Jesus, how many people do you kill for this festival?

We managed to keep the count to a minimum.

Great photo!

Any sort of editing or is the orange/red hue completely natural?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks! I made minimal adjustments, some contrast and value tweaks. So yes, the colors is very natural as far as the camera could tell.

Great shot! What time was this taken? I remember taking a similar (but not as good) shot in Helsinki around midnight, which was a very special thing to see, as an Australian who had never seen the sun past 9pm.

Thanks! I took the shot just over 10pm. It's in the south-ish part of Sweden. The key part of this for me was the flatter landscape compared to my Norwegian town, so the sun getting that low is a rare sight for me.
