Found these cute old sheds (still in use!) in Woodland Park while exploring a new route with the knobby-ish gravel tires on my Soma Stanyan. :blobfoxthumbsup: (1)
Definitely getting better with the color calibration tool in #Darktable. Having the flexibility to pick any hue for the illuminant is very nice! :blobfoxgoogly:
Had a blast riding over Stevens Pass, Blewett Pass, and Snoqualmie Pass over the weekend! I finally became comfortable with counterleaning allowing me to put my CBR650R to good use on twisty roads, and the Corbin saddle with 2” extra height over the stock seat saved my knees and wrists. This bike is so much fun! (Album (more photos))
Getting #photography advice from #photog coworkers. Biggest takeaway so far is that I really needed to increase the brightness of my monitors. :blobfoxgoogly:
Photo of the #moon this morning at approximately 0830 local time. Edited RAW photo in #DarkTable@darktable.
The sky was not black, it was light blue. The moon was faint, but clearly visible. I shot at about f/16 equivalent aperture (due to 2x teleconverter) with an equivalent focal length of 2400mm in DX 1.5x crop mode, 1/400s and ISO 400. I tried to get interval exposures to stack in #Siril@Siril_Official but was unable to get target registration working with a debayer error, therefore the stack failed. I will have to figure out how to properly do this.
I'm unsure if I need light/dark frames or not in order to get the process to function. I've also seen some people record footage and break the footage down into individual frames...might have to consider doing that. It was painful trying to get a decent processing of the moon today; Despite the reasonably low ISO I was getting tons of noise and bayer filter pattern across the entire exposure.
And a colorized version, more true to life to how it looked this morning. I'm just now exploring things like Photoshop and Lightroom, trying to get the hang of things. #photography#moon#moonphotography#lunarphotography
Hello! I'm Wes, and I wear many hats. By day I am an IT Guru at a local self driving car company, by night I am a Photographer / Videographer operating in the Music (Pittsburgh) and Fandom (Conventions) areas.
I run with Windows as my main desktop, but Linux automates much of my life. At home I am
OS agnostic. I have used Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android and iOS in my day to day. I script and code and automate.
I'm currently watching a lot of Anime, and addicted to MCU and in general special effects heavy movies/shows. I am a Trekkie, Farscaper, and Serenity-ite
I like to play games with automation / factory type play style. I also play Minecraft (run a server with help), Shapez2 (alpha), and in general don't have as much time to play as I like.
My music tastes are everywhere. Before I moved to Pittsburgh, it was varied. Today with all the work I do with musicians it has only grown more. One day I can chill in the Darkwave scene, the next catch a local folk artist complete with a Uke in tow.
I attend at least 3 Fandom Conventions a year (because I volunteer at them):
connecticon.org
katsucon.org
station-unity.org
If you go to any of them, say hi. I also have been tossing around with going to cosplay conventions as wesmasonmedia.com.
My Wife (@Rach) is on here too, she is a wonderful person and the two of us actively work to help our cat survive his nature.
I have three kids who can't be bothered with another social media platform. That may change, but for now that is what it is.
