Mirror, mirror on the floor

Mirror, mirror on the floor - who's the fairest of them all? It's the black-necked stilt, of course - which I watched without remorse!

A long-legged shorebird with a blackish back, white belly and red legs is standing in shallow water. It is dipping its slightly open, long black bill into the water. The bird is mirrored by the very calm blue-gray water.

Santa Marta Sunset

This panorama shows the Caribbean coast, with Ciénaga on the left and Santa Marta on the right. It was taken from the El Dorado Nature Reserve, which offers a fantastic view of the area.

A panorama photo taken from high on a mountain looking towards the Caribbean sea. Most of the view is blocked by cloud lines above and below the photographer, beautifully illuminated by the orange setting sun. Part of the mountain is visible on the lower right. Near the coast are two areas with tiny white spots, where city illumination is visible through gaps in the clouds. The sky is a gradient from blue to reddish orange.

Heute das erste mal die Gesichtserkennung von digiKam (meinen Fotoverwaltungsprogram) ausprobiert.

Für die hunderte Sportfotos der Fußball-Frauen, die ich gelegentlich bei den Spielen schiesse, ist es recht praktisch. Zumal bei der Auswahl ja jede Spielerin dabei sein sollte. Macht sie Suche echt einfacher.

A bit of Green on Fence Post,
for / zum #SilentSunday #StillerSonntag

Taken /w 18 y.o. Sony Alpha 100 dslr. I don't need today's megapixels. 😀 Develpoped from #raw by using #digiKam on Linux. No further edits.

Ein OpenSource-Programm (digikam) stürzt reproduzierbar ab, wenn ich Funktion XY aufrufe. Es wäre schon toll, wenn Funktion XY funktionieren würde.

Es ist ein KDE-Programm, das ich auf einem Mac laufen lasse.
Frage mich, lohnt sich die Mühe* eines Bugreports?

* Account im Bugtracking-System anlegen
* Recherche ob Bug schon gemeldet ist
* XTools installieren für Stacktrace
* Stacktrace generieren
* Bugreport schreiben

Nach ein paar weiteren #Stunden rumprobieren habe ich jetzt auch meine #Festplatten eingebunden und kann aus #DigiKam auf meine #Fotos zugreifen. Mehr brauche ich nicht. #System läuft.
Wie klasse ist das?!

The face recognition on is excellent.

I've tagged a few people and it can reliably identify their faces.

I would count this identification as Pareidolia, but I do find it deliciously ironic!

Painting of Ada Lovelace and bust of Charles Babbage. Both have been detected as faces.

I'm trying out #Darktable as a #photography editing and organization application. Currently using #digikam, but its editing functionality felt a bit clunky, I like its organization functionality though.

Darktable is pretty advanced; it was hard to get started having just used regular image manipulation programs, but after watching some instruction videos, it clicked.

Bruce Williams channel has LOTS of videos, organized in playlists, like this for beginners:

I'm looking into pulling some of the photos off our phone to make some space; damn #Digikam is fancy

in typical KDE fashion it is PACKED with features and not afraid to show it!

Digikam file import window. It's got loads of settings.

@Parker51 I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they can still repair your camera (at a reasonably acceptable price). 👍👍

Well, I'll definitely order one or two rolls of black and white film every now and then, but I won't be able to afford something like daily shots anymore.

Yes, this wonderful slowness! I try to keep these when taking digital photographs. So I only use older cameras for this. My Minolta #DImage7 bridge camera, a Sony A300/350 or even Canon's 'Dinosaur' 300d every now and then.

On the one hand, these cameras are 'wonderfully slow' (the DImage7 takes between 30 and 40 seconds to save a 5MP RAW image), and on the other hand, I switched off image playback in all of them after taking photos.

This brings back much of the usual and beloved slowness. And the #CanonEos300d is very similar to the #Eos300v Analog SLR in many ways.

I then "develop" with #RawTherapee or the built-in importer from #digiKam. And I only make the corrections that I would have made with analog film.

So I'm already close to the old analogue feeling. :wink:

Mit RAW kannst Du halt in Grenzfällen (besonders: Belichtung) noch rausholen, was man bei JPG nicht mehr schafft.

Darktable ist ein sehr mächtiges und cooles Tool - aber man muss sich da schon einarbeiten. Ich hab mir damals einige Videos angesehen, das hat dann schon ganz gut geholfen.

Ich kombiniere Digikam (kann Bilder im normalen Filesystem-Ordnern verwalten, + Tags und gute Suche, "Aspect Ratio Crop" , Verkleinern u.ä.) mit Darktable (das ist deutlich besser zum RAW-Verarbeiten, Pickel / Falten verringern ...). Gimp verwende ich inzwischen (besonders zur Fotobearbeitung) nur noch ganz selten.

Fork-tailed flycatcher

During our time in Colombia, we visited the El Encanto Del Guanapalo, a large savanna nature reserve. When we drove in, these stunning flycatchers greeted us. They are named after their long tail feathers that look like a two-pronged fork in flight.

A vertical photo of a brown bird with gray back, black head, and white throat and belly. It has two very long tail feathers that are nearly twice the size of the bird itself. The bird is perching on a thin diagonal reed-like stick, facing to the right. The stick and the form an X in the image.

#Svanemølleværket - med meget filter 😄. Jeg er begyndt at dyrke #digiKam fra #KDE. Et #opensource foto-organiserings og -redigeringsværktøj som jeg gerne vil blive bedre til. Det kan faktisk rigtigt meget, og selvom det ikke er helt så intuitivt som nogle andre værktøjer, så sætter jeg pris på at det bl.a. er frit for AI-fnidder og har enormt mange tilpasningsmuligheder. Her er det så et billede af Svanemølleværket på Østerbro, der er blevet beskåret, rettet op, fået tilpasset farver og kontrast og til sidst kørt igennem et filter eller to.
Kraftværket Svanemølleværket i en noget patineret sort/hvid udgave. Der er et jernbanelegeme i forgrunden (nederst).

Du findest, dass Digikam aussieht, wie eine moderne Fotoverwaltung, die man Leuten empfehlen sollte, die seit über 10 Jahren glücklich mit Picasa sind?


Kann es sein, dass di #digiKam ohne weitere KDE/ Plasma-Bibliotheken installiert hast, also das nackte, unangepasste, hässliche QT siehst?

DigiKam and Shotwell are two popular photo management applications on Linux.

DigiKam is an powerful, feature-rich KDE application that offers advance features like RAW photo support and editing, metadata editing and tools for sharing photos online.

Shotwell is a user-friendly photo manager designed for the GNOME desktop environment that allows users to organize photos by events and keywords, view them in different modes, and sharing them online.

Showfoto is the fast image editor ingluded with DigiKam. You can use it to view your photographs and improve them. Showfoto is the standalone image editor from the digiKam project that provides a set of powerful tools to edit your photos.

Right photo management is a thing. I use #digikam , #darktable and #gimp are sufficient for me. However, I do not photography as you do.

digiKam can handle raw files, and the application uses the excellent LibRaw library for decoding raw files. The library is actively maintained and regularly updated to include support for the latest camera models. digiKam can also manage video files for cataloging purpose, and the application uses the FFmpeg backends to extract metadata and play media.
