I have been taking photos since the early 2000s and always struggled with where to post them. Since social media is dying, why not host my own photos?
Right now I mostly photograph birds with a Fujifilm X-T5 + FujifilmFujinon XF70-300mm F4-5.6 R LM OIS WR + FujifilmTeleconverter XF 1.4x TC WR. Occasionally I’ll post photos taken with my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I have a GoPro HERO5 Session that I use for video.

Notes to Self
I’m never going to remember all of this, so why not put it here.
- Optimize images for roughly 4K resolution
- 4096 x 2160 maximum pixel size
- Use the original aspect ratio of the camera
- 3:2 aspect ratio is standard for most SLRs
- Keep file sizes relatively small
- 2 MB if possible, 3 MB hard(ish) limit
- JPG quality 6-8 will usually achieve this
- Images must be set to be the feature image
- This ensures ActivityPub support
