Got out the old beercan to photograph some birds outside the livingroom.
The window was not clean and the quality of the resulting photos isn’t great. I was happy with what I could extract using darktable though. It also taught me to stretch the dynamic range of low-contrast-photos using colour balance RGBs brilliance grading and not to rely on poor AgX to fix everything.
I am not a bird-photographer and editing those photos gave me a lot of joy. Blackbirds (their german nomer Amsel sounds much more elegant imho) singing gives me summer-evening vibes. Blue tits are my sons current favourite animal so seeing one try out our homemade feeding bell was great to see - he did not approve unfortunately. The birds enjoyed what was left of the crabapples though.
