July 27, 2024 gallery is up!

I feel like it’s a miracle every time I complete a gallery these days. But I have incentive, because my OneDrive storage is starting to max out. Gotta clear out all those RAW images.

Also, I should note a weird and whacky workflow for this batch of shots in terms of post-processing:

• I started with Affinity Photo 2, editing RAW images, then exporting them as WebP files. Yes, WebP!
• I then switched to Luminar AI (it had the name before AI became associated with everything terrible in the world) and used that the rest of the way. This program lets you aggressively alter specific aspects of a photo using very simple sliders. I used the sliders a lot. I was actually impressed at how it “saved” a few iffy photos.

Anyway, I may use Luminar more in the future, especially if I want to add random giraffes, which it totally lets you do.
