Gander (Canada's homegrown social network) in taking beta testers! I noticed that #gander will eventually be connecting with Canadian content in #bluesky!

Here is my profile, follow me there if you are part of the beta!

Beautiful!

Yes you did!! I had assumed you had a lamp inside shining out!

Very cool effect! I like how the light shines out around the doors from inside!

New place to explore with my camera #cambridgebutterflyconservatory and new compositing techniques for #52frames_unexplored this week

Walkabout - abstract explorations.

It's kind of silly, all that work and it looks the same as if I'd just snapped a pic on the bridge! 🙃

Crossing the bridge to Sheave Mill Tower, Blair Road, Ontario.

I'm exploring the Brenizer Method for #52Frames_unexplored week. I haven't found the right location or subject (yet) for this method, but, WOW, it is a lot of work to process the files!
Here is a pic of Sheave Mill, an unexplored location for me (composite image of 70 pics).

OK, my final for #52frames_complementarycolors! I decided to also try for the extra challenge #productphotography.

Yes, I agree. I've been putting off going out with the camera because of how cold it is!

Complimentary Calm? A man wearing a brown shirt reads while seated on a blue couch. (Can the "visual vibration" of pastel complimentary colours be considered calming? I'm not sure.)

The sun shines through the branched of a pine tree, onto the deep snow on the ground. Split toning was used to enhance the orange of the sunrise with the blue-white shadows in the snow around the base of a pine tree.

#52frames_complimentarycolors is giving me quite a bit of difficulty this week!
So far I've an awkward selfie and a phone pic of a tree at sunrise!
I will keep looking!

Excellent eye Michelle! Such great images!

Good idea, I wish I'd thought to when taking it! I was so focused on getting sharp shadows I didn't think about how dark they were! I couldn't really make many adjustments post without making it look odd. Next time, I'll know better!

Final for the #52frames_chair challenge this week - I focused on the gliding rocker we used when our sons were just babies! The chair holds a lot of memories!

All great! My favourite is the wicker abstract!

I use OnlyOffice - I'm retired so don't really need all the features of LibreOffice.

I'm not a big gamer but have had no problems so far in Aurora (Valheim, Dark souls).

What really got me was the fact they don't seem to care how BAD it has become! They just keep releasing broken updates.

Yep, I use an online service for that anyway!

It is just my wife and I. I've used Linux for years on my own hobby laptop. I chose Aurora because I wanted something stable and difficult to break. KDE is similar to windows layout so seems familiar for my wife. We've kept all the same apps (firefox, onlyoffice...etc). So no complaints.

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

I've had only one challenge so far - with the use of an online backup service - but now have that workingm so all is good!

Did you install the gnome de? I'm using KDE so is similar to windows in function and appearance.
