Forest #icm

A clearing in the forest canopy using intentional camera movement reinforces the framing of the sky

Leaf at my feet

As the morning sun rises in the forest, bands of sunlight are projected on the ground. I spent the morning looking for things in these bands.

A bright orange leaf on the forest floor picked out by a band of almost horizontal light

Thanks for this! I will try it out.

What irks the most is losing all the work from using Lr for 2 years. The Adobe sidecar files with all my adjustments cannot be read by other software.

Thanks for sharing, Stephen. Very interesting take! She says what I feel.

Her No 1 paid suggestion I have on a 30-day trial: ON1 Photo Raw 2025. It costs €96. There is a subscription version with 20GB of web storage for €7pm. We'll see...

So, companies I loath with products I need: Apple, Adobe.

There's a French film with this very plot.
It has a great cast but sadly it's unwatchable.

You again! Convince me you're not a bot.

This award seems richly deserved. President Madura ensured that Machado was banned from holding public office, ending her run against him in 2024.

It also carries a political message from the Nobel committee. They favour those who fight for the people against an authoritarian government.

N.B. DJT!

Thanks for this! Ewan's take is very helpful. He's right, it is very hard to move to new software, as I am now really fast with Lr. I'm trying out ON1 Photo Raw 2025, but so far, I hate the interface and miss my colour controls.

Photographers: Adobe is hiking its subscription for Lightroom by 50% next month. I can lock in my current plan by prepaying for a year at the current rate, or I can cancel and switch.

Does anyone use a non-subscription alternative to Lightroom that offers a similar workflow?

#adobe

The price of the Photography plan (20GB) annual, billed monthly plan is changing from 11,99 €/month to 18,14 €/month (including applicable Tax/VAT) on your next renewal date. To maintain your effective current base rate (excluding any promotions) you can change your subscription to an annual, prepaid plan.

Your subscription will renew automatically on 09-November-2025 (PT) and will automatically renew annually until you cancel. Price subject to change at renewal. You can manage or cancel your plan anytime directly through your Adobe Account or Customer Support.

I'm having Pareidolic Bypass Syndrome... I can't get this to work. I'll dip my head in alcohol and see if that helps.

The palm fronds create a halo that captures the dynamism of this reclining sloth.

Wow!

I very much appreciate what's in front of you and am wondering where the hell it is...
