A sigmoid railroad running along the bends of the river like a slow worm. I love nature-human interactions in landscape photography. Nice.

Going for 1000 posts 
Next evening at moonrise, went out armed with a bit better capture strategy, ISO 1600, series of bracket exposures on the highlight-weighted matrix solution down to -3EV. In rawproc, took the -3EV capture and did my two-curve thing, first loggamma to lift the whole thing then a rather wonky control point curve to shape the dark landscape and the moon separately. Resized to my usual PlayRaw dimensions, still a little noise in the sky, so I added a wavelet denoise before between the downsize and the post-resize sharpen:

More Land Rovers…sorry! Kind of repeating a repeating theme… 
This is all from the Land Rover 75th Anniversary Cooma show - held right through Easter this year.

That’s a really nice low-light shot, @Leniwiec! I like the way the candles illuminate the faces of the subjects, particularly the main one. Great job!

So, we did burn some stuff, last thursday… (easter fire in my little village). Had a little trouble to tame the flames in postprocessing.

The day after Easter in Italy is called “Pasquetta” which means ‘little Easter’. If at Easter you followed the tradition of inviting a flood of family members to lunch and indulging in hearty food, at Easter Monday you are supposed to be frugal: you have to leave the house and have a hard-boiled egg lunch in the countryside. The problem is that you have to take the car and stand in line for hours, so we stayed in the city.
A good occasion to test my pocket camera.

Another from the walk. Maybe I should have left it wider to show the surroundings. However, I wanted to keep the drinks visible, as I think they are important for the mood.

Oof these colors are lovely and the image really speaks to me for some reason! Something about that shadowed foreground and the gorgeous sunlight on the buildings…
I may have to drag my camera out again soon.

Hello again
Good set.
Pop that statue doing handstands in the critique thread… I’ll be gentle, promise 
Particularly like the first shot? Curious to know where it is taken…

A couple from this morning after an early breakfast at church. I just “happened” to have my camera with me (funny how that happens… sometimes LOL) so I drove out to one of my few semi-photographic locations.
It was a gentle April morning here in Louisiana, just barely (and very comfortably) cool for a while. Much of the US is barely feeling spring-like but down here in the Deep South we’re getting there, finally. Leaves are brilliant green now, but that’ll darken and mute as summer kicks in all too soon, I’m sure.
The sky was happenin’ just as I got there. Unfortunately the sun went behind a big patch of high clouds for a while, muting things quite a bit. But I still like the feel of this.
Dunno if I’m as sure about this one. Kinda busy, although it looked nice in person. It may well be one of those “nice scene, but not much of a photo” things.
