😩 Up since 5AM. Must. Sleep. More.

Today we’re finally driving around the island, in a few hours, and I need all the energy I can get.

👀 Two very distinct realities, a five minute walk apart.

People swimming in clear blue water near rocky shore, with a white sailboat anchored in the background. A couple stands on a rocky and arid landscape with some shrubs, under a clear blue sky. They are wearing casual clothing and hats and are looking towards the horizon. A multi-story building with balconies, each equipped with outdoor furniture, and towels draped over the railings. Two tall palm trees are in the foreground, casting shadows on the building’s facade. A serene marina at sunset with several moored boats and yachts. Palm trees and white buildings are visible in the background, under a sky transitioning from golden to dark.

📚 Let’s add another one to the pile.

A smartphone screen displays the cover of a book titled “Butter” by Asako Yuzuki. The cover features a yellow background, a cow illustration, and red paint smears. The title “Butter” is written vertically in English on the left.

@thedimpause Hahaha! I jumped as well, this afternoon. Took the phone back to the girls, and jumped. Swam to the beach. I might have seen them!

@thedimpause I saw a group at the beach today, with some older ones, getting into one of those paddle boats with the slides on them. Didn’t look long enough to see if they used the slide, or just went for a ride.

@thedimpause It is!! It’s the closest beach to where we’re staying as well! We were there for about an hour today, afternoon.

@thedimpause Thank you! I saw that! We’re waiting for some friends to start exploring the island (they’re the ones picking up the car), but their flight was cancelled today.

Hope you had a great time, seems like a brilliant place, from what we’ve seen so far.

@stupendousman The water is amazing, and so warm! Mediterranean Bahamas, that’s what we’re calling the island.

👀 Part of Day One. Busy finding beaches. They’re lovely. Also pool. And jumped from that cliff. It was good.

A young child is sitting in the sand at a beach, wearing a blue and white striped swimsuit bottom and a turquoise hair tie. The child is holding a blue toy cup and has a necklace on. There are sand toys, including a red crab mold. Two pairs of legs, with one pair larger than the other, lying on a green surface outdoors on a sunny day. The legs appear to be sunbathing, with a grassy background. A man standing on a rocky cliff overlooking a clear blue sea with people swimming and enjoying the water in the background. The scene includes a distant shoreline with palm trees and white buildings under a vibrant blue sky. The man is facing away.

Flight #11 for this four year old girl!

A child with long dark hair, wearing a dress with strawberry prints, is sitting on an airplane seat and looking out of the window. A seatbelt is fastened around their waist, and there is a water bottle and a napkin on the tray.

👖 First time I’m traveling, and no pants to be found on the backpack. We’re spending the week in shorts, in and out of the water, so why bother?

Also first time I’m taking a single watch! I must be getting crazy!

🪑 A pair of #beSeated photos.

A small, weathered, blue-painted shed with a closed door. An old chair with a cushion is placed against the wall beside the door. A wooden fence and a lemon tree are visible in the background under a clear blue sky. A small, weathered concrete building with a corrugated metal roof is shown. The structure has two doors; the left door is rusted and the right door is painted light blue with some rust spots. A broken wooden chair.

🇲🇽 Still testing the RNI app. Still want the LR presets.

@z428 Yeah. I’ve been trying Linux since I can remember, and can function with no worries on it, for almost everything. When it comes to editing, I still need Lightroom. Things have improved immensely, but the apps are not a good fit for me, I’m afraid.

And I (and my wife!) fondly remember a Pixel she had, the camera on that thing was pretty good. She liked it much better for photographing, and actually shot a ton more than she does now with her iPhone.

@z428 I’m at the stage where I actually need it for work (both shooting, and editing, with it), and it’s as close to perfection as it can get, in my opinion.

The fact that I can take care of all editing/sending, and shooting as well with quality fit for some assignments? I like this.

I don’t always agree with Apple, but the tool is good. Not sure I’d be able to find a suitable replacement elsewhere. One that would be as good, as comfortable, and mostly worry free.

@z428 Thanks. iPhone shot. It’s mostly the same, when the light is good and you’re not zoooooooming in. Mood added later 🤣

@crossingthethreshold I need one: Lightroom. That’s why I’d like to have the presets for that one, but almost $200 took care of making me forget about it.

😝 I really needed to be reminded about RNI Films, like I need another app to edit photos!

🏖️ It was a really fun assignment, perfect to end the season. I’ll be back to work in October, as I don’t consider the N2 music festival work. It’s more “get some photos while meeting the family”.

A beach scene featuring a wooden boardwalk flanked by sand. A woman and a child holding a bucket and shovel walk towards the camera, while a man takes a selfie in the background. The beach has canopied loungers near the water.

🌞 Skylight

The image features the silhouette of a building with a glass skylight on its roof against a clear blue sky. Two overhead wires extend diagonally across the sky.
