económicas como el 28-60 mm o los 24-105 mm f/4-7.1. Para los que buscan lo mejor en calidad óptica, modelos f/2.8 como el 24-70 G Master son excelentes, aunque más pesados y costosos. Conclusión del episodio El objetivo zoom estándar es una herramienta muy equilibrada y extremadamente útil en fotografía de paisaje. Ofrece versatilidad, calidad suficiente y libertad para centrarse en la composición. Más allá de especificaciones técnicas, lo importante es que se adapte a tu estilo de trabajo y necesidades. No hay una única respuesta: la mejor elección es la que te permite disfrutar haciendo fotos. FOTOS DE RAFA Autor: Rafa Irusta, Canon 1D Mark III - Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L, EXIF: 1/13s f14 ISO100 24mm

Today, there are more mobile phones in existence than people on earth. That's billions and billions of personal electronic devices of which virtually all likely include at least one camera. Thirty years ago, taking pictures was an involved process that included dropping off film at a processing lab, where you could pick up the developed photos a few days later. Nowadays, snapping a picture doesn't cost anything and the reward is instantaneous. However, this modern convenience comes with a little-known tradeoff: Exchangeable Image File Format data, or EXIF data. In this episode of Privacy Files, we sit down with Colin, a member of Anonyome Labs' Security and Compliance team, to flesh out the details on EXIF data. EXIF data is fairly straightforward to remove if you know where to look. We talk about the most common metadata found in photos and alert you to perhaps the most sensitive EXIF information: location data. In addition to providing tips for managing EXIF data, we also address the growing problem of bad actors using unique features in photos or videos to find out where people live or where they have recently been. Hopefully, this discussion will bring attention to a seldom-discussed topic, thus arming you with the knowledge needed to live a little more privately and safely.

Head over to austinadams.substack.com for exclusive content and updates. Buckle up; it's time to challenge the status quo! All links: https://linktr.ee/theaustinjadams Substack: https://austinadams.substack.com ----more---- Full transcription Adams Archive. Hello, you beautiful people and welcome to the Adams Archive. My name is Austin Adams and thank you so much for listening today. On today's episode, we are going to dive deep into some wild situations. The first one being that the CIA has whistleblower come out and said that the CIA was actually paying off It's analysts to bury the findings that COVID was a lab leak, literally giving. Their own analysts, financial incentives to switch their opinions on whether or not that was the case. So we read about that, then we will discuss Russell Brand, who is in the news for some not so good things. Some reports coming out and accusations regarding some sexual assault allegations and potentially even worse, he was actually had his YouTube channel suspended or D demonetized today. So we'll discuss. That as a result. And then going a little bit deeper into that, we're going to look at the Mormon Church actually denouncing Tim Ballard. Tim Ballard being the once founder of Operation Underground Railroad. Also the person who is depicted in the movie, the Sound of Freedom, which we've talked about at length here before. So we'll look at what these allegations are, why they denounced him, and. Tim Ballard had a response to this that he did a video on this guy with his PRs is pretty, pretty wild stuff. So we'll look at that. After that, we'll look at a Texas church talking about churches Texas church, which is experimenting with AI generated services using chat GPT for worship sermon and original songs. That is one of the most dystopian things that I've ever heard. So, we'll discuss that. Now, again, as always, the longer you stay with me, the deeper we get. So, after that, we'll discuss the findings of the Mexican doctors who concluded after their tests were done on the alleged non human alien Corpses. So we have their findings on that. So if you don't know, we haven't talked about this yet here because we had a little bit of a layoff over the last couple of weeks for several reasons. But what happened was Mexico had a congressional hearing where there was two alleged alien bodies, which were shown at the congressional hearing. And they look every bit of ET that you could imagine. So what ended up happening is these Mexican doctors actually did a, some tests on these bodies and we'll see, I haven't read this yet, so we'll see what they actually found. And then, last but not least, this is a story that has been surfacing. Pretty consistently somewhat recently regarding, if you recall, Malaysia Air, I believe it was Malaysia Air 370. That was a airplane which had gotten lost, you know, we go all the way back to 2000 and, let's see. This was filmed in 2014, yeah, lost in 2014, I believe. Now there's some really big deep dives that some people did into this situation. And they came up with some pretty wild stuff. And we'll discuss it all. But first, I need you to head over to the substack Austin Adams dot substack calm, go ahead and get signed up.

And let's jump into it. The Adams archive. All right. The very first thing that we're going to discuss today is going to be that the CIA had a whistleblower come out and say that the CIA was paying off its own analysts to bury the findings that COVID was a lab leak from Wuhan. China. So let's read this article. It comes from the New York Post and it says, the Central Intelligence Agency offered to pay off analysts in order to bury their findings. That Covid most likely was from a lab in Wuhan China. A new whistleblower testimony to Congress alleges, and this goes on to say that a senior. Level CIA officer told house committee leaders that his agency tried to pay off six analysts who found that SARS COVID 2 likely originated in a Wuhan lab. And if they changed their position and said that this, the virus jumped from animals to humans, according to a letter sent Tuesday to CIA director, William Burns. Select committee on the coronavirus pandemic chairman, Brad one strap and. Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner requested all the documents, communications, and pay info from the CIA's COVID Discovery Team by September 26th. So they're actually going to be doing further investigation into this, thankfully, and that will be in just about a week's time. So we'll have to see what comes up from that. According to the whistleblower, at the end of its review, six of the seven members of the team believed the intelligence and science were sufficient to make a low confidence assessment that COVID 19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China. The house. Panel chairman wrote. That's crazy. Six out of the seven people on this specific team believed that the virus came from a lab leak, and the CIA wanted to hush every one of them, and they tried to do so by incentivizing them, allegedly, With money. So now they're pulling all of those financial hearings. Now we actually have the document from Congress which says. Which is comes from the Honorable William J. Burns says to select to Director Burns to the Select Committee of the Coronavirus pandemic and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence together. The committees have received new and concerning whistleblower testimony regarding the agency's investigation into the origins of COVID 19. A multi decade, senior level, current agency officer has come forward to provide information to the committees regarding the agency's analysis into the origins of COVID 19. According to the whistleblower, the agency assigned seven officers to a COVID discovery team. The team consisted of multidisciplinary and experienced officers with significant scientific expertise. According to the whistleblower, at the... End of its review, six of the seven members of the team believed that the intelligence and science were severe sufficient to make a low confidence assessment that COVID 19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China. The seventh member of the team who also happened to be the most senior was the lone officer to believe that COVID 19 originated through zoonosis. The whistleblower further contends that to come to the eventual public contends that to come to the eventual public determination of uncertainty, the other six members were given a sufficient or significant monetary incentive to change their position. These allegations from a seemingly credible source requires the committees to conduct further oversight of how the CIA handled its internal investigations into the origins of COVID 19. To assist the committees, and again, this is What they actually wrote to Congress with their investigations. We request the following documents and information as soon as possible, but no later than September 26, 2023, all documents and communications regarding the establishment of all iterations of the COVID discovery teams. All documents and communications between or among the members of all iterations of the COVID discovery team regarding the origins of COVID 19 and all documents and communications between or among members of all iterations of the COVID discovery team and other employees or contractors of the agency regarding the origins of COVID 19all documents and communications between them or among members of all iterations. Including but not limited to the US Department of State, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the US Department of Health and Human Services to include the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the US Department of Energy regarding the origins of Covid 19. And lastly, all documents and communications regarding the pay history to include the awarding of any type of financial or performance-based incentive financial bonuses to members of all iterations of the C Ovid 19 discovery team. The select subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic is authorized to investigate the origins of the coronavirus pandemic, including but not limited to the federal government's funding of gain of function research and executive branch policies, deliberations, decisions, activities, and internal or external communications related to the COVID coronavirus pandemic. Whew, that's a mouthful. Further house rule. 11 Clause 2 and 1B grants committees of the House of Representatives with the authority to require by subpoena or otherwise the attendance and testimony of such witnesses in the production of such books, records, correspondence, memorandums, papers, and documents as it considers necessary should the required information not be produced in an expeditious or satisfactory manner. You should expect the committee or committees to use its additional tools and authorities to satisfy our legislative and oversight requirements. Thank you for your attention. And then signed by the chairman. Of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Mike Turner, and the Chairman of Select Subcommittee on Coronavirus Pandemic, Brad Wenstrup. Curious who this Brad Wenstrup is. Anyways. The Honorable Raul Ruiz Ranking Member. Alright, so there's your, there's your document on that. Alright so. This goes on to say that in a separate letter the House Committee leaders, and I'll go ahead and just pull this up on the screen for you guys so you can actually. Look with me here. There we go. All right. So this also goes on to say, In a separate letter, In a separate letter, the House committee leaders identified former CIA chief operating officer, Andrew McCready, Mac, Macridis, as having played a central role in the COVID investigation, and asked him to sit for a transcribed interview. At CIA, we are committed to the highest level of standards of analytic rigor, integrity, and objectivity. Of course you are, just not when it comes to assassinating Kennedys. We do not pay an analyst to reach specific conclusions. Of course we wouldn't do that. The post, in a statement, we take these allegations extremely serious and are looking into them. We will keep our congressional oversight committees appropriately informed. Hmm. Interesting, interesting to see if there's anything more from this article that we should be discussing now to the comment section, which is really what matters, which says that if they are actively covering up evidence that COVID came from gain of function research that was weaponizing a virus, then I wonder what other part they might have in all of this. It seems as if we would want to know the truth of origin if we truly want to prevent similar future. outbreaks. That's a good point, right? Why would you want to cover up the origins of this? Why would you not want to get to the bottom of what happened to prevent it from happening again in the future, unless you or somebody, you know, or somebody who's giving you money. Had any take or partook in any of it, right? Why, why, if you, if you don't have any skin in the game, if you're not somebody who's going to be held liable, if you're not concerned about anything coming back to you as an organization, or maybe as the person who ordered these things to happen, why would you be doing this? That's weird. Huh. The next person said, remember when it was the political left that challenged questions and were skeptical of the various three lettered agencies yet now the left is in unquestioning lockstep when with its former arch enemies, pretty remarkable change in the last. generation. It is pretty crazy to like you go back to the 70s, you go back to the 80s, you go back to the 90s, right? The Democratic Party, the left was primarily the hippies, not the the suit and tie wearing grandfathers that we used to think were Republicans back in the day, right? You always that's always how it was pictured for a very long time, right? That that Republicans were these stiff old white men, and The cool people, the, the artists, the this, the that, the, you know, the people who were free thinkers were the people who were on the left, right? Those were the liberals. Those were the the, the Democrats. And, and it seems like we have shifted pretty, pretty significantly to where the left just wants to be completely in line with anything and everything that daddy government says that they should be in line with. And the right questions literally everything, right? For how long were we saying that there's alien evidence, alien evidence, alien evidence? And all of a sudden, the government comes out with alien evidence, and all of a sudden, we're all questioning it, right? Just because the government actually told us that. There was no winning scenario there. But, now that that information's coming out, and it's coming from the mouth of the government, and not other institutions, which we actually trust, we're questioning that too. Because, Everything the government does has an agenda or else they wouldn't be doing it because the government is just about siphoning money from the pool of tax money that they extorted from its people, right? So once you realize that, you have to realize that there's an agenda behind everything, right? The only way for you to be successful in politics, the only way for you to get into the positions that you want to is, well, maybe a already have hundreds of billions of dollars in the bank and self fund yourself and not have to take money from lobbyists, but maybe there's only been. A handful of people like that in recent history and by handful, I mean, maybe two or three and by recent history, I mean, since 1776, but but it's, it's pretty wild to see that, you know, the left is just so in line with everything the government says, so in line with mask mandates, so in line with you know, what, what the CIA is doing with, with everything and anything that comes out from the government. They're just immediately fall in line with it, right? All of that. They are the propaganda Enforcers is the liberal far left, right and and we have to say far left Although I I tend to believe that the left is far more radical in this ideologies than the right is Even if you go to like the far right, right, the far right, being the proud boy type people the, the QAnon conspiracy theorists on, on all of the the deep channels of 4chan, right? It's like when, in order to get to that level, you're probably looking at when it, when it comes to the liberal left, right? We're talking about what, what are the extreme ideologies of the liberal left? The extreme ideologies of the liberal left is that, oh, Any single moment prior to birth, a child should be able to be killed within the womb, right? There's, there's no, there's no conversation more than until it's born, right? That's a pretty radical idea. And I would say, let's say 30 percent of Democrats agree with that idea. Okay, there's one. All right, the secondary idea being that, you know, let's let's say socialism, like true capital, not capitalism, but socialism, that, you know, everybody and anybody should have their fair share of everything, regardless of work ethic, right? Equality of outcome, right? And you might look at it, maybe not straight socialism, but equality of outcome, right? They want the top 1 percent of people to pay the top, you know, 75 percent of taxes, right? Okay, that seems like somewhat of a radical ideology. They don't want people to be able to have Guns that's a that's a pretty radical ideology. Let's just say again for argument's sake that that's 30 percent 30 percent of the radical left Believes that we shouldn't be able to own any weapons at all any weapons at all Well in 30 percent might be generous. It's probably closer like 35 40 and again, I'm just throwing shit out there, but 35% And then you go into what's another radical idea? Oh, well, maybe that your children at the age of two to three years old, four years old should be able to determine their gender, even though they were born with the chromosomes that they were born with. Okay, that's a pretty radical ideology that your child should be able to choose its own gender when it can't choose its own lunch. Because it would choose candy every day. And that's maybe closer to 60 percent of the, let's say, the radical left, or the left in general, believes that. Okay? We can probably even take that further and further and further, looking at the different ideologies. But let's say 30 60 percent of the far left ideologies Trickle into the majority almost of what the left believes right now. We, we can go to the other side of things and say, what are the radical ideologies of the radical? Right. Right. Okay. Trump's been in president for the last, or has been president during Biden's entire term, and we're just waiting on him to raise his hand and say, it was me the whole time, guys. And rip off his mask like it's Scooby-Doo You know, that's like the radical, radical, right. QAnon people. Right. And obviously, you know, QAnon's been, been has some, some merit to some of its belief systems when it comes to the the child sex trafficking rings and things like that. There's obvious merit to that. But, but when we're talking about the fact that there's going to be Trump's. In charge of the real military and he, and I think we haven't heard much whispers of that over the last year or so, but for about the first year or two for, for Joe Biden's presidency, there was a serious group of small group of extremist conservatives, extremist conservatives who were thinking that Trump was going to come back and take over and be like, ha, it was me, right? I'm still president. And, and, you know, that's, that's pretty radical, but I would say maybe Four, three, 3%, maybe less than 3% of of people right now. Another radical ideology on the right might be what? I can't, it's hard to even think of any. I dunno that you shouldn't have drag shows in front of children Like what is, what is the radical rights belief systems that the government shouldn't you know, we didn't even get the freedom of speech when it comes to the left, right? Censorship. The, the, the right might think that there should be No. No. No censorship of speech, right? That's not even radical. So it's just hard to see. It's hard to see what is the what? And I'm open to the conversation. So send me a message. Let me know what is the radical ideas of the right. And maybe maybe we can start to have the percentage conversations I just had with the left, but it's so much easier. Okay, let's just go with abortion. Right abortion. Let's say every single person believes that there should be no ability to have any abortion. And that let's call that a A radical ideology within the right. Let's just say that just for argument's sake. What percentage of people do you think That are conservatives that hold that belief that just zero abortions