<p>So here’s a fun milestone nobody wants to hit: my hearing’s genuinely gone downhill. I’ve suspected it for years (you know that thing where you keep asking people to repeat themselves and they start giving you <em>that look</em>?), but it all got properly real earlier this year when tinnitus decided to move in permanently. A trip to the audiologist confirmed what I already knew. High-pitched sounds have basically ghosted me. Turns out I’m now officially a candidate for hearing aids, which feels like one of those adulting moments nobody warns you about.</p>
<p>My Samsung phone has an “adapt sound” feature that allows you to train it on your hearing, and the graph it created for me a couple of years ago looked very like the one the audiologist created.</p>
<p>Anyway, enough about my failing biology. How’s <em>your</em> hearing holding up? I stumbled across this completely unscientific but of course compelling YouTube video that tests what frequencies you can still detect, and let me tell you it was humbling. I couldn’t hear anything past about 6400Hz. It could be my headphones, I suppose, but I know it’s not. Not really.</p>
<p>Look, I’m not here to lecture you, but seriously: <strong>wear ear plugs</strong>. Protect your ears. Future you will thank present you for not being stubborn about it. Learn from my mistakes and all that.</p>

<p>If you remember the double-slit experiment from school, this video is a super accessible refresher and a reminder of just how weird light really is. It behaves like both a wave <em>and</em> a particle.</p>
<p>But it gets even stranger. When scientists tried to record which path the photons took (slit 1 or slit 2), the wave pattern disappeared. Even more baffling, this happened <strong>even when they recorded the path after the photon had already hit the screen</strong>.</p>
<p>Stick around until the end of the video to see the quantum eraser in action. So very weird.</p>
<p>Oh, and of course the related videos has a video by Sabine debunking the quantum eraser idea.</p>

<p>Ha, what a rabbit hole. What she says makes total sense. I’m going to watch her <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhIf3Q_m0FQ">bomb video</a> next.</p>
<p>I asked ChatGPT to explain what’s going on. It went way over my head. Further study is required.</p>

<p>Sean Tucker gives some great advice to landscape photographers, likening landscape photography to fishing in street photography. Fishing is the act of finding an interesting place on the street and waiting for someone to walk through. I’m more of a hunter. I keep walking, looking for an interesting subject or situation, rarely stopping. You’ll see many examples of that in my <a href="https://inphotos.org/tag/edinburgh/">Edinburgh photos</a>.</p>
<p>“It’s a great place for landscape photographers to start. They’re used to fishing, to framing a composition first and waiting for the weather or light to come to them.”</p>

<p>I’m always wondering if I should post photography stuff <a href="https://odd.blog/tag/photography/">on this blog here</a>, or should I write my <a href="https://inphotos.org/tag/words/">words about photography</a> on my photoblog? What say you, gentle reader? Should I care at all? It’s a personal blog after all.</p>

<p>Anyway, here is how I geotag my photos.</p>
<p>For photos I’ve already taken, I use Google Timeline and export it from my Google account using <a href="https://takeout.google.com/">Google Takeout</a>. You’ll get a rather large “Recent.json” file out of that. To convert that file into the GPX format usable by Lightroom Classic, use <a href="https://github.com/Scarygami/location-history-json-converter">this Python script</a> which I’ve already covered in <a href="https://odd.blog/2024/05/24/howto-geotag-photos-in-lightroom-with-google-timeline-data/">this post</a>.</p>
<p>When I go out with my camera now I use the Anrdoid app, <a href="https://opentracksapp.com/">OpenTracks</a>. It’s a free app you can <a href="https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.dennisguse.opentracks/">grab from f-droid</a>, but there’s also a <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.dennisguse.opentracks.playstore">paid version on the Google Play Store</a> if you want to support the developer. You can also use <a href="https://gpslogger.app/">GPSLogger</a>, a free app that has the advantage of being able to save your .gpx files to Dropbox or Google Drive.</p>
<p>On iOS, the <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mytracks-the-gps-logger/id358697908">myTracks app</a> appears to do a similar job but I can’t test it. Please comment if you have tried it or know of decent alternatives.</p>

<p>To geotag your photos in Lightroom Classic, the <a href="https://helpx.adobe.com/ie/lightroom-classic/help/maps-module.html">Adobe documentation on the subject</a> is excellent. Once you’ve opened the Map Module and done it once it’s easy to do again. When you geotag your photos, the Map Module will look like this.</p>

<p>There is also <a href="https://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/gps">Jeffrey’s “Geoencoding Support” Plugin for Lightroom</a> that I’ve used for years but maybe it’s because of changes to LrC in recent years, it’s gotten really slow for me. I usually use the built in LrC functionality in the Maps module now.</p>

<p>I helped the kind folk at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TransEquality">TENI</a> set up a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1164412252389587">small art exhibit</a> in Cork City Hall yesterday. This week is <a href="https://corkpride.com/">Cork LGBT+ Pride Festival</a> and this is one part of that celebration.</p>
<p>Transfusion features art made by young trans people, including a pencil drawing by the late Jordan Howe. She was a 19 year-old transgender woman from Belfast who took her own life because of transphobic bullying in 2014.</p>

<p>Sure enough, it did, including many photos of people from Blarney Photography Club, and of course people in Automattic. There were also a couple of people who have since passed away which was sad to see, but still a nice memory to have. They’re not tagged nearly well enough to identify the people. I sometimes wonder what will happen to this collection when I’m no longer around to pay for backups, and make sure the external drive they’re on is working.</p>
<p>Anyway, here are a few I liked.</p>

<p>A tan occurs when UV radiation damages skin cells, causing them to produce more melanin as a protective response. This process involves DNA damage to skin cells, which can accumulate over time and potentially lead to skin cancer.</p>
<p>Sunburn is obviously harmful and painful. Even one blistering sunburn in childhood can double your lifetime risk of melanoma.</p>

<p>It’s a bit late for my Irish readers, as we had cloudless skies and a hot sun last week. Temperatures reached 25C where I was, so I slapped on the factor 50 sunscreen and made sure I was wearing a hat when I was outside. Many years ago, a neighbour died of skin cancer at the age of 52, only a few years older than I am now. </p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.met.ie/uv-index">Met Éireann UV Index page</a> will show you what the UV index in Ireland is. If it’s 3 or over, you should be covering up with clothing or sunscreen. It’s quite alarming that the difference between a clear sky and a cloudy sky is 1-2 or 8-10 on that index.</p>
