Pic of the Day

[RustyIron]

Just south of the Grand Canyon!

The color of the sky makes me think you're riding your bike on a quest in Mordor.

 

[SwampNut]

I vaguely understand that to be a fantasy video game. But yeah, AZ sunsets are always red, and you can tune the red however you want.

 

[Stihldog]

It's excessive HDR and saturation, image processing after the fact. Here's a subtle one.

I really need to upgrade my iPhone 12.

I really need to upgrade my iPhone 12.

The 14 Pro cameras are pretty stunning. I've been into photography as a hobby all my life, and once part time pro. You can do so much with this phone, and SLRs are kind of an afterthought for me.

Currently learning to leverage 360 cameras.

Don’t know how to use filters yet but here a lame attempt in my backyard.

Don’t know if I could make this any better?

No filters are needed in that picture.

 

[SwampNut]

That's awesome. Filters are easy, spend half an hour messing with some while watching TV and it will make sense. That may or may not be improved with tuning, you never know until you do it.

I should say that pic was figuratively in my backyard. My house is 300M to the right…or 2 minutes away. Before the snowstorm also.

I take weird pictures like this;

I agree. It's been a LOT of years since I've even owned a REAL camera. I had my 14 Pro a couple days before they were scheduled to be released, and I can assure you, it's the best camera I've ever owned.

There is a HUGE limitation, however, and it really chaps my hide. The camera automatically saves in HDR, and you can't turn it off. WTF is that? I'm a photographer, not some millennial instagram jockey trying to cram every effect into a single photograph. All I need is an option in Setup that allows me to turn off HDR.

My workaround was to download another camera app. I've found Halide to be satisfactory, but its integration with the rest of the operating system is not as good.

Anyway, despite its faults, it's far ahead of whatever is in second place.

 

[SwampNut]

Huh, I didn't realize they had removed the ability to disable HDR. In the last few versions it's been so good I haven't wanted to disable it. I don't even see whether it's also saving the original also as it used to allow. I assume in ProRaw/ProRes it doesn't do HDR? Do you know? But those files are B--I--G.

 

[RustyIron]

I'm certain that the 14 Pro does not save the original as a duplicate. HDR can be turned off in some of the video modes. I'm not certain about Raw images... I suspect not, because that's the sort of thing I would remember.

Before and after pictures .Was up by the River Spey today. Everyone has been watching the water eating away and getting closer to Ross house. Someone set fire to it in the summer so I'm thinking they removed it before it got washed away .

I’m not laughing at you …I wouldn’t do that. I’m laughing with you

Aren't we all "south of the North pole"?

 

[Tonybro]

Aren't we all "south of the North pole"?

Geographic or magnetic pole? Technically you could be north of the magnetic pole but a compass would still point north!

Reminds me of Monty Python's Holy Grail - 'African or European swallow?'

 

[EnduroDad2k]

I was out riding dirt bikes in Death Valley and found myself looking for e-MTB trails. Has anyone ridden out there? Seems a bit too loose and sandy for ebikes.

No, if your south of the equator, than your just north of the south pole
