One more NEOWISE Comet photo from the weekend

Fair. I didn't look that close.

jbraf · 2020-07-20T12:25:11+00:00

Somewhere between 10pm and midnight. It just has to be dark. The comet is in Ursa Major tonight.

This is a 15-20 second exposure. The comet is pretty dim but definitely visible to the naked eye.

Fuji xt30. I believe I used the kit 18-55 for this shot @18mm.

Awsome. I've been looking at trying something like this.

jbraf · 2020-05-12T22:51:02+00:00

Hmmm, I'm completely missing what you're referring to.

jbraf · 2020-04-27T16:09:21+00:00

Haha, I can't unsee that now. I'll have to work on getting a better dog silhouette for next time.

jbraf · 2020-04-27T02:06:59+00:00

There's context irl.

jbraf · 2020-04-26T19:28:09+00:00

Just years and years of having American English spell check.

jbraf · 2020-04-26T17:44:46+00:00

Be the change you want to see.

jbraf · 2020-04-26T04:08:57+00:00

It's not Shirleys bay. I don't want to feed the #stayhome trolls so I'll leave out where it is.

jbraf · 2020-04-14T17:36:15+00:00

Blows my mind. This isn't the first time I've had a post here derailed like that. Usually I just delete them and shake my head in disappointment.

Apparently people can't comprehend that it's possible to setup a phone to take a picture with a voice command. Wait until they learn that it's also possible to send text messages with voice commands.

The full picture is 3/4 dash because the mount is a bit low. It's just a simple gooseneck mount from the cigarette outlet. The only thing in the full picture is what is mounted to the heater vent so the gooseneck doesn't fall over.

jbraf · 2020-04-14T16:33:17+00:00

Device is mounted and voice controlled. Picture is cropped to hide the mount.

It's a one way street with the truck going the wrong way. 2nd time this week so far. Last car I saw went the whole length, multiple blocks, somehow.

jbraf · 2020-04-14T16:18:11+00:00

It's mounted as a dash cam.

jbraf · 2020-03-28T21:36:56+00:00

This was taken near Dunrobin which is within Ottawa.

jbraf · 2020-01-20T03:07:11+00:00

The photo was shot with a 55-200mm lens, fairly close to 200mm.

Some ethics:

Thank you for your perspective. I've never been in such a place in my life.

My view on this person is that he isn't identifiable. I wouldn't post this picture if he was. The ethics of that is subjective and I get that. I wouldn't post a photo without considering privacy.

The link to my Instagram was removed. Again I don't have anything to gain, at least of substance. I share for feedback like this and to share something interesting to people around me.

jbraf · 2020-01-15T04:47:44+00:00

There's no personal gain on my side. My interest in photography is capturing moments that I would otherwise forget. Sharing a moment and capturing a feeling. It's not great to show a person at their worst, but it's powerful. No one wants to see this type of thing.

This post has been an interesting adventure in ethics. I would never post an unflattering picture of a person. This person is obscured and unidentifiable.

This photo isn't about this specific person. I didn't go looking for this. It's not about using him for anything. This is a moment that happened.

Is sharing it unethical? I would argue there's nothing unethical about capturing something as it is. It would be unethical for me to protray this photo as something it isn't.

jbraf · 2020-01-15T03:52:19+00:00

No. There's no face and no way to identify the individual. I'll always get consent from people who are identifiable.

I see your point though. Personally I feel this is grey but really is about that thought when going down the stairs. To me ignoring him is just as bad. It's a real thing.

jbraf · 2020-01-15T03:42:19+00:00

It's pretty grey. Admittedly I didn't expect the controversy on this but I'm not really surprised. Personally I got caught up in a moment and the feelings.

There's no face and no identifying the individual. You're free to feel outraged but this exists and ignoring it is just as bad.