for any reason whatsoever, regardless of age, regardless of circumstance, regardless of medical situations, maybe, maybe 10%, maybe 5%, I would think like Uh, and primarily made up of people who are highly religious and for religious reasons, not just ideological reasons. So it's just a weird conversation, right? The far left is far more of the left than the far right being part of the right, right? The percentages of those people are just so much lower than what we see. So the craziness... That the entire left is pretty crazy in their ideology because you get thrown out of the group if you don't agree with all of it. Right? So, anyways, there's your tangent on that. Where were we? I don't think it matters. Last comment says there was no lab leak, virus developed in Georgia and released worldwide through various means with various intensities. Not natural, not an accident, U. S. military operation under the auspices of the deep state. Hmm. That's an interesting one. Now, if you go back, I did a whole episode on the what is it called? The water in the water. What was it? That guy, Peter or something did a documentary about how he believed that it was some form of snake venom that was being released to people through the water systems, right? That was a pretty, that was a crazy, crazy idea. But there's a whole documentary on it. Let's see if I can remember what it was called. Let's go. COVID, Snake, Venom, Water, Documentary. And I did a whole podcast breaking this down. So, you can go back and listen to that. Watch the water. Watch the water. That's what it was. Hmm. Yeah, I believe that was, and this guy is the guy who did it. That he interviewed. This, what's the guy's name? Here he is. Pretty sure the guy's like a chiropractor or some shit. But that's a pretty crazy one that the water, the drinking water was being poisoned with snake venom. That was a, that was a pretty wild one, but, but interesting. And I believe if you go back and actually listen to it, there was, there was some interesting arguments within that. But anyways, maybe that's what they were discussing within that comment there. But wrapping that topic up, the CIA was apparently and allegedly, according to this whistleblower, Paying people not to say that it was a lab leak. And again, you have to ask yourself why. All right? In other news, Russell Brand has been accused of sexual assault. And as a result, his YouTube channel has been immediately demonetized without any actual trial, any hearing. Right? And this is somebody's income. So... YouTube blocks Russell Brand from making money from videos on his channel over sexual assault and rape allegations. Right? Something, something that's embedded in our law is innocent until proven guilty. Right? The guy from That 70s Show that Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis was just basically sticking up for in a letter. Was convicted of rape by two women convicted, right? We can demonetize his YouTube. Not sure he would have access to it anyways. But do you just get to as a company? D demonetized the platform people kill their income for allegations. Now, are you playing judge and jury? And how does that play into when somebody goes to court for these things? Right? If you're if you're saying that you believe this person is guilty and also who's making these decisions at YouTube and that. Different companies like this. Anyways, let's go ahead and read this article, which says YouTube has suspended advertisements on Russell Brand's channel in light of a slew of sexual assault and rape allegations made against the comedian as clips of his former wife, Katy Perry, have resurfaced the platform suspensions for violating its policy will still allow brand to. Upload videos, of course it will, it just won't give him money, but he will not profit from advertising. Meanwhile, footage has re emerged of the moment Brand ended his relationship with US singer Perrie by text message in 2011 following their 14 month marriage. Presenter Vanessa Feltz has also shared deeply offensive footage of Brand. Asking to sleep with her and her daughters. When she appeared on his chat show in 2006 and the late comedian, Sean Locke disclosed the reason he hated brand and the clip from the panel show eight out of 10 cats in 2014, explaining he had a fear for his he had a fear his daughters would bring home a man like brand one day. I don't see how that has any merit. Brand has vehemently denied the very serious criminal allegations and said his relationships were absolutely always consensual. So let's see if we can get maybe some of these videos. No, they're just going to send us to a big page of random stuff. All right. So it goes on to say a timeline key points. YouTube suspends monetization. Big brother co creator describes brand allegations as. depressing and BBC confirms removal of brands, content, brand episodes removed from C4 website. No evidence to suggest channel four bosses knew of brands alleged assaults and review into the timeline at BBC led to by director of editorial complaints. This was three hours ago. It says that who cares? That's a silly one. It says the allegations against Russell Brand over the weekend have got people examining the age of consent. Rightly so, that a 30 year old man would embark on a sexual relationship with a schoolgirl feels instinctively wrong to many of us. The woman in question, Alice, who has said that she now feels she was groomed by Brand, though he also denied all of the allegations, has called for consent law to be reviewed in light of her experience. The law enabled it, she told reporters. For the times Saturday night, it shouldn't be legal for a 16 year old to have a relationship with a man in their thirties. Now, most of us are comfortable with the idea that a 16 year old can consent to have sex with another 16 year old, that two teenagers can have a sexual relationship, but we start to feel iffy when there's an adult in the sexual relationship with a minor, as the gap age gap increases, so does our discontent or disquiet. That's not mere hand wringing or moralizing, and it's not about. Trying to deny young people their sexuality, it's because we understand implicitly, even when we can't articulate it, that an imbalance of power can affect consent. Okay, agreed. 16 year olds and 30 year olds shouldn't be having sex. Let's see this clip. Can I have it off with either you or your daughters, the answer's no, and I'm, no. It's terribly awkward when you're a guest on somebody else's show, particularly in a theatre which is full of great fans of, of the presenter, Russell Brand, so they all loved him, they were cheering him and egging him on, and I was in this unbelievably awkward position where you don't quite know what to do. Are you meant to pretend you think it's funny and laugh along? Are you meant to stand up and walk out in high dutch and, and, and look as if you're a spoilsport and a party pooper? You know, what are you supposed to do? But I know I was deeply offended then as I remain deeply offended now. Now that woman looked about in her 40s and not very attractive at the time. And now that's not to take away the seriousness of this clip, but I don't see that there being any merit to that of people just trying to smear him. Now, now something that's come out as a revolt result of this, you know, and something that there seems to be a lot of attention on Russell Brand right now, right now, Russell Brand speaking out consistently, consistently, consistently against the deep state against George Soros against the world economic forum. So To me, it would be no surprise that there's things coming back. Now, from 20, 30, 20 years ago, 10, 15, 20 years ago, that obviously have not been litigated. There's no, nothing going through the court system. So again, I'm not saying that I don't think a 30 year old and a 16 year old should have a sexual relationship. That's creepy. It's weird. It's gross. I, I don't know if I, you know, we just had the one side of that, but he seems to say that he. didn't do any of that. Now telling a woman in her 40s during a talk show, let me have a go at you or your daughters and she's 40 and maybe your daughter's 2025 or something like, okay, it's still nothing there. You know, I would love to see, you know, and here's a, here's a good quote that came from Reddit. That's pretty popular right now. It says, All start caring whether or not Russell Brand had some questionable sex a decade or two ago when the media starts caring what Bill Gates or Prince Andrew was doing on Epstein Island. Or when it starts naming the customers Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of supplying trafficked minors to. Right. There seems to be a lot of emphasis, right? I'll start caring about Russell brand. When you start to show that you actually care about the victims, right? That's what this is saying here. Not, not, let's not diminish if there was some allegations. Cause I haven't read enough into them to say they weren't true or they were true or whatever. Let's just say, sure. There's allegations here, but what we know 100 percent besides the fact that Russell brand had, what seems like a still. Something that has not been convicted against him. And he still hasn't even gone to court for this. That doesn't seem like there's any charges. But there has been somebody who was supplying and trafficking hundreds, if not thousands, of underage women to Prince Andrew, to Bill Clinton, to Hollywood executives, to Hollywood elites, to... Everybody in power, and everybody knew about it. Oh, and also, so did the news companies who silenced the articles to come out. Right? Everybody knew about this, but nobody said anything. And still... They're protecting the lists today, you're going to tell me you're going to tell me that they raided Epstein's Island and found nothing of merit that they're releasing to the public about who was a part of this, how they did it, about what we're doing as a result of that, you're going to tell me they raided an entire island that was used specifically for track picking and found nothing, not a Bit of evidence, not a single strand of evidence that led them to convict somebody who was on that island doing those things. Bill Gates, like I said, Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton just person after person after person. And the list, you know, we've gone into that and the whole breakdown of the black list that came out or black book that came out from Epstein. So you can go back and listen to that to see who was all a part of it. But. It's pretty crazy. And, and so this article or this, this person posted and goes on to say that I'll care what about what one former US president is or isn't guilty of. When the media starts caring about what other former US presidents are or are not guilty of. And I'll care about a more powerful country invading a less powerful country when the media reports the conflict and its context in exactly the same tone. And with the degree, same degree of neutrality versus moral outrage as it uses when there's a more powerful country in question is the U S A. Until that day, the mainstream media and everyone who repeats its talking points on social media is not, but idle gossip and the sound of one hand clapping. Until the day I could not give less fucks about what mainstream media says any person did or didn't do, so... Well, that's not what it said. It says about who the mainstream media says any fucker fucked or didn't fuck. And so fuck the mainstream media. Let anyone... It fucks with tell them to fuck the fuck off. With its farce ial fuckery. Now, the top comment on this, and I don't disagree with this, is you are allowed to care about all of those things simultaneously. Right. I don't disagree with that. It definitely seems like you should, you know, If you care about people who are the victims, you should just care about them regardless, but it doesn't seem like it's obviously not the same level of situation here. Now, in light of these things coming up here, I'm actually going to skip. We'll maybe push off the Tim Ballard one to a different episode here, because we have a little bit more to go. And I have a little bit limited amount of time here. So the next one that we're going to move to is a Texas church experiments with. AI generated service and uses chat GPT for worship sermon and original songs to praise the Lord says the church said the experiment would be a one time event. And this comes from Fox news. Now, if this isn't the most dystopian thing you've ever heard of when it comes to religion, I don't know what it is. This is just So sci fi, weird, and cult y. It says, with artificial intelligence seemingly infiltrating every facet of our lives, one church decided to experiment with the technology for one of its services last week. The Violet Crown City Church, located in Austin, held an AI generated service on Sunday, describing the experiment as uncharted territory. Yeah, because you're starting a cult with... a robot at the head of it. This, and you're, you're, you're actually the, so here's a philosophical issue with this is that you're, you're taking the person who is, let's say the, the coding behind the AI and turning that into a deity, right? You're, you're giving it infinite amounts of power over people. When somebody gives their life to a God or a deity or a religion and says, I believe in you. I trust in you. I give you my life. I give you my faith. You know, faith is a faith is a. a tricky thing, right? Faith is, is now not always blind faith, but, but faith with with a little bit of suspicion is, is healthy, right? But faith, faith is a tricky thing. And if you give that faith to something who's, who's being, can be at any single point manipulated by man. Right? You're, you're giving religious potential. You're giving deity like power to something that is man itself, right? We cannot have man worshiping man. That's the problem that we saw with science during COVID science, right? It turned into a cult, right? There's no man who should be a deity and there's no artificial intelligence that should be a deity because what does that become other than the manifestation of the programming, right? Right? So this says. This Sunday, they said, we're entering somewhat uncharted territory by letting Chachibiti create the order of worship, prayers, sermon, liturgy, and even an original song from our 10 a. m. service, the church wrote on its official Facebook page. The purpose, the purpose is to invite us to consider the nature of truth and challenge our assumptions about what, what God can make sacred and inspired. The Church acknowledged such an experiment would be easy to write off, but encouraged its members to keep an open mind. Why not attend instead of an experience for yourself, the Church said, clarifying that this would be a one time experiment and not something we'll likely do again. Yeah, I hope not. The Church assanjed any worries that Skynet, a reference to the fictional AI, I'm not sure an AI can actually express the emotions of love and kindness and empathy, Chambers said. I think that we must practice love and express that. Not only feel it, but we must. Express it. Interesting. Now the comment on this was pretty sure God was not impressed with the vanity of that service. They wanted the creator of the entire universe to interact with a machine? It's like man saying, here, listen to this thing we created. God made man so he could interact and connect with man. Not so that man could make a machine and use it as his proxy. Yes. Agreed. Right, this is, if you think there is layers to reality, one of those layers being the higher, the higher reality, right, which is, let's call it heaven or we're, we're, we're God lives, right? And the layer that we're on being a lower dimension of reality, right? You cannot create, and you cannot, when, when somebody is creating a sermon, when somebody is writing a song, when somebody is deciding on what they do or do not want to talk about, If you believe in, in the faith of, of Christian, Christianity and religion, you believe that God is speaking through that person, right? God's not going to speak through an AI chatbot that was created by some Silicon Valley, woke, purple haired, ear ringed, Weirdo, right? Earrings like there's something wrong with earrings but it's all, you know, I, I pictured like 22 earrings on their head and gate big gauges. Right? But God's not going to speak through that person or at least through the coding that they wrote. I'm sorry. Right? So, so if you believe that that is of this reality that is of this realm and it's not going to be the real thing and all that opens up is a weird it. Alien based cult. Let's get into the good stuff. Alright, so the doctors, if you go back, the doctors in Mexico actually have come out and done testing on the alien bodies that were found in Peru. Now they claim that these were almost over a thousand years old when they were found and they were found in the ruins of I believe it wasn't wreckage, but they were just found and dug up by like archaeologists. So it says Mexican doctors have found no evidence of any assembly or manipulation of the skulls of the so called non human being remains that were presented to Mexico's Congress last week. Seemingly proven the remains were not human made. The scientists conducted a number of tests on the two specimens at the Neuer Clinic on Monday and live streamed the entire procedure. Wow, that's pretty cool. In the end, Jose Zels Benitez, the director of Health Sciences Research Institute and the secretary of the Mexican Navy offices, said the studies proved the alleged aliens belonged to a single skeleton and were not assembled with human objects. He also said his team found that one was alive, was intact, Was biological and was in gestation, pointing to large lumps inside the alleged E. T. 's abdomen, which suggested could be eggs. Whoa. I can affirm that these bodies have no relation to human beings, he previously claimed. The pair, which were allegedly unearthed in Cusco, Peru in 2017, have elongated heads with three fingers on each hand. Creepy. Super creepy. Especially when you look at the pictures of this MRI. Whoa, how are these pictures not out? That's crazy. Also, I do just want to say that nobody seems to give a fuck about the fact that they just showed alien corpses on live TV and then just did an autopsy on them with MRI machines and cat scans and came out with the results. I haven't seen a single person. I found this literally randomly on the New York Post. It says, but otherwise they appear humanoid in shape with two arms and two legs. Each my son. Said that they had strong light bones and no teeth, and had implants of ca, ca, ca, ca, cadmium and osmium, which is one of the scary, scariest elements on Earth. Also, one third of their d n A is unknown. He testified claiming that beings are not part of our terrestrial evolution. These specimens are not part of our evolutionary history on earth. They're not beings recovered from a U F O crash site. Instead, they were found in diatom. Minds and subc subsequently became fossilized, which is an algae. This is the first time it is presented in such a form. And I think there is a clear demonstration that we are dealing with non human specimens. They're not related to any other species in our world, but many have expressed skepticism about the discovery. For years, academics, archaeologists and scientists said that mummified remains, that UFO enthusiasts claim or aliens are generally just modified human bodies. And there's people looking at these pictures. There's picture after picture of these skulls. Oh my gosh. Could you imagine being in this room? How wild is that? The very first comment on this said, I am partly convinced they are not human and could be extraterrestrial. However, the DNA results will tell the tale. It should be easy to send a small sample of DNA to a reputable company. In fact, why not send one of the eggs as well? If it was alive at one time, that should be. The final proof of origin. Somebody else commented back to that person and said, is anyone going to believe anything coming from Mexico? Says they performed the same tests on Biden and got the same results. Oh, pretty crazy. All right. And last but not least on today's episode, we're going to dive into the Malaysia air three 70 conspiracy. This was posted eight days ago on conspiracy Reddit by additional underscore add 3796. And I've dabbled in this a little bit. I haven't read the whole thing, but it's pretty crazy. So this says, Hello, this is Ashton from Twitter, and I have been writing about the MH370 videos for the past month. They are real, leaked, military videos. I don't want you to believe me, I want to convince you with the facts. This isn't all of the facts, just some of the most compelling. The videos...

