Moon over Golden Gate Bridge

Curious… what’s your take on this one (with darktable)?

Nice one!

Tried to add a bit more pinkish color cast. Warmed the ‘color calibration’. Reddened the bridge. Bit of sharpening and local contrast. Removed a bird - poor creature… And of course ‘lens correction’, ‘denoise (profiled)’, a slight crop to accentuate the panoramic feeling. Nearly always use ‘color balance rgb’. And finished with a frame.

My interpretation. The moon is waning, so I’m assuming the image was shot a little after sunset (maybe 45 minutes after), so I’m thinking it was starting to get dark.

Juan Navarro I am from this area and I think you captured the mood of the area perfectly. Keep it as. :+1:

I decided for a quite dark version to maintain the mood:

Dark and contrast with the highlights from the bridge and the moon. A small halo for the moon (using the RGB Balance mask and Bloom module) and the surrounding clouds.

Made another version,

As I’m still quite new to darktable I feel I need to experiment more just to get to know what is possible. This one I kind of liked.

As I started to experiment with darktable things turn funny sometimes. I will only show one result as for not to hijack this Play Raw. I do believe, after getting to know darktable more and understanding better how its modules are designed, more meaningful extreme results can be had than this …

Hope you like it for what it is - an experiment not yet very serious.

Kind regards, Jetze

I’m sorry…this really got away from me after I cropped it. Wasn’t even sure what I was going for, which is unfortunate because this is a great scene.
