One of the many pictures taken yesterday in our experiment with Arduino powered photography. The Arudino board was programmed to detect when the air rifle was shot and 15 ms later fire the flash.
Did a quick shot through the fence at the building (Surya Home) but later realized that there were people looking at me. Are they residents of the home or visitors?
The Via Crucis, Living Stations of the Cross, is an annual Good Friday tradition at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Dalton, Georgia, USA (a 5000 family, 90% Hispanic parish). They are a loving, faithful work of the people of the community, attended by thousands.
I took these pictures when I was pastor there from 2009 to 2022. I always tried to capture the crowds, the individuals, the faces, the emotions, and the pathos of the scenes, in addition to the photogenic and thematic contrasts, colors, textures, and just plain beauty of the scenes.
Over the years, you'll see the actors change and grow up, to the point where, by 2019, the kids who were babes in arms in the early years wanted to put on their own version (the last group of photos). Many of our special needs kids played a big role.
One of the actors who played Jesus went on to West Point and is now serving our country. Other young people in these photos went on to college, but came back to serve our community in various fields, including law and medicine.
Back then, I used a Nikon D40, then a Nikon D3200. These pictures have been enhanced for color and texture with Darktable software.
Experimenting with the processing of raw images using darktable. It also exports direct to Flickr, which in itself is useful. The difference with Darktable and other facilities is the processing options work similar to the 'scripts' function of gimp. Except you choose which options you wish to use on a raw, then alter them as you see fit. Not convinced yet, but some nice features.
