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

Edited the title

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

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

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 :)

 

The color of the water is just incredible. I added some Vignette and increased the structure of the image to bring out the little eddies made by the oars. Additionally I darkened the boat as it was overexposed. No further editing, no playing with colors or saturation. Still - pretty sure the dji drone already does some post processing before I get to see the image...

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!

 

Added some lens blur to create a better focus, desaturated a bit and added more contrast

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.

 

This image is edited to a slight degree. Cut, framed, and and I touched up the sky a bit, because I was too late to capture the perfect moment and it was already growing darker again

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...

The limestone above is not high enough to really filter out whatever the farmer on top throws on their field, so it's contaminated with pestizides and not recommended for drinking. It smells like fresh water.

Excerpt:

The lawyer based her request on Article 245 (action incompatible with their duties) and Article 247 (serious misconduct) of the Treaty on the functioning of the European Union (TFEU).

The case concerned the disclosure of calls and text messages exchanged between von der Leyen and Pfizer’s CEO Albert Bourla through which both parties negotiated vaccine contracts during the COVID-19 crisis.

Following a criminal complaint filed by Frédéric Baldan, a Belgian lobbyist focusing on China-EU trade relations, the Belgian authorities initiated the case in early 2023. Subsequently, the governments of Hungary and Poland joined the lawsuit.

Von der Leyen kept “stubbornly refusing to disclose contracts for the purchase of COVID vaccines [...and] the electronic messages she exchanged with Mr Bourla, CEO of Pfizer", according to the letter which said her actions offended "public morality" and "shatter the legitimate confidence that citizens should be able to have in all members of the European Commission".
