Light and shadow - Yin and Yang. I try to present photos as true to the scene experienced. The intense sun and shadow in this canyon demanded something a little different. #photography @bluesky.photography

Thank you. We're back in action, improvements coming soon.

Feed Update: We've made some adjustments to the landscape feed which should help filter out some of the off-topic photos that slipped through recently. We've been a bit radio silent the last two weeks, but working hard behind the scenes & are excited to show you what we've been cooking up soon. 🧑‍🍳⏳

We've identified another photography imposter. lensbyannie .bsky .social 🧵1/2

New Photography Feed: We're still focused on our website launch (⏳), but when @starlitwaltz.bsky.social reached out & asked if we could craft a feed for infrared & ultraviolet photography, we couldn't say no. Full Spectrum Photos highlights work from selected IR & UV photographers on Bluesky.

Feed Issue: There are some ongoing performance issues (Bluesky is really taking off) that are still causing some posts that should hit feeds to get dropped; impacting more than just us. This is related to the earlier issue with ML image classification in landscapes, but separate (no hotfix avail.)

Feed Issue: We’ve identified an issue with some posts that should have made it onto the landscape feed getting filtered out. We’ve implemented a temporary fix until we can figure out what happened. If you made a post and didn’t see it make it, we apologize and it hopefully won’t reoccur.

Feed Update: The Fujifilm Shooters feed has been updated to identify photo posts that reference any name or model of a Fujifilm camera, even if not using hashtags. While this change is not retroactive, going forward the feed will feature a much larger % of Fujifilm photography on Bluesky. 🧵 1/4

Feed Update: The Sony Alpha Shooters feed should be more accurate going forward; it was picking up some non-photography posts containing terms like A1, A7, & A9. Next up we'll be working on improving the Nikon and Fujifilm feeds; directing our efforts based on the feeds getting the most use. 🧵 1/3

Feed Update: The Polaroid Shooters feed has been retooled into the Instant Photography feed and now covers a broader scope that includes InstaX and others.

Feed Update: We've made some adjustments to the curated Photography (Trending) feed algorithm. It now weighs comments and reposts more heavily, and cares a bit less about likes. The trending window has also been adjusted down from 24 hours to 12 hours to keep things fresh. 🍍

Hey everyone, if we're following you, it means you've landed on one of the curated lists that power our feeds. Right now, the two main feeds are Photography (New), and Photography (Trending). We'll have some more topical curated feeds (e.g. Landscapes, Portraits) in place shortly.

It's looking like the next release of the official Bluesky application will support landscape-oriented photos when you rotate your phone! See PR #7257 by the illustrious @samuel.bsky.team!
