It's spring, and if we communicate with flowers

Hello,

Today, we have switched to summer time in Europe and since March 21st it’s spring, a time where we celebrate the renewal.
In this spirit, I’d like to start a new post where we can exchange spring pictures with positive ideas for the improvement of Darktable.
Here is a picture of an almond blossom developed with DT 4,3.
The frame was made following an exchange on the French forum of DT, it is perhaps an idea to add a function to the “Frame” module

Greetings from Brussels.

Spring is starting to come into full effect and the swallows are back making their nests :slight_smile:

I still haven’t gotten a “good” swallow pic, but these ones are good enough to share.

Hello,

I really like your 3rd picture, :wink:
You remind me that I made a series with an old Tamron Adaptall-2 SP 200-500mm F/5.6 and a Pentax KR. Ok it’s not a very powerful material.
I redid the processing with DT4,3 and I am satisfied with the result vs the processing I did at the time. A very nice evolution.
Here are the photographs, they were taken in August, when the small ones left the nest.

Well I must commend the casting of that video. Really does capture the uplift of spring.

Spring is in full force here in Northern Virginia. We went to see the Cherry blossoms in Washington DC, along with 10,000 of our other friends. I might have some shots to share. In the meantime, here are a couple that I processed through darktable

In Finland we had a brief spring but then winter came back (i.e. “takatalvi” )

Not done in Darktable or even a photo but hopefully mad enough

We have issues with Spring and Winter getting confused even in more temperate parts of Europe

impressed by the wildlife photos; to be pedantic I think one of the Swallows might be a Housemartin
top photo though

I haven’t used Darktable for a while, liked the luminosity and parametric masks when I did

I’m guessing the improvements I would like to see is in the sphere where there has been helpful advice on this forum : the issues caused by manufacturers copyright on some information which would help colour balance and the like for different camera models, not that I haven’t seen evidence that some people get round that

I admire Ansel Adams landscapes I avoided the zone system in the analogue days: nothing wrong with it but the style of photography I am interested in majors on the spontaneity of the medium

one of the reasons I like open source is that I can escape a certain amount of consumerism and don’t get sidetracked by that

my sort of gardening is laissez faire , maximising help for pollinators and letting nature do its thing, that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the beautiful Japanese gravel gardens that seem to work from a different premise

I only had to take the tram :slight_smile: But I’m glad you like it. The wells were not decorated during the Covid pandemic. This year, quite a few of the previously decorated wells lack flowers: some due to reconstruction, but others for reasons unknown (to us).

Yaj, springtime!

Found a daisy. Both in my garden and on a failed SD card. So I found it twice, which makes it a little bit more special. :wink:
