I make this image public for getting an impression of the AVIF format (can be opened in the latest IrfanView, Chrome and Firefox): Link to AVIF in Google Drive

The AVIF image compression (in the HEIF container) is a very promising format as it provides good image quality in a very small package and is (in comparison to HEIC) free of any licenses. I hope Flickr as well as Google and Microsoft products will soon have full support for this innovation.

Besides the high compression efficiency the big advantage over JPEG is that a color depth per channel of 10 and even 12 bit is supported.

This sample is generated using the avifenc.exe command line encoder for windows.

I used this parameters:

avifenc.exe --cicp 2/2/1 -r limited -y 420 -j 6 --min 30 --max 40 --minalpha 30 --maxalpha 40 in.png out.avif

The result is:

- 6 threads used (for my 6 CPU cores)

- to colorspace YUV420 (422 and 444 is not supported by the Windows AV1 extension)

- 12 bit per channel

700KB for 35MP

Link to Windows encoder binary

Alternate (2x as fast in my benchmarks)

The greatest symbolism of the Dandelion flower comes from its unique puff-ball seed head rather than the sunny flower. Kids and adults alike pick the seed head – known as a clock in America and Europe for its shape – and blow the Dandelion seeds away while making a wish.

I hope you all have a wonderful time… 🍂 lala•*¨*•.¸¸laa ♪

And you’re the desert sand, I’ll be your water

And you’re the perfect plan I never thought of

I don’t wanna do this on my own

And you shouldn’t have to be alone

I would rather be alone together

Be alone together...

Hi all!!!

This time, I wanted simplicity. I wanted to show the suffering that we can have at the bottom of us.

Story : I despair alone in a world that is not mine. How to get out of it?

I made this picture for an exhibition inword (Come take a look ahah) : here

Thanks for watching and your support !! ♡

What is the most inspiring thing a photographer can do? Just travel and look for new views, new emotions and new friends. So lets just make it real.

Leaving the city for some weeks to make a little trip in my country.

Here's a flipped panorama from some cute location close to Helsinki, Finland, May 2014.

♫ I can make it through the rain

I can stand up once again

On my own and I know

That I'm strong enough to mend

And every time I feel afraid

I hold tighter to my faith

And I live one more day

And I make it through the rain ♫

Well maybe it's just this mishmash of images that makes no sense but I like it and it's made up of a few shots I took this morning. I started with a visit from my deer family, progressed through some dew covered spiders and webs in the sunlight and ended up with a 4 inch long Imperial Moth caterpillar. Interesting morning. I've been working on my vacation shots to the exclusion of a good slide so I thought I'd craft up something from this morning with the caterpillar and the other images composited together.

If you have forgotten or this is your first time viewing my photostream: Things That Make No Sense are just that, assorted bits of amusement for nothing more than visual curiosity and my idea of what I call art or abstract art. Now a series of sorts, the series is interrupted with photographs that do make sense, or at least make sense to me. You can like them or not but they make me smile.

Happy Slider Sunday - HSS!

These two are about to shoot at each other. They might give eachother a hand:-).

Make your heart like a lake. With a calm and quiet surface and a depth filled with kindness ...

A peaceful and pleasant walk on the shore of a lake together ... Thank you darling for a beautiful day 💕
