what a beautiful shot!

thanks for clarifying, will remember to make a better description next time :)

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 :)

I like your composition, the dramatic clouds, the path, the clear subject in the middle, the outlook on where the hike goes, great photo!

They’re all in the contacts anyways, with autocompletion once you start typing their mailaddress

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

Feel free to make it one

Edited the title

Wasn’t sure whether you’d get tired of the joke, so I left out the ‘in Slovenia’.

I tried that but found that it is still too unpopulated. The instances I found just had posts by the same five people. But I agree, the software is great, it just lacks an audience :)

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.

Oh wow, didn’t expect that :)

Thanks!

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.

Didn’t do any editing, came out of the camera like that. But dji already does quite heavy editing. The problem is that the raw format in which they save the file is AFAIK only fully implemented by Photoshop, so working with jpegs it is…

SCMP… ain’t that a state run propaganda agency?

• Hey boss, we have sincere troubles, SNR is off by too much.
• how much?
• 20dB
• ah, then we’re good, that’s so ridiculous it’s def. a gain problem in your measurement setup

Random trivia: Showing the swastika is a crime in Germany. The Neonazis tried to use that to shut down a shop selling stickers the swastika being thrown in a trashcan. They lost fabulously

Was done with an air rifle, making it a little bit better, but it still very much surprised me due to the very same reasons…
