Well hooray to your darktable skills because this came out really well.

[–] colourlesspony@pawb.social 4 points 1 month ago

Thanks! Darktable is great.

Great shot !

I might have overcooked this one in darktable lol

Yeah a bit (sky saturation)

You could also add a bit of contrast and lightness to the moon

[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The image compression isn't helping either

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I guess it's just so that the image doesn't take up that much space on their instance (storage is expensive and inflexible in VPSs)

[–] colourlesspony@pawb.social 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yep, I noticed when I upload large images they never get many upvotes. I think pawb has slow bandwidth and people don't want to wait for a large image to download.

[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Ah gotcha, it's good to not overload the instance

[–] colourlesspony@pawb.social 2 points 1 month ago

Thanks! Yeah, I maybe should have went harder on the contrast instead of the saturation.

The landscape in your photo immediately reminded me of a photo I took in 2014, although I'm betting that yours was taken much closer to Phoenix than mine was.

Nice! I took my shot on Mt Lemmon in Tucson.

[–] StarshotJohn@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Shout out to Mount Lemmon! Took a budding romantic interest up there to camp one time. We had such a memorable experience. Once it got dark we wandered around looking at the stars, only to stumble on a vacant boyscout camp. I miss you Ashley, RIP <3

My guess was wrong! My photo was also taken from Mt. Lemmon in Tucson. Great pic, BTW!

[–] xylogx@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That’s pretty amazing. Where is this?

[–] Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Looks like Arizona to me

[–] colourlesspony@pawb.social 3 points 1 month ago

Thanks! Mt Lemmon in Tucson, AZ.

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Great shot!