Alright, let's go ahead and see and make sure that he doesn't have any prior posts on this that give us a... T. L. D. R. A little bit on his post. So this was, well, he replies a lot. Let's go to his posts. We're looking at an overview. All right. So the one that we had looked at was from eight days ago. Let's just see if he has any the real story of MH three 70 all pertinent evidence and theories. That was 70 or seven days ago. Facts and theories to help the investigation. And okay. So this Reddit looks like started eight days ago or 10 days ago. And it says proof the Northern coordinates are correct and facts. Hey guys, this is Ashton from Twitter. I've noticed a lot of things have gotten destroyed here. Let's see if he gives us a quick synopsis here. And he does not. So let's jump first to the one that he says is all evidence and theories. Okay. So, so my J the general consensus. Well, not general consensus because I haven't done a census, but the idea here is that the original story was, was wrong, that this is a conspiracy and that it didn't just evaporate into thin air or fall into the ocean as everybody thinks. So this says Ashton Twitterson here, many people ask for a comprehensive list. Of the evidence of the M H 370 video. So I delivered most people's immediate reaction will be that the MH 370 videos are stupid or impossible, but they line up with all the facts to date. Don't believe me or trust me, verify the evidence. The U S government made a huge mistake recording this event. There's no excuse they can use to deny it. If you want to destroy all credibility and world governments here is. Your unique opportunity. Each piece of evidence can be verified either visually in the video from works of the community or my own investigation research. If it's not on the list, I either haven't verified it or don't find it to be credibly linked to the investigation. At this time, I'm limited in images that can be used or I would add more. I only put links and sources when it's a contentious point. When the time comes, all those who contributed will be giving credit. Quick disclaimer, they said This is not Q Anon. This is not to distract from Trump or Biden. This is not an alien invasion. This is not a hoax, misinformation, or disinformation. There are ufology elements, but that does not mean it is the explanation. This is the power of the community used to tell the story of the greatest conspiracy of all time. Is this the greatest conspiracy of all time? Note, I don't want to talk to any mainstream media. They'll never tell the truth. I'll talk to any alternative media or Tucker Carlson, Bill Maher, Joe Rogan. If these three can be convinced, I believe the world can be. Interesting. All right, so let's see if we can start with the theories, because I feel like he could have written this better to give us a brief synopsis first. But essentially. Oh, so that's what that video was. Okay, so this is showing that the Malaysia Air 370 was being circled by three unidentified objects in this crazy weird orbs all surrounding it and rotating. I did see this video. And then there's a zap, which is a cold event in the thermal because this was being picked up by thermal imaging. The zap accurately illuminates the clouds in the background and the foreground. All right. So. Let's go through this full. Let's go through this full deep dive. All right. So let's just go back to the top here because now it's starting to make a little bit more sense to me. There's a video that was circulating, which was showing and I'll pull it up here for you guys. So you can watch it if you're on YouTube with me here or on rumble or on the sub stack. This is the web archived video. Okay. Now, again, this comes from 2014 back when this airliner went missing. And here's a video. That they're saying is credible evidence of the Malaysia air showing, and here's my cursor showing there's the orb. There's three orbs that fly right around it in a crazy, crazy quick way that has no, wow. And they're, they're surrounding it like almost in a symmetrical triangle, rotating back and forth and in sync. Almost completely in sync and then rotating and turning back around and all surrounding this airliner, the same airliner that went missing suddenly back in 2014 and they go faster and faster and faster and faster, see if, and then disappears, what completely disappears. So we need to verify obviously the legitimacy of this video, but a lot of people seem to think it's legit. That was crazy. Okay. So one more time at the point where it disappears, the rotating, rotating, rotating, rotating, and it's gone big flash. And the airliner is just completely gone after being surrounded by these three orbs. Now there's a second video that comes from this, and we'll see what this shows us. That was the one that I saw, I believe. It says capture airliners and UFOs, UAV. And here's the thermal imagery. Alright, so here's the aircraft flying. Now why is a UAV this close to this airliner is a better question with thermal imaging. There's an orb, one orb, two orbs. Rotating, rotating, and leaving a thermal trail behind them, which is interesting. Oh, they're perfectly circling when you see the trail around them. Whoa, that's so weird. Super weird. And let's see if it shows it disappearing. Whoa, and it's Gone, dude, if this is real, and this if this is Malaysia air and the whole time I remember this, this was like, this was as big as the Titanic submarine situation. Like all those, you know, the three billionaires, this was an entire airliner just gone, gone. And I believe there was some high profile people on this airliner. But yeah, They we were looking for this for days and days and days went by and days went by and it should have been out of fuel and maybe they they landed here and maybe they didn't and maybe we just haven't their transponder went off whatever it was if this is the airliner and this is real this is one of the craziest conspiracies ever okay Now I'm in. Now I'm in. Alright. So, we got the background now. Filmed in 2014 with technology from 2014. Spy satellite videos, presumed from USA 229 is the earliest archived source. Received March 12, 2014. 3D stereoscopic video, technically a third video, which means we need two satellites in close proximity and on the same orbital trajectory. Satellite perspective changes eight times as do the coordinates, with coordinates visible in six of them showing us the location and direction of travel, south and east. A thermal layer of MQ 1C Grey Eagle posted by Rejiknion received, I don't know what the hell that's supposed to be a name or something received June 5th of 2014. And cameras on the equipment are made. For filming these events, it says this the thermal layer on a specialized electro infrared camera on the MQ one secret Eagle matches the mission purpose for this S I B R S and S I G I N T tracking boats and planes, electronic signals, monitoring intelligence and battlefield awareness, alternate sources and higher quality exists that point to none of these users being the original source. Maybe we can see if these are the same exact videos and higher resolution, but this is two minutes long. So I wonder maybe it's, it looks slowed down a little bit. That's probably why it's two minutes. I want to see it disappear like that. Slow motion. Gone. Whoa, that's wild. Okay it's a speculation. The original source may have come from a private forum or left on the dark web to be found. Videos show coordinates in them that change, but not when the mouse moves. Videos show satellite designations presumed to be N r o l 22 due to seeing 93 and thus ruling out threes. Not sure what that's supposed to mean. Satellite vis video explained by remote terminal access mouse drift. Explained by a JPEG wheel track ball that does not have the click activated screen capture of terminal running at some resolution. 30 frames per second. Citrix remote terminal running at default on 24 frames per second. Okay, very technical. So they're trying to figure out where did this video come from because you see on the screen a mouse going back and forth on top of it over top of the video. So I think that's what they're trying to do here. Remotely navigating around a very large resolution video playing at. Eight frames per second, or is that six? Six frames per second. Okay, so they're just trying to figure out where did this video come from? Plane is making a left hand turn and descending consistent with a circle formation consistent with capabilities of a 777 to 200. Plane's altitude is low based on how close they are to the cumulus cloud formations. Okay, true. There's a heat signature near the center bottom half of the plane. Yes, also true. There's an exhaust smoke coming from the plane, which is likely too low for contrails. Three orbs approach. The plane seemingly not affected by gravity. Yeah, that's that's what I said. It was just moving. It didn't seem to follow Newton's laws. Like it's just moving around in a way that our aircraft absolutely could not. Does the orbs have cold trails that are in front of the orb leading the orb? Yes. Saw that. Speculation. Orbs may be changing the pressure of the atmosphere or absorbing energy from it. Orbs entered a lock formation and begin a pattern and change patterns. Wow, they really broke down this pattern this way the way that they were rotating. Very interesting. And the two of them almost intersect and then change their formation and then go perfectly in sync. Perfectly in sync. It says the orb's pattern encircles the plane over time. The orbs may not be visible to the human eye. Both cameras are infrared. Huh, interesting. A zap occurs as the orbs bend and move towards the plane. The zap is a cold event in the thermal, and the zap accurately illuminates the clouds in the background and the foreground. Huh. So was this at night? The plane completely disappears after the zap, including the plane's visible trail. The MQ 1C is cropped out of the satellite video, just out of view. The user closes the window after the plane disappears, indicating this was not recorded in real time. It requires knowledge of classified military systems. Person who recorded or leaked these videos is likely in prison. How would a hoaxer know? They would never find a plane. Why this is M H three 70. Okay. Good question. How do we know that this is the plane, right? Is this says that it's the only missing seven 77. There was no debris field found official flight path. Has it running out of gas? Because there's nowhere else for it to go and the official search searched everywhere along the final ping art and along the flight path even the Nicobar Islands area, right? So the perfectly along this flight path perfectly around the time that it was flying and it's the exact aircraft type says the thermal matches the exact silhouette of a 777. Okay, yep, which is overlaid at the top of this image here. The color tone matches that of Malaysia Airlines. And satellite coordinates put it on the flight path of MH370 around... 640 Nicobar Islands, which is the smoking gun. Note, this is the suspected location of the turn into the South Indian Ocean. It has an imagery around that. It says NROL 22, released in 2006, is presumed to be a relay satellite due to its molnia. Orbit and clear view of the satellite that took the video, the smoking gun USA two 29 at the right location. Time apparent angle with a sister debris satellite capable of taking stereoscopic video at six 40 UTC. So it's just verifying that there was something in this location at that time that could have taken this video and says propose of. Signal intelligence and space based infrared systems is to track airplanes like this. Interesting, it shows a Lockheed Martin space based infrared system. And then it says the U. S. military had to have tracked MH370. We've proven they had the satellites in the area. US military confirmed the provided data to the intelligence community to help solve the mystery of MH370 and the freedom of information act about the DSP detection of the impact of 370 was ignored. Goes on to show the flight path. The pilot says good night. MH370 at 5 19 UTC at 17 21. 521 UTC MH370 disappears from all civilian radar due to both 8S, B and A cars being shut off. Captain Blelly suggests whoever was in command of the aircraft had intentionally achieved this by disconnecting all four electronic Electrical generators and APU. The radar says the plane makes impossible altitude changes from 5, 000 feet to 55, 000 feet. The radar loses the plane, but tracks an object they believed to be the plane as the satellite system resets three minutes and a log on request happens around 1724 plane changes directions. When the plane gets over Penang, the copilot cell phone pings, huh? The last Malaysian. Radar in between 1815 and 1822, 200 miles West by Northwest of Penang. Hmm. Very interesting. So it's showing basically the flight logs and the the pings of information that was being sent out from it. It says the witness interesting. So it's showing her blog post, Catherine T. It says the reported facts, their timing, and their identified geometrical relative position provided by Miss T are coherent, providing confidence in her reporting. So let's see this blog post while that's loading. She says, I thought it was coming to land. I felt it was traveling slowly. The aircraft was probably flying in L2 between 2000 and 100, 000 feet, held same tack for five minutes. The aircraft had considerably descended. from the first or from the first second of observation until the accidental change of tack. I saw that what looked like black smoke behind the orange glow, which resembled a contrail, but black, but I couldn't see any fire flames or anything like that. I just saw a plane glowing orange. Whoa. This comes from chat GPT, which has gases in the atmosphere, particularly oxygen. Nitrogen can glow orange under influence of electromagnetic effects, ionization, and other electron or energetic processes. The Aurors are a prime example of a phenomenon. Interesting. Says the glowing plane did not have any navigation lights. Alright, as it moved behind the boat, I could see the shape very clearly, which was a passenger plane. Here is the blog post. Which, quite lengthy. But maybe we'll have to send that out in the sub stack. Hmm. Interesting. So this woman says that she saw Malaysia Air right around the time that it disappeared. And wrote a blog post about it. It says other pertinent information. It says, my impression of the hall was that it was monocolor. I assume light matte gray. I doubted my sanity at the time. The plane circles around the boat counterclockwise from the Southeast. Hmm. The silence is sinister was the last tweet. It says other pertinent information to fake passengers using stolen passports that changed their appearance. What one possible passenger who bypassed security. And an SOS at 243 intercepted and reported only in Chinese news, which is a plane attempting emergency landing. Trump leaked a similar satellite photo in 2019 of USA 224, which launched in 2011, same year as USA 229. And then it says debunking the suicide myth. Everyone stands up for him, including officials and his wife. 18, 000 flight hours. Coworkers loved him. So it's talking about the pilot. No indication of suicide intent in the flight path. Had a huge custom simulator. Not standard model. Zahari's flight simulator had been used to pilot two data points in the southern Indian Ocean. Or to plot. And route found on the simulator closely matches MH 150 route to Jeddah with a diversion at the end of the South Pole. He was rostered to fly MH 150, impossible to disconnect all four electrical generators. Flying over his hometown is silly. It was an emergency and people would kick down the door before they would get knocked out. Depressurization is slow. In most emergency scenarios, the plane is not going to last until it runs out of fuel. Now it's going on to debunk the fact that the actual of the debris, no debris found by the official search or above or below water. It says the debris found years later was not consistent with barnacle growth. Only the Flay Perrin was matched with a non unique serial number. One person claims to have found 10 plus pieces, which was featured and contested on a Netflix documentary. Oh, excuse me. No one is allowed to inspect it. Okay. So it's trying to debunk it addressing debunks of the videos. Clouds do move just slowly. So it's just going over some of the things that people are saying about that. Hmm. Interesting. Plane disappears. So it says teleportation. Plane disappears from space time instantly. Intermediate black hole event. Which was it being cold? A witness sees a possible red shifted glow or orange glow Using a plane because it's in open space, huh? Teleportation may be to hide the plane Family's phones were proven ringing on Chinese TV for days Impossible if underwater or in another dimension, huh? Traveling forward in time doesn't break causality But traveling backward in time does See time Dilation says the science wormholes have been shown to be theoretically possible by at least three scientific papers They all show that exotic material is not necessary One paper argues a thin shell could be used to safely transport an object outside of space time Description of an intermediate black hole is consistent with the zap we see in the videos And one paper discusses needing to remove unwanted particles from the area The orbs may have been super conductive the orbs could be cleaning the area in Deucing the mouth of the wormhole and or acting as the barrier for passage. And there's a real patent for a magnetic vortex wormhole generator. What the fuck? No way. Let's pull that one up. Patents. google. com. A patent number is. U. S. 20030197093A1, and I will include this in the sub stack as well, because now we need a sub stack on this one. So this invention, which is called Magnetic Vortex Wormhole Generator. What? This invention relates to a magnetic vortex generator, which has the ability to generate negative mass and a negative spring constant, which, according to Einstein's general theory of relativity, is required in order to create a stable wormhole between R space and hyperspace. Whaaaaat? Very interesting, above my scientific pay grade. But I will definitely be reading through this another time. And maybe I'll highlight some stuff for you when I throw it in the sub stack. Here's the article that came from the last day of Malaysia airline passengers with stolen passports. Okay, interesting. Could these be the aliens? Alright let's wrap this up here. It says Diego Garcia, 1, 700 military and 1, 500 civilian personnel. Space Force has 86, 000 total servicemen and women. Okay. Sighting of a passenger plane 50 miles north of the base flying low in the early morning. I wish he would have put this together better. Pilot had Diego Garcia in his simulator. Not open to commercial aircraft. Enough space for a 7 77. So wait, what is this? Diego Garcia? Is this supposed to be like a a military base or something? What is Diego Garcia? Diego Garcia Base. It's gotta be a military base. Diego Garcia is a British atoll in the Indian Ocean. It is an island of the British Indian Ocean Territory, an overseas territory of the United States Kingdom or the United Kingdom. It is a militarized atoll just south of the equator in the central Indian Ocean and the largest of 60 small islands. Huh. Okay. Interesting. Interesting. Because there was a theory that it landed there, I guess. Okay. Alright, moving on here. Not open to commercial aircraft, has enough space for a 777, has underground facilities with a black vault Freedom of Information Act showing it may be a CIA black site. Message from Philip Wood saying he had held captive with a picture of EXIF data, placing it at Diego Garcia. Tens of millions. To black construction for dredging and other activities. Lockheed Martin contract for upgrading power and water photos of Diego Garcia, Facebook that look like the crew seems like the new area 51 Strava heat map and the small boat Harbor outside of the yacht club seems very active. Do D reassessed privacy's policies for the troops after Strava revelations in 2018. Hmm. Theories and speculation. The reason to do this must be large enough to warrant the risk unlikely to be about money. Shadow war for control of this technology, 20 semiconductor scientists on board. Whoa. So saying that basically the reason that they would have done this was that there was 20 semiconductor scientists on board Malaysia air and they wanted to either remove them, kill them, whatever. Or transport them to this base. Says video suppressed to hide hyper advanced technology not known to the public. Interesting. Video suppressed to hide non human intelligence. Filming had intent. UAV is too slow to catch a 777 and US 229 is only in position for minutes. So the only reason it got filmed, they're saying, is because they wanted to see this, and then somebody leaked it. Primary narratives. Ones with the most evidence, and we're getting towards the end of this. Set the satellite computer to stick to IOR 30 minutes prior to takeoff to make the plane difficult to trace. Three fake passengers possibly in on the hijack. Pilots and crew may be in on it. Flight changed to the last minute. Same data of Diego. 1721 UTC event is electromagnetic jamming plane is flown to Penang as a waypoint and for flies directly towards the coordinates. U. S. military equipment is waiting to teleport the plane to Diego Garcia. Deals are made with the crew and passengers, countries of the passengers. Maldives sighting just north of Diego Garcia in the early morning, Philip Wood resists, where is he now, witness protection. Who is Philip Wood? Debris later thrown in the ocean. Crew lookalikes found on Facebook at Diego Garcia. Motive is control of the very technology we see in the video. And the last portion of this says, UFO emergency event. All right, it says 1721 event disconnects all four electrical generators and APU transponders similar to what an EMP or electromagnetic interference may do damage to the plane will cause it to ground quickly depressurization may be slow fire could have started lithium batteries could be a source of fuel or interest in the UFO angle copilot cell phone pings over Penang. Indicating calling for help. Next logical place to land is in the water. Other narratives, USO, UFO teleports the plane to another dimension or location. Ooh. And motive of the cover up is to hide non human intelligence and technology from the world. Whoa. Decoy plate theory. Second 777 used to spoof the pings and track trick in Marsat. This event was to gain control of patents for some nanochips related to the Rothschilds. What? This event was to gain control of patents for some nanochips related to the Rothschilds. Huh. UFO is saving the passengers from their own doom. UFO is attracted to the lithium batteries, or the governments are working with the NHI for shadowy purposes. Interesting. That is a crazy one. Crazy one. He says, submission statement, the MH370 videos are the largest verifiable conspiracy of all time. This has been a cover up by multiple nations and multiple individuals. This conspiracy has the potential to break the minds of many, as well as destroy confidence in world governments. And this came from the same individual who said, Thank you for contributing, supporting, and getting the message out. Wow. That's a... Crazy one, crazy one. That's one of my most favorite conspiracies that we've gone over. All right. Wonderful. I hope you got something out of that.

We're almost at the end of this mini-series! In our final segment, BJ and Rosie explore how to protect yourself from fascists and weirdos. In Part one of our five-part investigation, Rosie offers tips on how you can protect yourself from stalkers. It's a serious topic, so we're going to skip the jokes and get right to the advice:This Week's Privacy TipThere are A LOT of tips this week, so we're just going to go with a list if you don't mind:1. Do not respond to stalkers. No matter how much they threaten or try to manipulate you, cut them off.2. Page Vault is expensive; however, you can use it to create a digital log of all of your stalker's behavior that's admissible in court. So if the situation is serious and you have the funds? Give it a try.3. Get a Do Not Contact Order. If someone is stalking you, this is one of the first legal lines of defense you can use.4. Set up a PO BOX at least two towns over from where you actually live. Use an Amazon Locker to receive all your deliveries.5. Get a stranger-danger phone.6. Use the @ Duck email and these apps.7. Make sure your friends and family block your stalker and do not tag you in their posts.8. If you live in California, take advantage of the Safe at Home program to keep your mailing address unlisted. 9. Remove all EXIF data from your photos if you're going to upload any. (If not, set your social media accounts to private.)10. If you own any domain names, make sure you are using Private Registry to keep your information offline.11. Learn your IP address. Go to Google and search, "What is my ip address?". Then look at all of the places you log into and see if that's the only IP address that appears. If not, immediately change your passwords. 12. Experien13. Report all instances of online stalking to the FBI. Do not take any stalking lightly. If you are worried, file a report.14. Call Experian, Equifax, and Transunion to request a Fraud Alert on your credit Reports: Experian (888) 397-3742 Equifax (888) 766-0008 TransUnion (877) 322-8228 15. See below!Our Guest Is ...

Hey Wicked Hunters, I am excited to have Grant Swinbourne be part of The Wicked Hunt - The Art of Photography Podcast. Grant Swinbourne is a photographer from Sydney, Australia. He produces fine art images from his travels around the world, including seascapes, landscapes and travel images. Grant had a camera in his hands early, starting with 110mm film Instamatic cameras migrating to an SLR in 1984. Whilst his photography remained an interest, it was one that took a back seat to his career in IT, until he switched to digital photography in 2004. It's now gradually overtaken his time and is now his full-time career. Known mostly for his beautiful seascapes & cityscapes from along the East coast of Australia, he's also amassed a large portfolio of travel photography from many countries. Grant has had images published in several magazines, including Viajes National Geographic, the Spanish language travel magazine for National Geographic. In 2021 he was the driving force behind the establishment of the Aussie Artists Collective (https://twitter.com/AussieArtistCol) a collaborative team bringing together over 70 Australian artists displaying their work in two virtual galleries. Grant now runs educational workshops around the Sydney area to help beginners and intermediate photographers to improve their skills and learn new techniques for creating artistic landscapes and seascapes.

