One of the things I want to do is to get rid of pirated software, in the photo editing realm of course, I use to use mostly ligthtroom ( from pirate bay ) and I kinda want to not use it any more. So I searched for alternatives ( free ) and there was 2 main software's Raw Therapee and Darktable. I Chose Darktable because ( at least that is what every one is saying ) it is gives much greater editing options. With that said I started to read it's manual and watch some video tutorials, and I can say that it is a quite good opponent to lightroom actually, it does basically the same things as lightroom but the difference is the layout, and to be honest I kinda like that darktable has more options ( in light and color) than Lightroom. Lightroom is more of a easier to learn at the beginning and it offers faster editing, Darktable it is complicated ( a little bit ) but in the long run ( I've been started to use it for 4 day now 😅 ) it is just as powerful if not even more powerful than lightroom. In Darktable I get the impression that I actually edit a photo. In lightroom I have a impression that I edit it for instagram of facebook. But I might change opinions in time who knows. Comparing the fact that Lightroom cost allot of money and Darktable just a internet conection for download.... I seriously believe that darktable is the winner ( at this moment at least ). Thanks for the visit and have a nice day! 😊
The composition is based on two photos:
1st. The Illuminated Base. Since I was late, I couldn't illuminate the plants and had to take a 108-second photo with ISO 5000 and F4. In addition, with the bad luck that many parts of the plants were illuminated in red. Obviously, all this creates enough of a problem to not continue developing.
2nd. A photo of the Milky Way, which with the F4 limitation I had, was 25 seconds with ISO 5000 (I was very confident with the RAW Denoise, but an ISO 4000 and 28 seconds would surely have been better). The fact of having an F4 forces me to lengthen the exposure, which is not ideal, but I prefer that the point moves a little and gain depth of capture.
The process followed was (all done with Darktable on Linux):
a) Apply an AI model to remove noise in the 1st and 2nd photos (Raw Denoise Nind Model)
b) Process the base (the 1st).
c) Process the Milky Way (the 2nd), superimposing via the Composite module (the base) and applying my pipeline adapted to the Milky Way.
The problem was the base, which had a lot of noise and red colors.
The framing can also be improved, but since it was late, you know, this is where all the bad things begin.
Well, this is the photo, which can be improved a lot, but it has its charm.
re-edited photo from 2019 HSS
I didn't have a great photo editing program in 2019 so I took this favorite photo and edited it in darktable. since it was a jpg not raw some edits didn't work as well, but adding contrast and filmic and chroma and blurring the ground area a little a really added some character to my original and made Bob stand out!
Torre solitaria.
Muro de Roda se alza amurallado sobre un tozal. Quedó abandonado hace décadas pero su muralla y su torre siguen saludando al sol del atardecer.

Muro de Roda rises walled over a mountain. It was abandoned decades ago, but its wall and tower still greet the sunset light.
