I went a bit overboard with finding #whimsical “adventures” for the Flickr #panda during their planned downtime to disentangle from Yahoo’s datacenter. I think I’ll go with the #coffee mug shot once uploads are working again.

The Adventures of the Flickr Panda
#Flickr is partly back after a day of planned downtime to move out of Yahoo’s datacenter.
For the downtime, they encouraged people to print out the #panda from the maintenance page and take photos of it off having adventures.
I went a bit overboard and put together 12 pictures of the panda exploring plants, hiding behind a crosswalk button, slipping near a caution sign, etc. I plan on posting this shot once uploads are working. The rest are on my blog at hyperborea.org/journal/2019/05/flickr-panda
These are a few shots from the grounds of a hotel in Hawaii that isn’t there anymore.

The open-air lounge jutted out over #tidePools made of #lavaRock. A bridge labeled Kapu (forbidden) led to the next resort over, which had already been torn down.
It was on the Kona (west) side of the Big Island, and was demolished last year to make way for an educational/cultural center. Since there are several heiau ruins on the property, that’s probably a better use of it.
Two days later:
Realized in all the editing I dropped the *name* of the place. It was the Keauhou Beach Resort. I stayed there for a week in 2005, and took these pictures on an afternoon (or morning) when we weren’t going anywhere else.
Flashback: A tropical stream in Hawaii
Photo taken at: Akaka Falls State Park
Flashback: A #tropical #stream in #Hawaii, somewhere along the trail to the 420-ft Akaka Falls on the Big Island. I’ve been digging out the originals of photos I posted in low resolution back in the day. This seemed like a good one for #EarthDay.
Correction: 440 feet. Not that they’re in this photo anyway.
Realized I forgot to post here about WonderCon last week.
I was mostly support for the kid’s #Minecraft costume, but I did get a chance to check out art, buy from small vendors & photograph #cosplay with the new camera.
The kid only took 1 photo, but it made be rethink my technique.

Here’s the family as Professor Trelawney and a spider jockey. She ran into a LOT of other #HarryPotter cosplayers:

Just a few Flashes (and a Rainbow Raider) who I saw at WonderCon this year
Just a few Flashes (and a Rainbow Raider) who I saw at WonderCon this year. There were a bunch more, including a TV Barry/Iris couple, a Jedi Flash, and more.
These are just the ones who slowed down long enough for me to take a photo! 🙂 Check out my full cosplay gallery on Flickr:

Took the new camera to WonderCon for cosplay photography
Took the new camera to #WonderCon for #cosplay #photography.
1. I finally have a camera that can really handle inside lighting at a convention center!
2. I’ve gotten too used to just capturing costumes, instead of composing interesting shots.
2a. My 8YO took 1 photo all weekend (#InsideOut) & it ended up being the best that day. I took the lesson & improved my shots the next day, including the other 3 here.

There was a lot of Harry Potter cosplay at WonderCon…
There was a lot of #HarryPotter #cosplay at #WonderCon this past weekend! Here are some of my photos. There are a lot more that I missed – people dressed as the Malfoys, students of course, other professors and so on.

Professor Umbridge is unimpressed. Professor Trelawney is uncertain how to react. Professor Lockhart *is* impressed…with himself

By mid-afternoon, the patches on Mt. Wilson (barely visible at the left) had faded, though the ridge behind it still has a ton of snow visible.
TODO: Which version of this is on Flickr?