Once once you're dead, it's too late. But you know, so from my perspective, where you got to do is make sure that before you get there, get out there and do what it is that you're passionate about. Because if you're not actually doing what you're passionate about, then why you're doing it Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt 0:18 Hey Wicked Hunters, Welcome back to The Art of Photography podcast with Stanley oriental, where we talk about artists journey and how photography have given them hope, purpose and happiness. And today we have someone from downunder grant Swinburne is that did I pronounce your last name? Correct there, Grant Swinbourne 0:47 Grant. Oh, nice. Swinburne. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt 0:48 Yeah, Glyndebourne? There you are? How are you? Man? It's good to have you here. I'm so glad. You know, I know. We connected through Twitter, Twitter space, and, you know, eventually to the NFT world. But it's good to be to have you here and to be able to talk about your artist journey and, you know, being able to share that with the rest of the world. Yeah, thanks Grant Swinbourne 1:09 for having me, Sam. It's great to sort of connected if not in person, virtually. But it's, it's really good and really excited to share a bit more about me. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt 1:21 Yeah, it's always good, isn't it to be able to see that person. I think that's why that's why we like Twitter. And a lot of us gonna move from Instagram to Twitter, because we have that ability to start listening to people voice and have a deeper connection. But you know, being is no substitute to being able to see them in person or, you know, even through zoom, it's already helps a lot. So really is one of the things that I love about this podcast. Absolutely. All right. So you know that you are living in Sydney, Australia, and, you know, I've seen a lot of your work and a lot of your work are really have a really, what do you cater to a lot of the seascape and you know, all all the things around the Australian coats. So tell me, is that one of your biggest passion in photography, or you like to take a lot of other genres as well as just, you know, the fact that you're living on the coast in Australia? Grant Swinbourne 2:16 Yeah, I guess, you know, Australia, I mean, it's got a massive coastline. And, you know, to be honest, I mean, I've been to I've been to a few places around the world, luckily enough, but in my opinion, you know, in certain places around Australia, yeah, we're very lucky to have the kind of coastline that we do. There's a lot of beaches that, you know, you can go to some beaches along the coast and not seeing another person. That's not the case in Sydney echo. It's, it's, it's pretty crowded, particularly in summer. But for me, I guess I've always, you know, I've been I was born a couple of streets away from a beach on Botany Bay in Sydney. And so the birch and being around the sea, and around the, the estuaries around Sydney has been part of my life ever since I was born. And I guess I'm always drawn to it, I've always loved swimming, I've always loved that sort of feeling of relaxation that you get, you know, when you've gone to the beach, and whether you've sat there and what's the sunrise or whether you've, you know, gone for a swim or you've gone fishing, or you've gone diving or whatever, you know, it's a good feeling, you know, and I guess for me, that's one of the things that I tried to portray in some of my photography is that feeling of what it's like to have that relaxation even though you might be in a, in quite a crowded cities, and very busy lifestyle, and whatever, there's always these places that you can go to seek a bit of refuge and seek some relaxation. And so for me, that's, that's, I guess, one of the things that I'm trying to communicate with quite a lot of my photography that said, you know, on just as at home, you know, chasing waterfalls, or you know, out in out in a bush scene looking for, you know, mountains and whatever, recently did a trip to the UK and did quite a lot of photography around the Lake District and north Wales, you know, nowhere near the coast and very much about the mountains and so forth. So for me, they're, they're landscapes that I'm equally comfortable in and really, really happy about learning in those places. And, you know, again, it's about the conveying the feeling of being there. That's really what I'm trying to portray. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt 4:39 Yeah, that's, that's the cool thing about you know, photography. I think that's one of why the reason why I love photography, the moment is that you could be in a crowded place, but like when you really do need your photography, it's like, you're in the bubble and everything, and we've done it right. That's such a cool feeling. And when you say that I just like yeah, I know exactly like, even if you're like in Bondi Beach like you could just like Sit there have your camera and and like, everything else doesn't just like nothing else matters. So that's really Yeah. So like, what what's your, you know? I love hearing that, you know, like, how can your connection with photography right and your full time live and you know how to be gender coastline really affected you a lot? How did you first fall in love with photography? Like, you know, were you always like holding a camera? Or was there a point in your life where you you just fell in love with them? Grant Swinbourne 5:34 Yeah, I guess it's always been a part of life for me my father, we he was quite a keen photographer. Never, you know, he never really did anything that you know, anyone I guess would call particularly artistic in terms of you know, he never tried to make photography a career or anything like that, you know, the, the art of photography that said, you know, he was always, you know, taking photos on family holidays, or whatever, you know, this is before I was even born. And I remember, he did a lot of stuff that he did from his time in the Navy, in the 1950s and 60s. And I used a lot of sitting there with him on slide nights, you know, so they, obviously they taking photos that ended up being transparencies of slides and loading them into a feeder and then sitting there slotting them through the the slide projector, just up on the on the wall in the lounge room. And, you know, sitting there watching, you know, some of his life portrayed, I guess, in that and you know, as a very young child, I guess that sort of struck me as something that was really cool and interesting to do. I got my sorry about that. I got my first camera when I was probably about 10. And that was a little 110 millimetre you know, happy snapper. film camera was an egg for instamatic. I think it was. And so from there, you know, obviously, growing up in the film days, there was nothing else there was no such thing as digital photography in those days. It was really a matter of, you know, just taking photos of things that I thought were interesting at the time. You know, whether that was down at the beach, or you know, just the back stairs in my grandmother's house, for example. Or the other family cat, it really didn't really didn't really matter to me much at that time. What I took photos of it was just like, Oh, that looks interesting. I'll take a photo of it, you know, and some of them were abysmally awful. Technically, because the camera itself wasn't meant to chop, the subject matter, I had no idea about composition and all those sorts of things. Anyway, fast forward, I guess, until I'd grown up a little bit. And, you know, somewhere, when was it about the mid 80s, mid 1980s, I bought my first SLR, which was a Minolta SG one. And I started to get a little bit more serious about it. And, you know, started to look at, you know, how to how to create a composition and how to how to, you know, develop my own film and that sort of thing. You know, going to high school, and, you know, there was, you know, in art, we'd be messing around mostly with black and white, because colour was expensive, you know, colour enlargers I don't think we had one at the school. You know, they weren't, they were few and far between and very expensive pieces of kit back in the back in the 70s and 80s When I went to school, and so that sort of just drove a little bit more of their creative juices for photography. Funnily enough, though, when I left school and had sort of started to go out to work and whatever work in careers started to take over, then, you know, getting married, having kids, that took even more time, you know, and I sort of started to give up some of those passions a little bit, to concentrate on those things more, you know, more fully. And again, I guess later in in life, once the kids started to get to an age where they were a little bit more self sufficient. I went out and got a digital photography and started to get to a point where I had a few point and shoots, which I did okay with that still wasn't satisfying me. So I ended up buying a Canon DSLR I think it was the 500 D originally. And so yeah, it just started to get a little bit more serious and you know, one of the things that is always fascinated me from some of my father's photography, but also, you know, some of the stuff that I've done at school was long exposure and how that gives you a different look and feel to the image rather than something that you know, it's Just to point out and shoot and get that instant moment, it was about, okay taking the time. And so I really started to develop that. And you know, see scaping really lends itself to that sort of, genre of photography, it's, it's really nice to see that flow, or that totally smooth water, as opposed to not saying that there's anything wrong with the frozen moment as the of the water, but from a aesthetically, I just, I just find it really pleasing to see that smoothing out of the movement of the water, etc. And, you know, that's, I guess what drew me back into that. And so I, I do a lot of it, because I enjoy it. I also enjoy getting up early in the morning now, not very early in the morning, but I don't mind it and enjoy seeing and being somewhere that not many people ask me, you know, I mean, even though Sydney's got, you know, five or 6 million people often go to the beach and see something that only a few 100 People might say, you know if that? Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt 11:03 Yeah, that's fantastic. Yeah, I think that's the thing, isn't it? Like, just because people gone there, they don't necessarily see everything. And as a photographer, we tend to observe more, because we want to look for something deeper, something that has connection with us. So you're absolutely right. I mean, here's the funny thing, I went down to my hometown, and I lived there for probably like, 12 years in my life, right? And I'm driving, we're driving in this road that I always drive, like, every single day, like you cannot not drive to that, you know. And just last month, when I was back, I was like driving like, wow, I didn't know there was a mountain, you know, like, right. And so you know, those kind of things you don't notice, until I started to do photography, and start to observe the landscape and everything around a little bit more and deeper. So it's crazy how much you take for granted. Yeah, I love hearing your story. You know, like, just how you got into photography. And it's something like it's been a long journey. How long have you been taking photography in general? Like, do you? Do you have a number? Grant Swinbourne 12:09 Yeah, not not really, I don't really count the, you know, the 10 year old photos in that though, you know, I guess some some people might, you know, and not because I'm ashamed of them or anything, because they were so bad. But I mean, they were, they were truly awful. I look at him now. And I go, you know, what was I think Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt 12:31 we all have that kind of photos. Grant Swinbourne 12:32 Yeah, I guess I guess probably since 1984, taking a little bit more seriously. But that said, you know, having that hiatus with the, you know, the, the career and whatever that I had, you know, I got very absorbed in that, and I'd love doing it wouldn't wouldn't have swapped it, it's enabled me to, you know, financially secure my family and all that sort of thing. So, you know, there's, there's, there's a lot of good came out of concentrating on that not on photography now, could I've kept, you know, focusing on that a little bit more on maybe, but, you know, other things got in the way. And it just, it just got left behind. And it was an interest that it was not something that I felt passionate enough about at the time to really get into it. And so, I guess, in all seriousness, probably about 2004, was where I started to get a little bit more, you know, with digital, get get more, I guess, passionate about bringing it to the fore. And now, you know, the end of my career in terms of working I've basically finished work. Or working sorry, I finished working for somebody else in November last year. And so I decided, at that point, you know, financially we were fairly secure with, we're comfortable, we can survive without needing necessarily to make a lot of money. And so I thought, Okay, well, I'm going to make photography, the forefront and work for myself. And so I started doing workshops and started selling prints as you as you do, probably over the last couple of years have started to you know, try to build that brand a little bit. And part of that also, you know, last year with the lock downs that we had here, I couldn't travel more than five kilometres outside my local area for a period of about 165 days, I think, which basically was driving me nuts because there's no beaches within five kilometres of where I live. And so and, you know, I live in suburban Sydney, there's lots of houses, telegraph poles, and I know people take photos of that, but it doesn't drive my passion it does doesn't make me really want to get out there and take those sorts of shots. You know, there's no real parks. There's one with a little brown creek that doesn't look very attractive, you know, there's usually shopping trolleys, and those sorts of things lying around the banks of the hair. You know, so there wasn't a lot to photograph, or I didn't feel it was you know, and so what I did was I decided to start a podcast, you know, similar similar to yours, you know, talking to photographers about, you know, what drives them, and what makes them passionate. So, you know, landscape photography world was born almost exactly a year ago, I think it was the 21st of July, so, only a few weeks away from where we're recording this to, you know, to start building that as, as a means of starting to build the rest of the photography brand as well. So that people, you know, know who you are you, you start to get your name associated with other photographers, etc. And you get known in the photographic industry as well, I think so, part of that, it's really just about trying to try to help build that brand and get, get my name out there and also help promote others, because to me, you know, that act of helping others helps me, you know, aside from making, you know, my name, get out there more, you know, helping others get their name out there and get their photography seen. As we were talking, before we started, you know, one of the, one of the biggest issues for any photographer is their ability to get seen, and if you're not being seen them, you know, sales are going to be much harder, you know, whether they're NF T's or prints or workshops, you know, and so it is really about that hassle of getting your brand out there and people knowing about you, and knowing about what you what you're doing. So helping others do that. Yes, it helps me but it also helps them so familiar, it's a really important thing to do. And that's why I've got involved in in a number of other projects that I've done as well. