2025-08-07 Spent the day at Irrland. It was pretty packed, which was to be expected due to the nice weather and the fact that it is summer vacation time. It was our first time there, and the thing that struck me...

I also try to spend as little time as possible with post processing. (I enjoy being outside, taking photos way more!) Plus, I am in front of a computer way too much anyway so I don't want to spend even more time tweaking my photographs. 🙂

Yeah no, that was not by mistake. I just like the image that way. 🙂 It matches what It felt like in the moment.

I only use the histogram to make sure that highlights are not clipping (if I can help it). Other than that, my post processing happens mostly by *feeling*.

I like my images dark and moody, but I wouldn't call them underexposed. At least on the monitors I am looking at them they work – for me. (However none of my monitors are calibrated… 🤷‍♂️)
