Even I didn’t notice it until I read this and now my disappointment in my own work is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Thanks! Bebop’s one of my favorite shows, and I love the jazz aesthetic so that’s a huge compliment, I appreciate it!

Actually this was taken pretty late at the University Plaza Hotel in Springfield, MO. It looks a bit less liminal and backroomy during the day but with the lights lowered and no one around it looks really cool, this was around 11pm or so I think.

Not at the moment, or if I do the account is so old I don’t remember it lol

Huh, that’s odd but I think I may know where the discrepancy is coming from. When Charles originally took the photo in the '96 he licensed it out under the stockphoto company Westlight. Westlight was purchased by another photo company that was owned by Microsoft, Corbis in 1998. Technically Microsoft could have just licensed the photo as they now owned the company that owned the licensing, but chose to fully buy the rights directly from Charles so they could have unlimited use for it with all the branding for xp outside of just the default wallpaper.

I actually named it Bucolic as a nod to Windows XP! The original name of the Bliss wallpaper was “Bucolic Green Hills” before Microsoft bought it from the photographer.

The film isn’t quite that old but the camera is actually from 1981 lol

Oh no you’re totally fine! At the moment since I’m new to film photography I’m just starting off with some kodak gold 200 since it’s fairly cheap by film standards, I’ll likely just use that until I feel more comfortable shooting film then once I’m confident enough with the medium move up to some nicer fujifilm, maybe superia 400.

I think it may be the level of “film grain”, as well as a bit of glow around the buildings in the sky, both are a bit too high admittedly, I honestly just liked the look of the shot with the added grain and I’ve just started getting into photo editing so I’m still not too great at it. I probably should’ve put some sort of disclaimer in the description that it was edited rather than an actual film photo. I do have some old 35mm point and shoots and even an early 80s ricoh SLR I just got, but haven’t gotten to use them quite just yet, my first film roll is supposed to come in in a few days so I should hopefully have some actual scanned film photos coming in a couple months or so.

More exposed to a very very amateur Lightroom user lol

Ah sorry, no deception intended lol just still getting used to lightroom for the time being.

I picked up photography back in May which just started by getting an old point and shoot digicam to take convincing liminal space photos, then I got another… then another… then some film old cameras, a cheap DSLR a set of lens, etc. Etc. It’s become a full on addiction at this point lol

Actually it’s at the Denver Botanic Gardens.

I used to lurk like crazy on reddit. I had a nearly 12 year old account that mainly had a few comments here and there months apart, and only a few posts but ever since moving to Lemmy I’ve found myself actually posting relatively frequently to help build some of the smaller communities I’m in that have also migrated.

Inside Yellowstone National park, though I can’t quite remember if the river running through this valley is the Madison or Yellowstone river.

Yep, haven’t been bitten by a single mosquito on my patio in nearly 3 years because of these little dudes.

It is actually the Botanical Gardens! Near the bonsai trees. Loved the place.

Oh wow, had no clue Lemmy had that layout as a feature as well, that might actually get a couple converts out of my friend group.