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt 16:51 Yep, fantastic, made, you know, I was going to bring out the podcast, because I know you're doing a podcast as well. And I'd like to know a little bit more about it. So I'm glad that you mentioned that. And I think what you mentioned there is really powerful, you know, like, you always when you give something out to other people, it will come back and, you know, one of the biggest thing that I'm the reason why I started this podcast was just like, I have a burnout, you know, back in 2020, I think so I just want to hear people's journey and understand, like, do they go through this thing? You know, what, what do they do to get out of it and all this stuff, right? So apart from you know, like what you say, of course, you get the benefit of getting associated with the photographer's you know, getting the exposure, but the cool thing about this is like, you get to listen about other people journey and what people struggle with. And, you know, it really helps you that you realise that you're not alone. So for listeners who feel like, you know, they haven't got to where they are, you know, they want it to be that, you know, everyone have their own journey that you got to trust your own journey and follow through with your own journey. Because if we all have the same journey, then we're no different than the computer or underworld being manufactured, we are not manufacture we're human, we're unique. So I think that's, that is so powerful that you share that, thanks for sharing that. Now, I know that you, I think that's really cool that you put, you know, looking at your journey, it's been a really, really long journey to fall into, you know, finally, more into full time based on photography and trying to get that brand up there. And I'm interested to hear this, right, because I know there's gonna be a lot of people out there who say, You know what, I'm getting too old. And, you know, and at the end of my, my, my life, and I'm retired, I don't think I can restart, you know, this passion of mine and stuff like that. But you decided to let you know, the photography kind of just brewing its own and you know, create its own momentum. And I think that's really cool. But you never, ever give up on it and just keep going, keep going. Exactly. Finally, you get to like, Do it, do what you love the most. wants everything secure. So what would you what would you say to those people who feel like it's, it's too late or, you know, I'm not good enough. I'm not good with technology and all these things that come to their head that I know it's not true. Because I know a lot of people, you know, pick it up very quickly. And I teach workshops and courses as well. It's not that hard to learn, right, if they wanted to. Yeah, but what would you say to people who have that kind of mentality so that they can, you know, if they love photography, they can pursue that themselves without having that doubts? Grant Swinbourne 19:29 Yeah, I think, you know, making it a career is not necessarily for everyone, and not everyone should do it. And I'm not trying to put people off doing it because it's a tough business to get into. It's very crowded. There's a hell of a lot of people out there. And some will be better than us. Some will be worse than us photographically. And I think the key is to look at what it means to you as a photographer, if it means that you're able to, you know, create art And that's your primary driver, then pursue that and push that as hard as you can. If it's more about making money, then you know, you need to do different things necessarily, then just focus, you got to do the artistic piece as well. But then there's other things that you need to, you know, sit down and think hard about, you know, how do I, how do I sustain? And how do I diversify my income streams so that when people aren't buying prints, or, you know, attending workshops, or whatever, that you know, you've got other passive income streams coming in. So it's really, then you've got to actually have a bit of a business head on your shoulders to actually say, Okay, well, these are the things that that I need to do to actually make money out of them, probably one of the one of the hardest bits, I guess, in doing that is that need to be all things in that business, you know, you need to be not only the artist, but you know, first and foremost, you've got to be the marketer. So that you've basically got to be able to write some copy, and you've got to put together some kind of advertising, whatever that whatever that looks like, you know, these days, if you want to be on Instagram, you better be good at video editing. IT and technology is there to help you. And there are things that do make things like video editing, and so forth a lot easier. And even putting together together your marketing pieces. Yeah, there are things that can actually help you. So getting into that mindset of researching the tools that you need, building the skill sets that you need, so that you've actually got a set of skills that works in terms of being too late, it's never too late. Unless you there, once munchie dead, it's too late. But you know, so from my perspective, what you got to do is make sure that before you get there, get out there and do what it is that you're passionate about. Because if you're if you're not, if you're not actually, you know, doing what you're passionate about, then why are you doing it? And I guess, you know, for me, could I have done it earlier? Yes, probably would I've had the, the brain space and the skill set that I needed? Well, no, because I've built that up over time, you know, and it's really about getting to the right time, when you can actually do it now Should I've, you know, held onto some of that photographic passion during my other career, while there may be for me, that would have been at the detriment to other elements in the career. And so therefore, you know, I'm not sure that it would have worked for me to do it much earlier than I have. You know, it's I mean, it's really hard to say, and it's going to be an individual choice and an individual thing for everyone. And it's something that you've got to be really comfortable with, and something that you've got to make sure that you're passionate enough about to be able to see it through and have the energy that it takes to actually drive, you know, those marketing elements, and, you know, the, the business elements on top of the actual, you know, passionate pursuit of creating nice art, you know, that that in itself can be all consuming for some people, and they don't have any space for anything else. And, you know, for some people, you know, offloading some of those other things, like the marketing and so forth to other other people can help. But then that cost you money. So, unless you've got a family member that's willing to do it for you. So it's really, it's really hard to sort of give anyone advice without knowing their individual circumstance. But you know, from my perspective, it's really about making sure that you're, you've got the passion, you've got the desire to do it, and you feel that you've got the skill set. If you don't feel that way, then you're probably not ready. You know, it's, that's, that's the, the key thing, but the sooner you drive, to get those skills and get the elements lined up, that you need to line up, you just need to think about it from a planning perspective and say, okay, if I'm going to do this, these are the things that I need, you know, I need to know how to do marketing, I need to know how to do my own accounts. I need to I don't know how to do the administrative side of things, you know, if you if you're gonna make it a business, if you're not gonna make it a business, then it's, it's, they're more about, okay, well, how am I going to create good art? And that's really, okay. Well, once you've got the technical aspects of photography down, Pat, that's where the learning really starts. Because the technical aspects, you know, to me probably about, you know, 10 to 15% of learning photography, the real skill comes when you start to look at composition, quality of life and how that reacts to the landscape, you know, in talking about landscape photography, which is probably my main passion, but also, you know, equally that can work in, you know, portraits or you know, street photography. You know, portrait, at least I guess if you're in a studio situation, you can control the light. So very, very different. But if you're in the street, you know, that play of light and shadow is a key part of making your art look good, but also a key part of giving a feeling and telling a story. I think a lot, a lot of art really needs to tell that story to become to transcend from just being a nice picture to being something that you know, people feel and get a reaction from. Because if it's, if it's a nice picture, that's great, yes, you can hang that on the wall. But, you know, most people are only going to do that if they're feeling a connection with that image. And they're only going to do that if that image has some kind of, you know, I guess powerful elements in it that make you go Yeah, I feel something out of this, you know, whether it's happiness, sadness, or anger, you know? Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt 25:54 Fantastic, wow, that's a whole lot of advice there. So, you know, even though you said that, it's hard to give advice, I think that's a really good advice to give is to start with a passion. I remember when I had that, that burnout, that was the biggest thing was that I forgot why I started to begin, why I started in the first place, right? So man, like, I truly agree with that. And, you know, like, you, I think you're right, you know, a lot of people think, you know, I started when I was 30. And nowadays, there's a lot of photographers who's like, 14, and you know, 13, and 19, and it's gonna be a different story, it's gonna be a different passion, it's gonna be a different thing. So, you know, don't try to love what you say, you know, like, everyone's different, everyone have their own story have their own journey, I think that's absolutely, absolutely true. And being able to understand, like, you know, the lights and composition, I think that is the two biggest thing that you can learn from photography, because, like you say, even in a studio, where you can control the light, you can't control anything that you don't understand. First. Grant Swinbourne 27:03 And to me, you know, whether you whether you look at that is another technical aspect in a studio situation, or whether you're, you know, whether you see that as something creative. Doesn't matter to me, but you're quite right, if you don't understand it, you can't control it, and you can't then, you know, work it so that you're actually getting the result that you're looking for. And some of my work is, you know, potluck, you know, because you happen to be in the right place at the right time. You know, there's many times I go out for sunrise, at a beach, for example. And, you know, it's just cloud on the horizon. You know, and or, you know, just the solid, overcast, despite the fact that I've looked at a forecast that says, yes, the, you know, there could be 80%, high cloud and no low cloud, you know, you get there and that's just low cloud, and it's just, you know, what am I doing here, but then sometimes that's where you go out and you find something different to shoot you. And you don't, the key is that by the time that you've taken, if you've taken the time to go out with your camera, and then, you know, the, for me, that's one of the key things is that you can then learn, okay? Like, let's say you're at a beach and you know, it's, it's a really crappy looking sunrise, that you're not going to get that bang, and that you were hoping for, well, don't get discouraged, because you can then take shots or the way flow maybe and get something out of that. You could look at details in the rocks and do more intimate abstracts, you know, there's a whole raft of different things that you can do with that time. And it's a really around that thought process of saying, Okay, well, okay, I'm going to cut off the the disappointment that I feel from, you know, the fact that the sunrise didn't happen the way I hoped it would, and focus on you know, other things that you can do creatively and, you know, it's taking that creative mindset out into the field with you. And then bringing that home into the post production side of things as well that really, I think transcends it from just being a photographer to being a really good photographer to potentially a great photographer, and you see the great photographers, they're taking every opportunity that they've got, you know, if if the conditions are particularly in landscape, if the conditions don't work for you do something different and change, change your focus from our bed like the sunrise didn't work for me, you know, I'm now going to try something a little bit you know, alternative to that sunrise and it's really about keeping that open mind and I guess learning to live with the disappointments that are gonna come because I've had some title failures of shoots where I go out and nothing you know, I've forgotten that I you know, the last shoot that I've done, you know, might have been an astro shoots and we're in right and I've left the the lens on manual focus, and I've got it set up in bold mode. And so I get there set up and I haven't changed it from bold mode and I haven't changed the order. And the first couple of shots is like that's a mess. So, what am I doing? You know, and it's about, you know, clicking, you know, curricula. So that might that might have been a week or so ago, you know, and you've just forgotten that. That's, that's how you left your camera, you know. And so you know, it's about clicking into gear and getting your head around that and getting focused again, on what it is that you're shooting and changing your, your mindset from, you know, whatever, whatever you were planning to shoot to what it is, you're going to do now. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt 30:25 Yeah, no, that's, that's, I think, that happens to the best of us. I know, it's still happened with me all the time. But I think it's just, you know, if you understand it, then you know, how to how to fix it. Right. So that's such a good advice there grant. And, you know, I want to talk about a community, you know, we we've been seeing that, in this industry, in photography, actually, in any industry, you know, especially nowadays, it's no longer about, you know, branding, and you know, having people just worship the brand, but now, it's about what you can give out to the community. And when you know, what I want to hear and learn from you. And, you know, like, you already mentioned, how you build the community, one of the things that you do to build a community is through podcasts. But there's a lot of, I know that you're doing a lot of different projects to build that community. So what I want to learn, what I want you to share with the audience so that they can learn from you is that what are the different ways for you to build a community and how important it is to build the community? Grant Swinbourne 31:28 Yeah, sure. I think in terms of community, there's, there's a number of different things that you've got to look at, you know, there's this the community, I guess, that you get, with social media and the following, and so forth, and interacting with your followers, whether they're fellow photographers, or whether they're, you know, just people that like your photography, or whatever, you know, interacting. So when somebody makes a comment, I make a point, you know, whether it's on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or whatever, I thank them on thanking them for the comment, you know, even if even if it's on, you probably should have composed that differently. You know, I accept that criticism, because, you know, in some people's eyes, what I've done isn't perfect, and that's okay. You know, and it's learning to be open to listening to to other opinions and people, that's really important. You know, particularly when, you know, they're part of your audience, and, you know, fellow photographers are part of your audience as well, because that's how people learn, you know, certainly, it's how I've learned is looking at what other people are doing. And, you know, in some cases, copying, you know, and or trying to replicate it, you know, to me, there's absolutely nothing wrong in that, yes, okay, everyone wants to create something unique, or we'd like to create something unique. But you know, if you're going to shoot the Sydney Opera House, how many unique angles are there for not many, you know, there's probably a few 100 that you could, places that you could stand to get a different angle of it. And, you know, the different lighting that you're going to get is going to depend on the time of day. So the point is, is that copying is a way of learning. And so, you know, looking at what other people are doing, helps you, and you have to recognise that other people are going to copy you. If you get any kind of notoriety out in the in the industry, you know, people are going to look at your work and go, I'd like to replicate that. How did you do that? You know, and that's, that's how you how you learn it. It's also one of the reasons why when I post a lot of the time, I will include my camera settings. So I'll put the EXIF up there, I'll tell you what camera and lens I'm using. I'll tell you, whether it's an exposure blend, or whether it's a single image, I'll tell you, you know, pretty much anything you want. And if anybody asks, and some people do, not many people do, but you know, some people ask, you know, how did you do that? And they'll tell you, if it's a composite, you know, there's no hiding, as far as I'm concerned and trying to say, Oh, this amazing image of a lighthouse on a point at night with the Milky Way behind it, you know, there's absolutely no way that you if you've got the lighthouse in front of you and the light shining, right that you can actually see the Milky Way a little and take a photo of it. Yeah, you might see a few stars, but you're not gonna get that Milky Way, you know, milk that you're going to see, you're going to have to make a composite of it to to actually make that work unless you got some amazing gear. That does something that I don't know that. So, you know, it's really about, you know, that that learning side of things is is a big part of community. Beyond that, I guess, in terms of building communities, I see that is really important and helping people promote their own work, you know, certainly has helped me both promote my work, but also it's helped me understand other people and get to know other people that I wouldn't have ordinarily come into contact with, you know, yes, you can sit there passively on social media, for example, and just look at like and whatever. And never, never engage with people to me. The word social in social media is Really the main point of it. So if you're not interacting with it in that way, you're not talking to people. You're not asking people questions, you're not commenting and saying, Yeah, well, I like this, but or I don't like that, you know? What's the point of being on social