Welcome to the Game Boy Camera gallery! I had originally planned to include these photos on the writeup page, but the writeup grew far beyond its original scope and I thought it would be more fun to write a goofy stylesheet and make something bespoke. A list of albums with anchor links is below.
(Suggestion for Future Feebs: it would be really cool if you figured out how to wrangle Javascript and HTML canvasses to allow photos' color palettes to change dynamically. You could probably condense everything into one file and shrink it for good measure as if everything here wouldn't load in ten seconds on dialup.)
Lewis and Clark Bridge
These photos were taken from the deck of the Lewis and Clark Bridge right above the river's shore. They're not particularly sharp for a variety of reasons, but I wanted to see if the camera could resolve anything recognizable at this distance, and sure enough it could! I believe I was using an older version of the adapter printed using spray-painted colorless PLA, which allows much more light to leak in than black PLA.

Big Four Bridge
These photos were taken about halfway up the spiral ramp that goes from Waterfront Park to the deck of the Big Four Bridge. This put me a little closer to 400 West Market than the deck would have, but streetlights lining the interstate are visible in some shots. I might go back and take more pictures from the bridge's deck. I completely failed to consider the consequences of setting up my tripod on a ramp, so I'm not satisfied with these pictures for a recurring reason you can probably spot.

The dome of 400 West Market taken at a distance of 1.16 miles. I had originally intended to take this picture at full zoom, but my napkin math was off and the dome was much larger than expected. Tokina SD 70–210 @ < 210 mm. -

A really cool car. It's a Subaru. Its owner is probably a really cool girl and gay or something. The front license plate is illegible but it's probably really clever. Stock lens.

Misc
Pictures that didn't fit elsewhere.
-
Gibbous moon. The maria have a surprising amount of detail. Tokina SD 70–210 @ 210 mm. -
An attempt at using a shorter focal length lens. This was taken handheld after the bayonet connector had worn down, so I needed three or four hands to operate everything without dropping the lens in the grass. It's not a good picture, but it is encouragement to fix the adapter so I can shoot handheld. Nikon Series E, either 28 mm or 50 mm but I forgot which. -
