More storm debris (this was first intended as today's shot, but the more abstract one made the cut):
The young guy was really quite baffled by what his usual stroll grounds looked like:
The technical troubles persist: Shooting doesn't seem to be a problem, but sometimes, files aren't written correctly; sometimes I get a "File type not readable" error, sometimes it's "only" "Can't read whitebalance information" - which does prevent
darktable from opening the files as well. I'll swap out the SD card next to check if it's that, but if not, it's either bit rot (i.e. file formats being phased out by the maintenance team at the software development group) or the camera slowing failing. Luckily, the embedded JPEGs seem intact,
Polarr works without complaining, so I have an alternative workflow, but pretty limited. The three chosen images for SiJ are done with
darktable, but the documentary shot for FiJ (Film in January) had to be done with
Polarr again.
One last thing: The 18.5mm flares something *cruel* when there's a direct light source in the image; I wasn't aware of that. It's a nice lens otherwise, but severely limited contre-jour.
