(sorry, don't have more of a recipe on this one...)
Wanted some fresh bread but won't spend enough time at home for a full loaf. So just made a bread from a half-pound of flour
Sounds pretty cyberpunk that adblockers could soon be a guerilla group sabotaging rocket launches instead of FOSS devs
This is the northern hemisphere, just a picture I took in the summer and found now while cleaning up my image folders
Found this image when cleaning up my SD card. It's a small local flooded gravel pit. The color of the water is natural and comes from the limestone gravel that the Alps rivers and glaciers left here over the millenia.
Yeah, if you like playing with compositions they are a great tool :)
I use a DJI mini 3, changed the rotors to new ones that have a bit more lift and make less noise, added a polarization filter and thereby all in all upgraded it for 30 bucks compared to out of the factory configuration.
My thoughts: I absolutely love it. You see my complaints about the weird raw file format that is hard to process properly but apart from that it's so very nice. It is small mobile, the controls work excellent and the only regret I have is not spending the extra money to get the pro version that would have had the nice follow modes for shooting video.
Mostly I use it for making outdoor videos when hiking, biking or paddling and it is bringing me lots of joy :) Have not found a good video service yet (tried the fediverse version but didn't perform well, don't like YouTube), otherwise there would be about as many nice outdoor video shots from me as there are photos ^^
Thank you :)
Hmm, I read a thread on darktable about it. The devs said the problem with that kind of Pixel-based correction is that it's running counter to all their data processing and they'd basically have to rewrite their raw processor from scratch. I totally get it that that's a lot to ask from an open source team, so no complaints there.
Already through most of the tips in this list,
The x-rite color checker is something I've ever heard of before though, I'll give it a shot, thanks!
just downloaded the software and gave it a try - same issue as most others. It doesn't ingest the pixel-wise correction matrix and therefore gives an image that is blighted and has a red-shift in the middle, while getting some vignette in the corners...
https://gigamove.rwth-aachen.de/en/download/4991c0c25442db3d7fcc81146772f42b here you are. Sorry for the delay, I caught conjunctivitis and had to limit my screen time as much as possible.
So this one got some more than just the usual 'adjust contrast, desaturate, increase vibrance' treatment. After seeing what someone made of my fog post with some local contrast etc, I thought I'd experiment a bit. So I first did some work on the overall picture, toning down highlights, increasing ambiance, desaturating and setting the white balance a bit further to the cold side.
But then I added some extra darkening to the shadows of the road to increase its local contrast and lit up the shadowy regions of the mountains. Somehow that makes the image work a lot better now imho.
Saw this wonderful fog the other day and tried to capture it. Turns out it's not as easy as I first thought. Am not quite happy when th the result yet. Any pointers to how to capture fog well are very welcome :)
Skiing Hut from above, using a DJI Mini 3. Cropped, contrast up a notch, ambiance up half a notch and framed. Erased some artifacts (snow is good for that)
took two images with different exposure, overlayed them in gimp and used a mask to bring the cloud reflections from the darker shot into the lighter image of the island, no further editing
Increased the structure of the water, darkened the highlights to reduce over exposure of the boats. The shot was a bit tricky, I wanted to go higher up but it's in the outer controlled airspace of an airport which restricts altitude to 50m AGL
Sorry, the tiny bread is already more than half gone... Also who would slice a bun vertically into 10 or so slices? This is no bun, it's just a tiny bread ๐
