Update
Any random update, like a rant or some kind of news.
I have a new site! I explain it more in the post, but I really hit a wall with the old one. Hope this one works better! Now I must rest, I have a flight early in the morning, but do take a look! www.joaopedroalmeida.com/en/posts/…
Há várias coisas que gosto na Livraria Palavra de Viajante, a começar pela Ana e a Dulce, mas esta é uma das minhas preferidas: a mesinha à entrada com os livros em destaque, quase sempre com tema a juntá-los, sempre bem escolhidos! www.instagram.com/p/DJUGSGA…www.instagram.com/p/DJUGSGA…
It’s great that Nikon is open to vintage inspired cameras, but what would be even better would be lenses, and I’m not even talking about vintage look. A new take on AF-D lenses for Z mount! petapixel.com/2025/04/2…petapixel.com/2025/04/2…
One of my questions for my new photo website is whether having comments or not. A static website (how I chose to build it) will always require an external solution, I don’t think a paid service makes sense and free solutions (like Disqus) are a privacy nightmare. Probably I’ll go without it.
I have a little page where I post the stuff that caught my eye (https://tirelesseye.tumblr.com/), a simple little curation of what inspires me. This used to be almost exclusively Instagram, but a funny trend has been happening: there are more and more items from Flickr.
There are some news related with my presets for Darktable (or styles, I never know what to call those…). TLDR: it’s a new site and I moved things around in Github, but please take a look nevertheless, and share your feedback you want to!
Sometimes you cover up not so bright days, filled with things that aren’t making you that happy, by procrastinating with other things that out you in good mood. In this case was booking flights for another trip. It’s not a proper way to handle your issues, but sometimes it’s alright.
I really care little about celebrations, international days and all those things, including #WorldPhotographyDay, I’m that old guy that complains nowadays there’s a day for everything. But photography has taken me to the most coolest places, and put the most awesome people in my path, and that’s definitely something worth celebrating.
Darktable, the open source photo developer I use (and built film emulation presets), has two releases per year. You can almost adjust your calendar on it, because it’s around each solstice. And because we just hit Summer solstice there’s a new release out there. darktable 4.8.0 released
More and more I hate flying! Not that I’m afraid of flying, actually the time in the airplane is the eye of the storm of this thing called “air travel after the pandemic” (not that before was great), which starts the time you try to book the flights. Yes, prices are sky high; yes, now every kind of luggage is paid separately; yes, the price of that is also sky high… But every time you trick to book something you seem to find a new trick up their sleeve, the most recent for me is some companies somehow finding a way to charge more for cabin luggage than checked luggage. Yup, you read it right, more expensive to bring the luggage with you in the cabin…
