Shoot 2022-10-15-142947

We had a new yard bird visit the feeder and birdbath the other day, a Band-tailed Pigeon. I've previously seen these but only at quite a distance. It was quite a nice looking bird. These photos were taken through a window.

The above hashes-<date>.txt file contains SHA-256 hashes of all the photos from this shoot. The hashes-<date>.txt.sig is a signature of that hashes file, created with my PGP key. The signature file itself was written to both the Bitcoin Cash and Algorand blockchains, in the OP RETURN and Note fields respectively, using the transactions below. In short, this proves that these photos and the signature both existed at the time the transactions were written to the Bitcoin Cash and Algorand blockchains. This blog post has more details.

Here I composited the bird's head, which was sharp in one photo, onto another photo where the rest of the bird was sharp. The two photos were nearly identical other than where they were sharp, so it was quick and easy to make this composite image.
