I moved my photo blog to Bear
Hello.
I have arrived at using Bear for my photographic blog, via coming across the image lightbox script and some CSS as documented (importantly, with instruction!) by Flyfish here.
I used mgx's playground and his version of the base Birming theme, then added some different colours for a few of my own changes—boring (but classy?) shades of grey.
Clicking on a photo will now give you a 'lightbox' type view, which can be much bigger on desktop screens.
I am thankful to Flyfish for sharing how to do this, as it allows me to bring all my blogging under the one platform here on Bear.
I have tried the current hot and trending fediverse platform Pixelfed for sharing photography, but it doesn't work for me. I think it's that I'm just not social—or no longer young enough for it—plus the recent flood of ex-Instagram users have bought their 'use 36 hashtags so everyone sees my photo' with them, and I hate that.
I am very grateful to those that know their CSS and scripting stuff sharing their knowledge, so that an ignoramus like me could fumble and blunder my way into creating (OK... copying) and tweaking it to arrive at what I needed as well.
new start
I'm going to start from fresh, so it'll take a while to build up some posts here again. I live near the coast of north Cornwall, a very rural area miles from any hustle and bustle, so subject matter tends to be landscape, generally in Black and White. I do some abstracted ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) images using the landscape too.
My posts tend to be of one picture at a time, and I generally refrain from discussing the gear and technicals much.
My picture titling is simple too. Normally one word, then a number, which is the frame number from the camera.
This one is of the beach at Crackington Haven, Cornwall. I liked the patterns in the sand.
So it's called sandpatterns-4349.
