  • Originally, I believed that I can’t build an HDR image from the mini-3 AEB-shots, as somehow HDR from JPEGs seems to not be a good idea, and apart from Photoshop there’s no software around that fully understands the DNG format of the more modern DJI drones. Then I found that I can just put them in gimp and manually build the HDR part. That meant that quite some shots I’ve taken last year could be rescued :)






  • Someone asked the other day ‘why so photoshopped’, when I basically did nothing to the image’. The commenter was downvoted heavily and I thought that’s not good. I liked the discussion tbh. So I thought more transparency would be good on what I do with the images. I only do this for fun, so don’t have anything to hide








  • TL/DR; c/pics and c/photography are the only places I share images.


    Wow - that’s quite the compliment for a dude who just likes to post holiday images. I don’t post my pictures anywhere else, as I don’t believe in letting Meta and others commercialize my photos or feed their AI monsters with it.

    I like it here, I like the federation, I like that nobody restricts my upload size or compresses my images and I really like the vibe of the whole place and that I can just pay a buck a month to cover my costs instead of lots of ads and data scraping. Some months ago I thought c/pics is great but it could do with more content. So instead of complaining I started posting my own humble tries here, following the motto mediocre content is better than no content.

    I’ll take your question as encouragement and keep posting.






  • Sensor noise on higher gains I’d guess. Normally I take images like this in manual and fiddle around with the settings until I get it right. In this case I had to be quick because the light was changing by the minute so I shot in auto. But I agree with you, I also liked the effect here that’s why I kept it.