media, you know, if you're not engaging in that way, so, to me, building that community in that way, is important. And I guess this really came to the fore, probably about August, July, August, last year, I started to get into NF T's in a little way, you know, mental review items and so forth. And was trying to work out how that traction, I guess that, you know, needed to happen could happen for, you know, for me, personally, because, yes, I'd like to sell some NF T's and make some money out of it, because that was one of the things that a lot of people got into, but then recognise that, you know, to do that, you got to have actually have to communicate and the, you see comments from collectors of NF T's, you know, saying that one of the key things for them, aside from the feeling they get from the art itself, is the conversations that I have with the artists. And so getting that conversation going and getting people involved in that conversation is really, really important. And so I guess one of the things that I did a little bit of thinking, I saw some of the traction that some of the New Zealand photographers were getting in that NFT space, because they kind of the thing is they already had a community where a lot of them knew one another, a lot of them had shot together and so forth, because there are a smaller community than some other countries in the world. And I'm not saying I'm not saying that disparagingly, I'm saying that, because it's just the fact that we're smaller, they're a smaller country, smaller community, it's easier for them to get together physically, in a lot of ways, you know, than it is might be, it's really difficult for me to go and shoot with a guy in Perth, because it's a six hour flight away, you know, whereas someone in Sydney, I can ring up and we can connect and go and shoot, you know, which is great. But, you know, if you want that whole Australian experience, then you know, it's not all about Sydney, or Brisbane or Melbourne. It's, it's about the entire country. And so some of these guys getting some traction, because they were sort of supporting one another mainly in Twitter, retweeting, and so forth. And I had a bit of a think about it and thought, Okay, well, one of the ways that we could do this is we could actually create a collective of Australian artists and get them together to start promoting each other's work. Beyond that, we also saw the rise of things like on cyber, where you have these virtual galleries, you know, 3d galleries where, you know, either in VR or on just on a on a 2d screen, you can actually move around a virtual gallery space, looking at the art. And so I reached out to a number of people that I knew, but also some people that I didn't know, and asked if they'd be interested in submitting their work through a gallery. And so we did the first gallery, which was, I think, 44 pieces with 22. Artists, we then grew that to being 110 pieces in a much larger gallery, with 68 artists. And so from that developed, through the chats, a bit of discord, you know, conversation spaces and so forth, we started to build a, I guess, a photographic community within Australia, that was that self supporting and now we have, you know, a number of people joining, you know, group chats, and so forth, so that they can come into that fold and, you know, help promote one another's work, you know, so we, we talk to one another, you know, I guess it's offline a little bit, you know, it's still online, but it's, it's out of the public view, about what we're going to do, and then we go and do it. And in the public vein, it looks like there's, there's a bunch of guys or by guys and girls that, you know, sort of work together to try and promote one another's work. And so for me, a, it's really helped in not just providing work, but it's, it's helped in developing that community in that relationship with people, there's a connection there, and you know, that you can go to that person, you know, I know that there's been some, you know, technical issues that have come up with, you know, people's wallets, or on open sea or on foundation and whatever. And people have been able to help within that community to actually resolve some of those issues or give advice about how to resolve them. But there's also been some collaborations that have come out of it. And there's also been some work opportunities for one another where people who've gone out and helped on shoots or have helped with web design or help with, you know, building other projects. And so you know, that community building I think is is something that It's really important to be part of the community because we're, we're not individuals that are islands that are able to do everything ourselves. You know, some people are lucky and gifted that way, but not many of us. Certainly not. Yeah. And so by being able to lean on other people's skills and their knowledge and their backgrounds, you can actually, you know, bring your knowledge forward and bring your skill set forward. And you can learn a lot. And to me, you know, it's one of the things that I think, should be probably, you know, a mantra for everybody is never stop learning, you know, because if you stop learning, then, you know, you're not going to progress. You know, progress only comes through learning. And so it's really about educating yourself and educating other people with things that you may know, or they may know that you don't know. And it's that sharing of information that really, I find the most valuable part out of it, let alone any sales or whatever, which might come out of it. From a financial perspective. To me, the most enriching part is not the financial part, it's actually the learning. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt 41:05 Wow, that is one whole lot of advice and wisdom there. Thanks a lot for sharing that grant. I think, you know, like, when I first started, especially like this, there was a time where I wanted to do like fashion photography and stuff. And there was a lot of this notion where, you know, like, we are competing against each other, and I think I'm really happy that especially in this NFT world, you know, even though I know that there are a lot of jealousy, a lot of, you know, a lot of competition and all that stuff, which, you know, I don't think we can ever get away from it, right? We're only human, but we're, we're seeing a lot more community based, where we help each other support each other. And what's really cool is that I feel like I'm, you know, that community translate translate back to, like, you know, the whole bigger community as well, you know, that's not only in the NFT. And I think it's really cool to be able to see people coming together, you know, without being scared or worried that you know, their their work, we're going to be competing against each other, but instead, just have that peace of mind and have that supportive nature to help each other. So, I always, you know, I'm very honoured to be part of the community, the Australian collective community. And, you know, it's awesome that you put everyone together to be part of that. And, like you say, it's not only, you know, we're able to help each other with the exposure, but we create, we're making friends, we genuinely creating connection with other people. I mean, that's why I have you here and get you share your wisdom. So yeah, this is I think this the really coolest thing about about photography, it's not only the photography itself, but we are, you know, the connection that you make out of that. So thanks a lot for sharing that grant. We're coming to the hour mark now. And one of the things that I always ask my, you know, my podcast guests is that if you have one advice that you can give to, to the audience, whether it's a life advice, photography, advice, or whatever it may be, what would that advice be, Grant Swinbourne 43:10 I guess, get started on what makes you, you know, happy, as quick as you can do it as early as you can. So, if you want to make a career out of photography, you know, make the decision, the key thing is making the decision. And once you've made the decision, that that's what you're going to do, then build a plan for how you're going to do it. Because very rarely do people go out and just do things, you know, building a plan, I think is absolutely vital. If you're going to try and make a living out of something, if you don't have a plan for it. And what you're going to do, if something fails, or something doesn't work the way that you'd like, you know, having that plan and having the backup plan or plan B plan C, having that plan is absolutely vital. So for me, you know, just get started, make the decision to you know, get into it, or, you know, make the decision that it's just gonna be a hobby, you know, and if it's just gonna be a hobby, and you're happy with that, stick with that, you know, but you know, make, make a decision about what it means to you as early as you can. And then don't forget that you can change your mind. And, you know, if decision AI is the wrong one, this is where Plan B and Plan C come in, you know, you can always go with decision B, you know, and say okay, well, it's not working as a business. So I'll keep it as a hobby, and I'll get on work and drive Ubers or whatever it is that you need to do to make the money to survive and keep shelter over your head and feed your family or whatever, you know that that's fine. Whatever it takes to do that. Then, you know, it's really up to you to make your path and decide how you want to how you want to fit this into your life. And if you want to make it all consuming and you want to make it your business and you want to make money out of it, then you know, warning is you might not but you know you You won't if you don't try, and if you don't start, so make that decision as early as you possibly can. And then, you know, go and do everything you possibly can to make it happen. Because if you're not doing everything you possibly can to make it happen, it'll never happen. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt 45:13 Wow, that is a great advice. I wish you'd come to my life a little bit earlier in, in my life, Grant Swinbourne 45:20 I wish I'd made that decision. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt 45:24 I think that it's really important to to be able to make that decision, you know, like, I know that I started this journey, because you exactly what you say I would rather you know, fail and go back to, you know, try something else rather than not knowing right? The what if, what if it does? Well, you know, what, if I, I, what if it worked out what if you know, all these things finally actually make, I can make things happen and actually do something that I really happy about? So, I think it's really powerful that you you mentioned that. And one of the things that's really cool is, you know, it's never too late. Right? Like, absolutely not. I love how you say, you can always change your mind, because that is absolutely true. You know, I take this seminar with Tony Robbins, and he's like one of the, you know, the best in mindset in life and all this stuff. And one of the things that he says, like, make decision quick and change slowly. Right. So what do you say that really hits that home? And I think in many cases, we're just too scared of you know, what could have gone wrong, but a lot of that is just in our head. So that is great advice. Great advice. Grant Swinbourne 46:31 Yeah. I remember, probably one of the one of my favourite sayings is that if you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right. Yeah, Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt 46:44 that's, that's very true. You know, it's all about how you believe in yourself. And your, your, your belief, I'm going to drive everything. While the grant, it's been a really nice conversation. I love getting to know you, I love getting to know your story. And I love hearing all of your wisdom. It's been amazing, you know, just hearing all of this things that, that you draw back from your experience, and hopefully, you know, we can hunters who are listening to this podcast, can draw that inspiration when they're not sure of which way to go. Because I think you're absolutely right. You don't have to do this full time. I think, you know, it takes a lot of a certain personality for people to enjoy full time. But yeah, it's like, I've never met anyone who doesn't enjoy photography, if they can do it, right. I think because Grant Swinbourne 47:32 it's not like golf, golf can frustrate the hell out of you. Yeah. To a certain degree, if you know, but I think I've applied golf, and I get a lot more satisfaction out of photography than I do at a golf. A lot more frustration out of golf than I do out of photography. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt 47:52 Awesome. Yeah. So for the audience who want to learn more about you connect with you and you know, want to see more of your work, what is the best way for them to, to connect with you and, guys, I will, you know, like always, always, I will always have that link in the description. So if you need to, you know, click on it or want to go to it, it's right there. But what is the best way to connect with you? Grant Swinbourne 48:16 You can find me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube. Brands, if you're looking for grand Swinburne photography, you should be able to find me. Also, you can you can find my podcast, landscape photography world, anywhere where you get podcasts. There's also a YouTube channel where that it's the grand Swinburne photography channel on YouTube, where you can listen to episode see the teasers and so forth. So, you know, pretty much any, any social media I don't do Tik Tok though, so, because video really isn't my thing. But, you know, that's, that's, that's me. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt 48:53 Fantastic. Well, thanks a lot, Grant. You know, it's been a great conversation. And thank you for being here. Grant Swinbourne 49:00 Thank you very much for having me sale. It's been an absolute pleasure. And I look forward to talking to you from the other side of the microphone on landscape photography world at some point. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt 49:10 That will be interesting. I'd love I'd love to have that. But yeah, it's been a really great conversation. I really enjoyed this podcast. So thank you for it for the time that you've spirit. To Stanley. Thanks very much, Matt. All right weekend as well. Thanks a lot for listening. And I'm glad that you tuned in today. You know, Grant has been grant stories has been inspiring from when he started his photography to like taking it seriously to where he is right now. pursuing it full time. I think it's one of the coolest journey that I've heard and he said it himself you know, all you have, all you need is that to believe in yourself whether you can or no, it's really up to you. So I think that's such a really cool thing that he brought up at the end of this to wrap everything up. But if you haven't hit the subscribe button and do so so that you can hear next people and the next thing points story as well as their journey. on how to you know pursue not only photography full time but if you only want to do it as a hobby you know there's a lot of guests in my podcast that doesn't really do it full time so hit that subscribe button and I'll see you guys next week all right well until next time weekenders

早安,我是叶梓,今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第1955天。咱们EIZO杯摄影大赛在这周五就要截止征稿了,有的同学反映说:老师,你那个征稿要求能不能给我解说一下?可以啊,而且我们还能从中学到不少知识呢。好吧,我们一个一个来看一下。首先,这是一个不限主题的征稿,投稿题材不限,拍摄的器材不限,后期的技法也不限,也就是说这就是一个艺术摄影的比赛。它不像是新闻摄影比赛那样,严格地要求说你不能PS,不能增减事物等等之类的,也不会像风光摄影或者是人像摄影比赛那样,对整个照片拍的是什么有所要求。换句话说就是自由发挥吧。Photo by wong zihoo on Unsplash第二条和第三条要求每人只限三幅作品,并且只是单幅照片,不接受组照。这里我们可以学到的是:哦,原来我们拍作品有两种基本的展现形式,一个是单张的,一张照片就是一个故事,一张照片就是一个主题。还有一种是通过多张照片共同组成组照,组照一般也得十来张往上走,对吧?大的可能有上百张成为一组,形成一个画册或者是一个展览。但是这次比赛中我们只要求你投三张照片,每张照片之间是没有关系的,甚至是可以独立的。那么每张照片我们在投稿时都会要你写上一个照片标题,那个标题肯定是跟主题有关的。Photo by Mylene Tremoyet on Unsplash第四点要求说,这个照片投稿的时候长边不小于2000像素。本质上来讲,这一条其实是对照片清晰度的要求,你的照片很大、很清晰,那很好啊,直接上传就好了。但是如果要小照片的话,文件不太大的话,那它的最长的那条边,比如说横着拍的照片的长边和竖着拍的照片的高的那条边,它不能小于2000像素。这是一个在网络上的摄影比赛的基础要求,因为小于2000像素,画面就一定会显得很模糊,在手机屏幕上看可能都看不太清楚。我们之前还聊到过另一种比赛的要求,那种比赛会说:你这个照片必须多少兆以上,我们当时专门花了一期早自习来提醒大家,这个多少兆,它是对文件大小的要求,跟照片本身的清晰度并没有那么直接的关系。所以更专业、更标准的要求,确实应该是要求长边或宽边的像素或者是整个照片的像素总量,而不是去要求文件的大小,因为同样像素总量的作品,文件大小也可能会有巨大差异的。在Lightroom中显示的部分Exif信息第七点的要求说,如果获了奖,那么我们需要获奖者提供他的带有Exif信息的未压缩原始图片,来证明这是您拍的照片。这里面信息量可大了去了,我们可以学到好多东西。首先什么叫Exif信息呢?就是数码相机在拍照片的时候,照片里面不仅会记录着图像的内容,而且还会记录一些其它的文本信息。比如说这是什么相机拍的呀?什么镜头拍的呀?它的机身序列号是哪个呀?它是几年几月几号几点几分拍摄的呀?甚至是它会记录您的经纬度的坐标信息,如果您的相机带有GPS功能的话。那我们平时在分享照片的时候,一般都会先把Exif信息给去掉再上传照片,为什么呢?就是怕泄露隐私嘛,万一根据这个经纬度找到你家门口来,不是很吓人的一件事情嘛。就算没有坐标,但是如果看到您用了相机的什么序列号啊,镜头的序列号啊,到时候来冒充您的身份是不是也是一挺麻烦的事情啊。所以一般我们会去掉Exif信息,留一个干净的图片,然后再上传到网上去分享。但是作为比赛来说,如果你已经获了奖,你就得证明这照片是我拍的呀,这个时候提供Exif信息,就可以做一个很大程度上的证明,因为可能别人照片您获取不了这些信息,因为他也不愿意分享给你嘛。另外这里面对应的什么相机序列号,镜头序列号以及经纬度坐标等等信息,它肯定是能证明身份的,你可以证明这个相机是我买的,是吧?我的机身还在手里呢,它有序列号的,这就是基本上可以证明这照片是你自己拍的了。所以这个小段落里面,我们至少可以学到两点特别重要的事:第一个就是以后分享照片先去掉这个信息,再来分享,保护你自己的隐私。另外就是原始图片千万别删,因为那里面含有Exif信息,它是证明您的这个照片的版权的。Photo by Vincentas Liskauskas on Unsplash你看多有意思,在一个比赛的征稿要求中,我们都能学到这么多的知识点。还不包括您如果参加比赛,我们会有一场专门的直播讲座来点评大家的作品,您的照片很有可能就会被我点评,我们又可以学到更多的摄影知识了。再加上咱们这一次的比赛奖品真是非常非常的丰厚,除了有艺卓提供的专业且昂贵的显示器,还有富士胶片、Datacolor、七工匠和雅昌影像提供的奖品。奖品诱人,比赛又是免费的,获奖难度还不高,还不赶紧来试试。在今天的微信公众号“摄影早自习”的第三条图文链接戳进去,就可以看到比赛详情,奖品详情以及戳第三条图文链接的“阅读原文”就可以开始投稿。别忘了在明天(周四)的晚上八点钟,我有一个免费的直播讲座,讲的是“教您拍出夏日感满满的人像照片”,喜欢的同学不要错过。语音下方有一个很清爽的海报,扫描那个二维码就可以进入我们的微信群来预约参加直播。今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第1955天,我是叶梓,每天早上6:30,微信公众号“摄影早自习”,不见不散。

HT1138 - The Clock in Your Camera I've discovered an important reason to be sure the clock in your camera is accurate to the time. A Lightroom plug-in I've been using for a few months now allows me to filter my images by the hour of the day they were shot. But it only works if the clock in your camera is accurately stamping the EXIF data with the correct time. Anyfilter can be found at https://johnrellis.com/lightroom/anyfilter.htm
Introduction I'm writing a script to process image files sent in by HPR hosts with their shows. One of the things the script does is to strip Exif metadata from such images. That's because this metadata may contain details that could identify the creator of the image - their camera, their location, and other things. Many people will be alert to this, but in case anything slips through it seems a courtesy to anonymise images sent to HPR. As I was implementing this I realised that one piece of Exif data: 'Orientation', can't just be removed. Sometimes images are created with a particular orientation by the camera but are written with an Exif orientation setting that shows another orientation. If this is just removed the image might be shown wrongly. This short episode describes the journey I had learning about this issue and finding how to get round it. The Problem A show was sent in early March 2022 which had three images with orientation values in the Exif metadata. They had apparently been taken with one orientation but were being rotated for viewing. I later discovered that the orientation setting can be viewed with the exiftool command: $ exiftool -orientation testimage.jpg Orientation : Rotate 90 CW You can find information about the Orientation tag on the ExifTool web site. The actual image in this case is rotated 90° anti-clockwise (the top of the image is to the left) and this needs to be reversed. The setting 'Rotate 90 CW' causes it to be displayed after rotating 90° in the clockwise direction. The actual value for this setting is 6. The problem is that removing all the Exif data causes such an image to revert to its raw state as explained below. Investigation Demonstration It took me a little while to understand this problem because I couldn't find a good explanation of what was going on. I found a repository on GitHub which would take a picture and generate all of the possible Exif orientations from it. I used it to generate pictures from one (a thumbnail) I used in an old HPR show. Here's the original picture with an orientation setting of 6 (Rotate 90 CW), and then with the Exif metadata removed. Original image with orientation 6 Same image with Exif stripped Methods used to fix this I found and installed some tools: jpegexiforient - reads or writes the Exif Orientation Tag exifautotran - transforms Exif files so that Orientation becomes 1 jpegtran - lossless transformation of JPEG files Note that these only operate on JPEG images. The exifautotran tool is a shell script that uses jpegexiforient to find the orientation and jpegtran to undo whatever rotation (or other transformation) has been defined. Reading the exifautotran script helped me understand all of this, but I did not use these tools in the end. In the script I had written to manage images I also needed to do other image operations: interrogate the image to find its size to determine whether a thumbnail was needed make a thumbnail if necessary To do this I had started to use the GraphicsMagick package. This package actually caters for the orientation transformation I wanted to perform and can handle many image types, not just JPEG. The technique is to use the command 'gm convert' with two options: -strip - remove all profiles and text attributes from the image -auto-orient - orient (rotate) the image so it is upright; adjusts the image orientation so that it is suitable for viewing Example: gm convert -strip -auto-orient sideways_pic.jpg normal_pic.jpg Running this on the images in question removed the Exif orientation after having rotated the pixels of the image to the 'Horizontal (normal)' state. Conclusion I have modified my picture management script to use this technique, and so far it seems to do the job perfectly. It has to be admitted that images with Exif orientation metadata are rare though. The GraphicsMagick documentation indicates that the transformations needed to generate an upright image could cause problems with some images, so we will be alert to any issues. For the moment, it looks as if the problem is largely solved. Personally, I gained several things from this journey of discovery: I ended up understanding images a bit better. Using exiftool to examine these images helped me to understand the power of this tool1. I also discovered that if opened the example image with Gimp it spotted the orientation issue and asked if I wanted it to perform the transformation discussed above. I installed a KDE image tool called ShowFoto and it also reported the fact that the image existed in two forms, in the same way, and allowed Exif editing.

With Gareth Myles and Ted SalmonJoin us on Mewe RSS Link: https://techaddicts.libsyn.com/rss iTunes | Google Podcasts | Stitcher | Tunein | Spotify Amazon | Pocket Casts | Castbox | PodHubUK Feedback and Contributions: Ian Barton on Google Photos Bug Nobody is able to download Google Photos Without Losing location data from the EXIF. I was going to use rclone to make a backup copy of all my photos uploaded to Google (a topic we touched on in the last show). However, it seems if you try to do this, Google strips all the location information from the photos' EXIF data. This is a bug that was reported to Google more than three years ago. (I'll maybe try Google Takeout and see if it does the same.) John Husband on Linux and Chromebook update Yesterday I decided to turn Linux on my LENOVO IdeaPad Duet and have a play. I am not a Linux expert but have a basic understanding of how Linux works. Using the terminal I have installed Libre Office and Gimp and both packages loaded with no issues. Libre Office Writer runs well but I have not fully tested Gimp. Once you have downloaded the software it places them in a Linux app folder on the desktop where you can easily access them. I then discovered the following video that shows you how to add two Linux App Stores onto your Chromebook (Very easy video to follow) and allows downloading of software without using the Linux terminal. Although the guy who did the video does mention not all software downloaded from Linux App Stores will run on Chromebook as it is still in beta.

Social PR Secrets: public relations podcast for entrepreneurs by Lisa Buyer
If you’ve been listening to Social PR Secrets for a while, chances are you’re pretty familiar with SEO. But do you know what offsite SEO is? Do you understand how to optimize your press releases for better SEO results? Are you aware of the best platforms to help you with your SEO efforts? If not, this episode is for you! In this episode of the Social PR Secrets Podcast, host Lisa Buyer dives into the world of SEO with Brett Lane. Brett is an SEO consultant who has managed over 1,000 projects and ranked tens of thousands of keywords on Google. His work focuses on both onsite and offsite SEO (more on that later) and he has almost two decades of experience in the field. There’s no one better to learn the ins and outs of SEO from! Onsite vs Offsite SEO Onsite SEO is what most people think of when they hear search engine optimization. It’s all about making sure your own website is both friendly to Google and your users. It involves writing good data descriptions, having relevant content that will please both the algorithm and your audience. To master onsite SEO, you need to know (or hire someone who knows) all the odds and ends of communicating effectively with Google. That being said, being a PR professional will also help you in optimizing your SEO strategy because your site needs to be user-friendly, otherwise the lack of interaction with your content will kill all your Google-related SEO efforts. On the other hand, offsite SEO focuses on getting as many outside websites as possible to link to your website. It’s the hard part of SEO because you need a small army of people reaching out to content creators and getting them to link to your website. But be careful here! These efforts should not activate Google’s triggers and make the algorithm believe you are spamming. The links need to come from the right websites, with the right content and they shouldn’t be replicated on too many outside platforms. Everything needs to look and feel organic. Do’s and Don’ts of Press Releases for SEO You might not realize it, but your press releases are a great tool to use as part of your SEO strategy. Unfortunately, they could also be your worst enemy. Here are the do’s and don’t of press releases when it comes to SEO. ❌ DON’T include too many links to your site in your press release. Especially not with the same tags. Google will think it’s spam. ✅ DO include a link to your website (the full link) at the end of your press release. It’s good to have a link but you don’t want Google to think you are spamming by having too many links. ❌ DON’T forget to add images and videos to your press release. And make sure you add metadata information. ✅ DO add your business information including phone number, address, email address along with the link to your website at the end of your press release. This shows Google you’re legit. Other Strategies for Better SEO Brett shared so much knowledge with us. Here are a few techniques to get better SEO: Think about EXIF data, that is the metad
本周六(4月17日),跟着叶梓拍长城!早安,我是叶梓,今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第1603天,今天是周五,我们本该来聊点轻松的话题,讲“生活美学”,但是正好是有个事儿想跟大家做个分享,也跟生活有关系,是我们在发表自己照片的时候要注意隐私不要外泄。为了让大家印象深刻一点,咱们借一个新闻事件来讲。4月4号的时候美国的马斯廷号驱逐舰拍了一张照片,两名指挥官,一个是叫罗伯特·布里克斯中校,另一位是查理德·斯莱中校,他俩一个是马斯廷号的舰长,一个是副舰长。舰长大人看似非常散漫的翘着脚,看向我国的辽宁号航母。那这张照片是发表在美国海军的官网上,彻彻底底的火了一把,现在又撤下来了,在官网上撤下来了,但是它在美国海军的官方图片库里面还有,还可以搜得到,我就把它载下来仔细看了一眼,结果就发现一个问题。一般来说军事的照片肯定是不能由普通的摄影师随便上去拍摄的。我之前拍过一些有关火箭发射的照片,那还不是军事用途,但都是严禁随便在外面发表的,它有非常严格的规定。更别说你要上到一个驱逐舰上去拍这种画面,肯定是由在役的士兵来拍摄的,拍了以后部队里会有非常严格的规定,就是你必须要确保已删除EXIF的信息,不能外泄。什么叫EXIF?其实它就是一种国际标准的照片信息的规范啊,它的全称是Exchangeable Image File Format,讲白了就是在数码照片的文件里记录拍摄数据的照片信息。这么多重要的信息,如果是有关军事的并且你没有删除就把它发表出来,这个是有泄密风险的。所以我们会看到大部分的军事照片,即便在官网上发布的也都是经过处理的,把EXIF数据给抹去了,删除了再发的,但这张照片疏忽了。(美国海军官网的另一张照片的EXIF被抹去了,是完全空白的,)我们从这张照片的EXIF数据里能够看到很多东西。比如说这张照片的拍摄时间是2021年4月4日,地点在菲律宾海。注意,这段文字是“描述”,是人为打上去的文字,并不是由相机自动生成的,所以它并不是直接有GPS的具体坐标的那种信息,是地理位置一个大致范畴。摄影师用的相机是什么呢?是佳能的5D4。熟悉吧?单反相机,并且他用的是16mm焦距的超广角镜头。超广角什么好处呢?超广角能把近处的人拍得更大更雄伟,远处的拍得更小,他把我们辽宁号拍得小小的,但其实是一艘巨舰,对吧?他们的驱逐舰反而是比较小的。而且它这还有个好处,就是在有了超级明显的近大远小以后,近处的两个人可以占有很大的面积,他们可以把海上其他的船只给遮挡掉。我们都知道辽宁舰是一个航母战斗群在那里行进,肯定不是像现在画面中这样是一个大船在远眺一个小船的感觉,但是现在这么一拍,就可以很巧妙的用近处的被放大的人物去挡掉海面上的有可能的其他的船只,这样就会凸显一个好像“我很藐视你”的这么一种感觉,实际上可能根本不是这种情况,真正孤立的并不是辽宁舰,而正是他们的马斯廷号。所以从这一点上来说,摄影师使用16mm的超光角肯定是有刻意为之的。接着看EXIF数据,它里边还有一个就是光圈,用的是f/22的小光圈,快门速度用的是1/100s。我们来仔细看一下这张照片,远处的辽宁号其实基本上是清楚的,近处的人物基本上也是清楚的,这就是小光圈的效果,用了超广角又用了这么小的小光圈,显然它会具有很大的景深范围,从远到近都会是清楚的。最后我们可以在描述的最后一行见到这张照片的拍摄者是叫做Arthur Rosen,这个人的具体身份我看网上已经有人在讨论了。说了这么多,如果你也想去下载这张照片,下来以后要怎么去看这个照片的EXIF数据呢?Windows和MAC的操作不一样。Windows我记得好像是在图片上点右键,然后点击“属性”,点击“查看高级”(或者是叫做“详细信息”),具体的我已经不记得了,好久没用Windows了,所以知道的小伙伴可以提醒一下,在下方留言告诉我;在苹果系统下我们就直接点击“Command”和“I”键,你就可以看到这个照片的EXIF信息。在专业的软件里面,比如说Lightroom里面,点中这张照片,在图库界面下右侧往下拉其实就能见到;Photoshop会稍微麻烦一点,需要打开这张照片,点击“文件”菜单、点击“文件简介”,可以看到EXIF。反过来讲我们自己的照片发出去的时候想保护一下自己隐私,不想让别人看到EXIF信息的话怎么办?使用Photoshop的时候你可以用快捷键,Windows是”Control+Alt+shift+s”,“存为Web所用格式”(也就是“存为网络所用格式”),这个时候存出来照片是不会有EXIF信息的。如果用Lightroom的话,“导出”这张照片的时候,可以选择把“原数据”的选项里下拉选为“仅包含版权和联系信息”,或者是“仅包含版权”就可以了,其他的相机信息就把它去掉了。你也可以下载相应的系统下的一些小型的软件,专门去除EXIF信息的,用它们来批量的对照片进行去EXIF信息的处理。好,通过今天的早自习,我们至少知道了一个道理,就是照片里边是藏着EXIF信息的,对你的拍摄的具体参数有一些记录。如果你不想让人知道的话,害怕它因此暴露你的隐私的话,你应该把它去除再发布。有的同学可能觉得我没什么隐私可言,那我跟你讲个真实的故事,我有一位朋友她发了一张照片,是朝着自己阳台方向拍摄的窗户和窗外的景,我当时就跟她说你这张最好删掉,她就很疑惑,不太相信我说的这个照片暴露了她的隐私,暴露她的住址。接下来我就花了半个小时的时间找到了她所在的小区、她所在的单元,甚至是大概住在第三层。我把这些信息告诉了她,并且在地图上截图了她家的精确的位置,她是吓了一跳,从此以后就非常注意照片里所含有的隐私信息了。这个事百分百就是真事,所以大家一定要注意保护自己的隐私。好吧,最后留一个小小的思考题,今天发的这张照片网上有争论,说这个照片是不是摆拍的?这两个人是不是真的那么轻松?你可以说说你的看法,从照片里你还能看到一些什么样的信息。那么今天就聊这么多,别忘了五一期间我们将在重庆举办摄影工作坊,想了解的同学可以在微信公众号“摄影早自习”回复“重庆”两个字,或者是点击今天的这条帖子的海报或者“阅读原文”来了解详情,工作坊是面向全国招生,现在仅剩一个名额。这周六也就是明天我将带领大家在长城来做摄影的练习,是线下实践课,感兴趣的同学也可以点击“长城”相关的海报进去了解。今天是摄影早自习陪伴家的1603天,我是叶梓,每天早上6:30,微信公众号“摄影早自习”,不见不散。
本周六(4月17日),跟着叶梓拍长城!早安,我是叶梓,今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第1603天,今天是周五,我们本该来聊点轻松的话题,讲“生活美学”,但是正好是有个事儿想跟大家做个分享,也跟生活有关系,是我们在发表自己照片的时候要注意隐私不要外泄。为了让大家印象深刻一点,咱们借一个新闻事件来讲。4月4号的时候美国的马斯廷号驱逐舰拍了一张照片,两名指挥官,一个是叫罗伯特·布里克斯中校,另一位是查理德·斯莱中校,他俩一个是马斯廷号的舰长,一个是副舰长。舰长大人看似非常散漫的翘着脚,看向我国的辽宁号航母。那这张照片是发表在美国海军的官网上,彻彻底底的火了一把,现在又撤下来了,在官网上撤下来了,但是它在美国海军的官方图片库里面还有,还可以搜得到,我就把它载下来仔细看了一眼,结果就发现一个问题。一般来说军事的照片肯定是不能由普通的摄影师随便上去拍摄的。我之前拍过一些有关火箭发射的照片,那还不是军事用途,但都是严禁随便在外面发表的,它有非常严格的规定。更别说你要上到一个驱逐舰上去拍这种画面,肯定是由在役的士兵来拍摄的,拍了以后部队里会有非常严格的规定,就是你必须要确保已删除EXIF的信息,不能外泄。什么叫EXIF?其实它就是一种国际标准的照片信息的规范啊,它的全称是Exchangeable Image File Format,讲白了就是在数码照片的文件里记录拍摄数据的照片信息。这么多重要的信息,如果是有关军事的并且你没有删除就把它发表出来,这个是有泄密风险的。所以我们会看到大部分的军事照片,即便在官网上发布的也都是经过处理的,把EXIF数据给抹去了,删除了再发的,但这张照片疏忽了。(美国海军官网的另一张照片的EXIF被抹去了,是完全空白的,)我们从这张照片的EXIF数据里能够看到很多东西。比如说这张照片的拍摄时间是2021年4月4日,地点在菲律宾海。注意,这段文字是“描述”,是人为打上去的文字,并不是由相机自动生成的,所以它并不是直接有GPS的具体坐标的那种信息,是地理位置一个大致范畴。摄影师用的相机是什么呢?是佳能的5D4。熟悉吧?单反相机,并且他用的是16mm焦距的超广角镜头。超广角什么好处呢?超广角能把近处的人拍得更大更雄伟,远处的拍得更小,他把我们辽宁号拍得小小的,但其实是一艘巨舰,对吧?他们的驱逐舰反而是比较小的。而且它这还有个好处,就是在有了超级明显的近大远小以后,近处的两个人可以占有很大的面积,他们可以把海上其他的船只给遮挡掉。我们都知道辽宁舰是一个航母战斗群在那里行进,肯定不是像现在画面中这样是一个大船在远眺一个小船的感觉,但是现在这么一拍,就可以很巧妙的用近处的被放大的人物去挡掉海面上的有可能的其他的船只,这样就会凸显一个好像“我很藐视你”的这么一种感觉,实际上可能根本不是这种情况,真正孤立的并不是辽宁舰,而正是他们的马斯廷号。所以从这一点上来说,摄影师使用16mm的超光角肯定是有刻意为之的。接着看EXIF数据,它里边还有一个就是光圈,用的是f/22的小光圈,快门速度用的是1/100s。我们来仔细看一下这张照片,远处的辽宁号其实基本上是清楚的,近处的人物基本上也是清楚的,这就是小光圈的效果,用了超广角又用了这么小的小光圈,显然它会具有很大的景深范围,从远到近都会是清楚的。最后我们可以在描述的最后一行见到这张照片的拍摄者是叫做Arthur Rosen,这个人的具体身份我看网上已经有人在讨论了。说了这么多,如果你也想去下载这张照片,下来以后要怎么去看这个照片的EXIF数据呢?Windows和MAC的操作不一样。Windows我记得好像是在图片上点右键,然后点击“属性”,点击“查看高级”(或者是叫做“详细信息”),具体的我已经不记得了,好久没用Windows了,所以知道的小伙伴可以提醒一下,在下方留言告诉我;在苹果系统下我们就直接点击“Command”和“I”键,你就可以看到这个照片的EXIF信息。在专业的软件里面,比如说Lightroom里面,点中这张照片,在图库界面下右侧往下拉其实就能见到;Photoshop会稍微麻烦一点,需要打开这张照片,点击“文件”菜单、点击“文件简介”,可以看到EXIF。反过来讲我们自己的照片发出去的时候想保护一下自己隐私,不想让别人看到EXIF信息的话怎么办?使用Photoshop的时候你可以用快捷键,Windows是”Control+Alt+shift+s”,“存为Web所用格式”(也就是“存为网络所用格式”),这个时候存出来照片是不会有EXIF信息的。如果用Lightroom的话,“导出”这张照片的时候,可以选择把“原数据”的选项里下拉选为“仅包含版权和联系信息”,或者是“仅包含版权”就可以了,其他的相机信息就把它去掉了。你也可以下载相应的系统下的一些小型的软件,专门去除EXIF信息的,用它们来批量的对照片进行去EXIF信息的处理。好,通过今天的早自习,我们至少知道了一个道理,就是照片里边是藏着EXIF信息的,对你的拍摄的具体参数有一些记录。如果你不想让人知道的话,害怕它因此暴露你的隐私的话,你应该把它去除再发布。有的同学可能觉得我没什么隐私可言,那我跟你讲个真实的故事,我有一位朋友她发了一张照片,是朝着自己阳台方向拍摄的窗户和窗外的景,我当时就跟她说你这张最好删掉,她就很疑惑,不太相信我说的这个照片暴露了她的隐私,暴露她的住址。接下来我就花了半个小时的时间找到了她所在的小区、她所在的单元,甚至是大概住在第三层。我把这些信息告诉了她,并且在地图上截图了她家的精确的位置,她是吓了一跳,从此以后就非常注意照片里所含有的隐私信息了。这个事百分百就是真事,所以大家一定要注意保护自己的隐私。好吧,最后留一个小小的思考题,今天发的这张照片网上有争论,说这个照片是不是摆拍的?这两个人是不是真的那么轻松?你可以说说你的看法,从照片里你还能看到一些什么样的信息。那么今天就聊这么多,别忘了五一期间我们将在重庆举办摄影工作坊,想了解的同学可以在微信公众号“摄影早自习”回复“重庆”两个字,或者是点击今天的这条帖子的海报或者“阅读原文”来了解详情,工作坊是面向全国招生,现在仅剩一个名额。这周六也就是明天我将带领大家在长城来做摄影的练习,是线下实践课,感兴趣的同学也可以点击“长城”相关的海报进去了解。今天是摄影早自习陪伴家的1603天,我是叶梓,每天早上6:30,微信公众号“摄影早自习”,不见不散。
As the year comes to a close, it is a natural point to reflect on our photography. It's an important step to see where you've grown as an artist and find opportunities to stretch creatively. Now, 2020 has not been a normal year - and that is a big understatement. Nevertheless, there is value in reviewing your collection of photos from the past year. Take stock of what you did, and reflect on what worked and what didn't work. Only when we measure our photography can we improve our photography.I examined my 2020 work this past week. Listen to the podcast to hear about the things I discovered. Some were expected, others were surprising. I use a healthy amount of metadata when I review my past work. Most of it comes for free via the EXIF data captured by our camera. I also rely on ratings that I've added throughout the year. Have a listen to The Metadata Time Machine f/10 for thoughts about why I think it's important (hint: you can do examinations like this!).I looked at my work in four different ways:By The Numbers: Have a look at how many photos entered your library in 2020, and how that compares to 2019. If you have a rating system, also measure your “keeper” rate, the percentage of photos in your library you consider your better work. Also, check the consistency of your photography throughout the year. Did you use your camera in bursts? Or did you consistently make photographs each month (which suggests continued, steady practice)?Camera Settings & Gear: Look at the EXIF data for your photos and see if there are trends in how you use your cameras and lenses. Do you own multiple cameras, but largely use just one? Do you gravitate to certain focal lengths, shutter speeds, or apertures? Do you have a tried-and-true lens? The peaks in the data suggest what you're comfortable and skilled with, and the valleys represent an opportunity to expand creatively.Photo Content: Examine your keepers for the year. What trends are there in the content? Do you photograph the same types of subjects? Is there a particular composition style you use? Are there any themes with subject placement, time of day, or mood? Also, skim a grid of thumbnails and pay attention to the photos that jump off the page. What is it about the photo that catches your attention? Are there types of photos that are notably missing, such as panoramas, infrared, or close-ups? Consider both what is there and what isn't there - both may represent a creative opportunity for the new year.Post-Processing: Again, examine your keepers with an eye on the processing. Are there trends in the processing style, such as a hyper-realistic look or a subdued, natural feel? Were certain color palettes or color grading used? Is your work primarily in color or black & white? This level of examination takes a little time, and I feel it is time well spent. Dedicate an hour or two to reviewing your photos.

Appreciate you guys checking this one out. It's nice that the good part of the smoke is cleared up here in the western part of Oregon. I'm pretty happy about that. I think on the last podcast, and you probably might have heard me talking about the Oregon wildfires. And some of the consequences that have arisen from those starting up over the Labor Day weekend and are really stuck have really taken off over the Labor Day weekend. Really strange to kind of go through it and experience it. You know, I guess there have been other big fires like that in the past. I'm sure there's a lot of stuff in California that is still going on. And I don't think he's had the kind of rain relief that Oregon has been fortunate to get, at least in some northern parts of Oregon. So I think some of that is some good news for the Oregon side. I know that the fires are still going on. I know that they're not really all 100% contained. I think even you know, like the fire that was in Southern Oregon and the talent. The Phoenix area still exists. It's still burning. And it's I think there's another one is shady Cove that's still burning. I think really like there's a significant amount that's still on fire. But I also think it's a little more of a controlled and contained space now. I know that they contain it. And so it's probably good news for the most part. And Wow, did we get some good brainstorms over the last couple of days or so up here in Oregon? It's been pretty significant. I was on the freeway a lot yesterday. And on the way down, I think it rained a little, but it was pretty clear most of the way down like a partly cloudy first day of Fall. What do you know about that? Is Summer over? Yeah, first, but we got a little off, I think, last week to a good thunderstorm too. I don't know if you guys were able to check that one out. I was talking to a friend on the phone who was down in Southern Oregon. And they could see Sunday, or like a year thunder and, I guess, see some lightning bolts striking off in the distance down there in Southern Oregon too. And then I could see it up here in Northern Oregon. So I was kind of surprised. We had a lot of lightning and heard a lot of thunder rolling over the town here. And it was pretty easy. Then again, it was a lot. So I was like, I haven't heard one over town like that. Probably every ten years that I've kind of been in the area, or you know route about here and there. So I thought that was pretty cool. Getting to see some thunder, some cool lighting, and stuff. And it was nice that we were fortunate. I think that it was followed by a good bit of rain. So I'm really hoping that there weren't any new strikes that lit off new fires that ended up being significant. I think it was taken care of pretty well. But man, yeah, really dry still, even in this time of September. So I think we got rain last week during that thunderstorm. And then we got pretty heavy rain. This seems like yesterday, yesterday evening. It seems like it was pretty wet for a good part of the day. A lot of the time, we were driving, driving around on the freeway yesterday. It was like, wow, we are getting slammed with rain. And that kind of that middle section, Oregon there. So hopefully, that that landed up in the Cascades in some spots to put out or help with some of the fires that are coming down. And I know there's also some problems that come about with rain too, you know, a lot of wetness and stuff, some locations where things are just kind of unstable. I think it kind of adds another element of instability. But really, right now it's definitely needed to get something coated on the ground, given how dry it's been for the last couple of months here. So it was really cool that September's come around that there's been a little of rain and that we're kind of moving through the season a little. It's a nice relief to it's, I know the fires are still burning, but it's it really is a significant relief to have a good bit of that wildfire smoke pushed off the west coast here, these West Coast valleys or the west of the Cascades, I was really socked in for a few days as a prize back. So I'm glad to see it kind of cleared up again. It's kind of nice, and I couldn't really take any more smoke. It was so thick, you know, you couldn't see really across the street. I was there's like four days there. I don't think I left the house. I talked about that before. But man, it was just like, oh, man, wait too much. So really glad to have a change in the weather. And I think we're actually supposed to get another heatwave next week. So I hope that kind of goes mellow for us. I know there's they're talking about that as a concern in California where they haven't got the rain that I think we've got the relief that we've got from the rain. So I think that Yeah, they think they're bracing for another wave of heat to come through. I think that's probably going to affect us and our weather here in the Oregon area as well. Sometime in the first part of October. So I'm hopeful that it kind of stays mellow, but yeah, wow. It's going to be kind of nice to still more interesting curves and stuff to come in 2020 Well, you know So I'm hopeful that the fires and stuff in Oregon have kind of tamp down a little that we're not going to see a significant amount of fire damage, or, you know, new fire problems arise. And I think there's still people that are, I'm certain that there's so people in zones that are restricted from returning to their homes, you know, even if they weren't burned, but they were like maybe a burn area or near burn area, I think that they're still in like an area that was evacuated. And if they are, if it's a red zone, or maybe still the yellow zone, I'm not sure. But I think if it's, if it's in an evacuated area, you're now allowed to return to your house yet, so you're still just evacuated somewhere, which would be very strange. It'd be really strange to just be out, you know, somewhere away from your house. I feel awful for all those people and how kind of upside-down that must feel this month. And yeah, I don't I don't recall a time that it's affected somebody, somebody, like smaller communities like that all at one time. I mean, just like up and down the I five corridor, or up and down that, I guess the the western side of the Cascade Range, there was just problems throughout it. So it's wild. I've never heard anything like that before. But I've seen it's the first day of Fall, or it's, it's just been the first day of Fall a couple of days ago. So I think we've just passed our What is it the autumnal equinox, which is pretty cool. Autumnal equinox I think it was the 22nd this year, we had the Yeah, equal day, equal time of day and night, as we kind of move in toward the winter. And as we kind of move in toward the winter solstice, coming up late December, this year, but yeah, move past the equinox here in Fall now, or I guess from summer to fall. So now we're an autumn? And I think but is it like the quarter point, or like the halfway point between now and the solstice is I think, was it like maybe November 10. There's some time around this early November. I think it was also kind of part of why Halloween was placed at the date it was. There's some kind of screwy things that have happened with the calendar. In the past, you won't hear about that. Listen to the night sky podcast. Another one that I've worked on a bunch of the past. Or probably maybe some older episodes of this one's probably this feed to somewhere back there. That there was some changes in the calendar that happened back in the Middle Ages. But prior to that, the reason that Halloween was placed on the 31st or that that All Hallows Eve thing is because it was sort of like a spiritual holiday where it was half a halfway point between the equinox and the winter solstice. There's also, I think, a couple others that are sort of strangely placed in there. Like, I think it's like Groundhog's Day, is one like right around February 1 is a halfway point. I think that Mayday is another one. Maybe it was the llamas' day. I think it's still a holiday in parts of Europe. Or it's Yeah, I don't know, the calendar or something. But I think that's August 1. So I think August 1, October 31, February 2, and may 1, are all part of this. What I don't know, middle holiday section. But you know, for our work there was it was the middle point between the equinox and the solstice has placed between each of the seasons. But yeah, that was kind of interesting. Fascinating. So right now, yeah, we're at the equinox point of it. So it's kind of cool. I hadn't been able to do any astronomical observations or seeing any stars or planets or anything for a few days there. Certainly while the smoke was really heavy. So I mean, I think just a couple days ago is like the first time I've been able to see a star, and it was seemed like two weeks or something, right. So it was able to be was able to spot a couple of things out there, which were pretty cool. I think I talked a bit about Jupiter and Saturn that are out to the south of this night, kind of, I don't know the eight o'clock nine o'clock range, you know, just kind of right in the nighttime there. Well, actually, now that it's getting dark earlier, I think now that we're right after the after the equinox, we should be getting dark around like 715 seven o'clock or so it's kind of getting like pretty damn out there. But by eight o'clock, certainly you're able to see a pretty dark sky. And I think you're able to spot Venus and Jupiter really easily to the to the south while you're here in the north. Well, I guess probably just about everywhere. But yeah, up here in the Northern Hemisphere, you're able to look out to the south and spot the bright spots. I think the brightest spot right is Jupiter. And I think it's still up in what would be Sagittarius and then a bit to the left. Have the brighter Jupiter is Saturn, and that's still visible in that area. But then in the morning sky which is cool I've only really been able to spot it a couple of times is Venus is coming up now it's actually up pretty high in the sky, and it's really quite bright in the in the morning sky, it's its always really stunning in the morning and the evening to when it when it's near bright, or it's near. It's like brightest points like wow, you can really see that planet. Wow. So it's always really fun to see. But I think if you're up at like 3:34am Yeah, it's still dark for a few hours. So yeah, probably like for him. It should be up, and you should be able to see it for a few hours. But yeah, if you're up around, like, like 430 or five, you'll be able to see it kind of high in the sky, but maybe some of like the murkier cloud cover that you would have on the horizon or a smog layer or whatever it is on the horizon line. But yeah, I think it's up a bit higher, I think probably around 5am or so you're able to see a pie in the sky, I was able to see a pretty high couple times, even back in August, like a month ago or so I was able to check it out a bit. So it's been cool. Good to spot a couple of planets out there. I think if you wait, yeah, like, Wait till about midnight or so maybe it's a little earlier, now you're able to spot Mars coming up over the horizon line. So probably about 1am or so you'd be able to get a good view of the planet Mars over on the eastern horizon, as it's kind of rising up there in the east. It's cool. Yeah, it's really, really bright kind of copper, red, red, orange color. It's cool. That's mostly most of the plants that are that are popping up right now are mostly stuff that I've gotten to check out the last couple of days. But I just got up got up early a couple of days ago, it was able to spot Venus at the window and kind of keeping an eye on it as it's been moving around. But it's pretty cool. Yeah, get us down to a couple planets was pretty fun. So magenta, keep up with some astronomy stuff. And sky watching stuff is cool. Been a little less of it this summer, I guess, you know, just with everything else going on different boats and stuff. But I have been studying a lot of argue astronomy stuff, which is pretty cool. I want to try and kind of bring that into maybe a little of this podcast as a promo, but, but also kind of bring it into some other project stuff that I'm trying to do. So I'll try and get into that. At some point. I think I put up a podcast a little while ago about to Like comment neowise and some of the observations that I was doing around it. So yeah, so sort of more more talk like that over on the night sky podcast when I was talking about earlier. And a lot of kind of weird esoteric, talk about changes to the calendar and changes to astronomical observations or, you know, mythologies and stuff that we have about space and stars. So I was like, that sounds kind of fun. And you can get kind of, kind of deep with it. At least like the research side of it's really cool to, to kind of look at what different people are thinking, you know, because it's like 1000s of years of, you know, like Baileys people putting out their, their feelings about what they thought about these different things at different times. So it's kind of cool to get to see some of that. So, let's talk about something even more exciting. SEO. About that's a pretty exciting topic. If you're still listening to this. Thank you appreciate it. Who listens on pocket casts? Seems like one person listens on pocket cast. I give you stats, you know, and I'm able to see some stuff. There's a lot of players and stuff I can't see. So I'm not sure like, I can see like Spotify stats and stuff. But like this one on player FM, the downloads that every once in a while. You think like Oh, is that like a bot or something that just like checks the feed? Why is player FM even noticing that podcast, you know, but at least it shows up somewhere? Thanks a lot, tipping my hat to you for checking out the podcast on whatever you find it on. But yeah, speaking of how you find things on the internet, what's more exciting than talking about SEO I've been working on keep it short. I've been working on SEO on my website and trying to figure it out a little. But really like kind of once you figure out or at least the basic process what you're supposed to do like I'm trying to go through and fill in a bunch of the details that I had left kind of blank in the past sort of in a rush to populate content on the website. So for a long time, if you notice them, I'm sure all of you are frequent visitors to the great website. Billy Newman photo calm but a lot of it for a long time wasn't really maintained well and so a lot of the posts had been made through some cross-posting mechanism that I had created with if an is this, then that command that said if a new Facebook photo post is made, take that photo and send it out to Twitter and flicker and a Tumblr page and a 500 pX Photo page and your website and your WordPress page, right. So that's how a lot of the photos ended up showing up on the website was through this command that would grab the photo, and then sort of automatically, in an automated way populate a post a photo post with, you know, just whatever the text of the tweeter, the Facebook post was, and then make a blog post with that what was not included in that post was anything that would be search engine optimization information. So there's no alt tag, there's no title to the photo, or it was an automated title that was like a weird hash of numbers and tax and stuff that would have come from Facebook, I suppose. And you know, so it was just kind of like weird changes, that would have happened. And they were kind of stripped-down. So yeah, the alt tags weren't there, there was no description, there were no links in the post, or, or body text of the blog posts. So there's really nothing like for anything to index or populate. So what I've been trying to do is go back through all this post is probably around 1500 posts or so I think what it says on my site is that there's something like 1600 posts or something on it. So I've done about 800 of them. So far, it's really pretty rudimentary stuff that I've been changing, it's probably there's, there's, I'm sure there's, there's grades of it that you could do, and I could probably do a better job of filling out the information to be more accurate or more bespoke, or to fit into a certain SEO topic a little better. But as it goes through the most part, I've just been kind of trying to take the different pieces and then fill them out a little more. So that at least in some way, they are populated with something that's that's kind of cogent, and, and cohesive, you know, like that makes some sort of sense that I put together. So trying to do that, do some search engine optimization. So I've been adding a bunch of alt tags to buy photographs that are old blog posts and blocks of like links and different paragraph texts that are supposed to kind of explain some different things about it. A lot of that is sort of that sort of fuzzy stuff for all these old posts, I'm trying to go through and just add like some kind of kind of basic sort of standard attacks to pieces of like, you know, there's this about me, there's this about my gear, there's this about stuff that you can find out about different places or something. So I kind of like I just kind of put together there's like notes list. And then I've been going through and then try to run a couple little, little commands, or you know, have this little like process, do these three steps. And then you kind of like, make these couple changes to each post, and then you move on to the next one you get you check your SEO score. And then you kind of bump to the next one. So what I'm trying to do is fill out the the meta tags, the alt tags, the descriptions and titles with better SEO quality, I guess titles and descriptions, so that they're able to be populated into Google or other search engines more effectively. Like that's a terrible thing. Like when I like I search for my name, or I search for different maybe photos that I have. It's really kind of sparse that as the links from my website are the ones that are populating that, that list there. There's a few others that are that are probably not even really super high quality links that are in there. Like I think there's like just, I think, character that was that a different name, you're in the mind. That one seems to show up. There's a couple from another photographer named Billy Newman, there's another one from a jazz guitar player who has an album on Spotify, who's named Billy Newman. And so there's a couple of couple funny ones that seemed about there's a guy who was on the grassy knoll, that guy was in billing, he was weird things when you find it, you know, Google your name, or you look at the Google image search of your name or your business or something you're like, who's that? What do they do? Weird? So I've been doing that a little and trying to kind of back search and figure out like, what links populate? You know, what's weird, too, as I look at it, you know, I've like put links everywhere, right? I was saying, I've been kind of working on this website thing for a long time. You know, to some degree, like I was saying, I didn't really fill out the information properly. So I'm sure Google never probably even really indexed it at all. But when I look around, and I look at the photos that are listed in the first couple pages of the search result for either My name or, or something kind of related to me, the things that come up are like it's a photo from Twitter, or it's like my Facebook profile picture that has like my name in it or something. And that's like the highest quality as like the highest quality Billy Newman picture that exists out there something or like you're even if I find like a photograph of mine that I put up somewhere, it'll say, it's from my Tumblr page. I think, what I never even I don't think I've been to my Tumblr page, like I was saying before, like, you know, I just set up a thing, and then it's going to automatically post to this blog role. And no one goes to that Tumblr page. Like it's always been spam. I don't think I've ever got like a real person comment or like, you know, I don't think I've ever got any interaction there? So, but it's really about what you get when you do like a search or something like out with Tumblr, or how this Flickr page is where this is from our Twitter, like, yeah, there's a few of them that, you know, just pop out from somewhere weird. Well, where's this from? Or like my ancient WordPress site? That one shows up sometimes before my new site, right? Like when I was in college, and I had like a free wordpress.com site. Billy Newman.wordpress.com is still out there. And yeah, you can pull it up. But I think it was just like the same as thinking about I was like, man, wow, hey, still on the internet, that's cool. I was thinking about kind of making a couple of those other are a few more like wordpress.com sites are kind of useful for some things. And given the you don't have to really work on maintaining them, it's kind of a nice way to have just some kind of easy, static thing. And if you need to you can you can set up a referral link or what not a referral link, a redirect some kind of like redirect from a URL that you have to make it a little cleaner or something if you're working on a project or something. Yeah, yeah, we're going through search engine stuff, trying to find your name trying to find your pictures. And it is working that like as a noticing, like, as I filled out some more tag information, the title information in the right way. And I kind of try and include, like some sort of mention of my name in there in the description or something or like, you know, photograph by, so that, I know, that's kind of a trick that I've heard from some photographers in the past that were working on some images and publishing them as one of the things that they said is like one of the most important things you can do to be found, or at least to be followed up with, if a photograph of yours is found is to include some kind of like, like authorship information in the description, or metadata of the photograph that you render out. And I think that there's a way that you can do that automatically, by applying the EXIF data, or like, you know, some metadata in your library module in Lightroom. I think there's, there's other tools you can use to edit your metadata, as well, I think you look at it stuff like the the title or the tags that the photo has. And then in that, also, I think that you can, you can like put your copyright information in your name. And I have seen photographs like that before, where Yeah, like, you download like a wallpaper image or something. But then if you check out the EXIF data on the side, it's really quite populated with a lot of information, a lot of different pieces, including their name and different tags about what the photo is about. So when it is put together in a better way, I guess, you know, it makes it easier, or just much simpler to find out like oh, well, like I like this photograph, who's this photograph by, and then it says right there within it, you don't really have to go search anywhere else, or at least you're, you're immediately kind of in contact with the contact with the information for that for that person. So that is cool and can be a good thing. And I hadn't really done it before. So I'm trying to go through and do that with all these past photographs to figure those out. And then, at the same time, I'm trying to do a bunch of edits, on a bunch of photographs that I have really put, I don't really put up a bunch of new stuff in the last couple of years. Um, so I'm trying to go through a bunch of that stuff. And some older stuff, too. That's kind of cool. And I'm trying to kind of tune it up a bit in the editing and get the kind of print-ready is sort of infinity for some stuff. But also, some of it's just fine, I'm trying to populate and edit up some old, old photographs, or I'm trying to kind of get into some black and white stuff a bit more too, which is cool. But go through some of these images and trying to prep up a bunch of them. I'm also trying to write out sort of a format for setting up these, you know, like I'm saying like, some more information about whatever I'm trying to write about in a post that sort of associated with these photographs that I'm editing. So I've been trying to set that up so that I can schedule them and have the kind of ready to do on the website. Which is super exciting. I mean, I was just like, well, I got to write, I got like sit here and like write out the answers to like these, like sets of questions that are kind of like made for myself that like kind of put together like okay, well I'm going to train this photo, like, Where was it taken? You know, what was it doing? What was it about was the experience like, what kind of gear to the user, you know what kind of whatever kind of little questions you'd have about like, what, what happened to make this photo or something? Yeah, I'm kind of trying to figure that out. Look at which are these interesting? And then how do I go through and like, answer that question and then make that into like, the paragraphs that make up the post about this photograph, it kind of gets tiring sometimes because you sort of seem like you're repeating especially you have to do it in bulk. But just to like, write about your description of a photo and the source. Or at least for myself, like I kind of feel like I get lost a bit in trying to better describe what was happening. You know, like, what, what, what I need to say, I mean, I said like, I know I use a camera, I held it up I took a picture. It looked good when I looked at it, and I edited it a little. There's a lot more to it than that. But man, you can really seem sanctimonious when you start writing paragraphs about the you know, like just whatever mystery you think it is to I've taken a picture that looked okay. So I kind of want to avoid, avoid some of that if I can, and I like so Some of the creative writing that I see, but sometimes I see photographers, and their writing is difficult. So I think I've even added to the pool of that problem in the past, but even still download my e-book working with them. That's good stuff. So yeah, what I'm noticing is that sometimes photographers are cool to read. But sometimes they're not as cool to read. Because it just seems like what we got, like, we know you took the picture, like, like, next page, okay, and like, Oh, yeah, he took the picture. Okay, right. Next page. What did you write about that? So, it seems like that a little with, with some, some photo books that I've seen in the past or some photo blogs that I've seen, which is probably what I'm going to continue to do. I will share in the tradition. I made a link tree page. Have you seen this before? I think I've seen some YouTubers have it. So I'm hoping it means it's hip. But I think there's a link tree website, I think it's, I think like Instagrammers or something, would you use it too, I think it was something that became popular. So you could put it as your one bio link in your Instagram profile. And what it was, was a click, or a quick link out to just a super simple sort of landing page that had like a stack of like links, it was just like, you know, just a page. Why am I over explained is it was it was a stack of links, and a website called link tree, and you'd have a profile there. And you'd make this your bio link and Instagram. And then when you click that link, you would get a stack of, say, a dozen other links to all your other places that you'd want people to go. So you get two expansion, just that one link too many links, I think was sort of the need it was designed to help out with, but it is kind of useful, maybe I don't know, we'll see if like, I don't have any traffic going through those places to probably really use that in any way other than just direct through a link. But the link tree services are kind of cool, I'm going through and trying to put that in some spots, so that you can click there and then go to different links. So you can like kind of like direct link over to an Ebook page if you want to check that out. And then the next one down could be your Instagram page, or your Facebook page or your website or your blog and website for your about page, or your new project that you're trying to list or whatever it is. I was going to see it in. Yeah, and some more more managed accounts were managed social media accounts and stuff. So I thought I'd try it out. And at least in the simple way, kind of set up a super easy profile, and then just stack up a few of the links that I have. So I think it's a link tree. Slash Billy Newman probably was it's kind of a weird, the weird like URL. It's like, I don't know, like the die. It's like link, link t. r e or something like that, you know, it's kind of like, what's going on? I probably got that wrong. But it's like, it's kind of a tricky URL, but I'm sure if you Google it or something, but link tree slash Billy Newman, I think she'd pull my stuff up. It was whatever, I don't know. Probably find it on my website, too. It's really like what my website is, is just like a stack of links that go out to the other, the other services and stuff that I'm proud to populate. And kind of fun. But yeah, this week has been a lot of computer work, a lot of writing stuff, a lot of cutting pears and apples up, kind of harvest season two, like I was saying hates the Fall. So when we're before like we process most of the apples that have come down in the summer, and then now there's a pears that we got a hold of, and so we're trying to go through those and process them up and then freeze them for the winter. Good times. So it's pretty fun skaffa I'm having a good time. putting it together. Make some pies and chips this winter and Fall. You good time.
