I don't remember developing this one...
Rather happy where Saulala is now process-wise. It seems that there's an actual connection with what I would like to see, and the end result.

A picture of blue sea and some steep, rocky cliffs. Cool, fresh atmosphere, slightly foggy.

A picture of a dark stone room with a narrow, steel gate made out of bars. Behind the gate there's light, flowers and a stone bench.

A woman looking through a hole in a rock wall. The view consists of a rocky cliff meeting the blue, foamy sea.

A few more photos taken with the #Thypoch Simera 28mm f/1.4 and my #Canon EOS R5, developed in #darktable

It feels like it's been weeks since I saw the sun the last time... it's a very gloomy winter and the time I can dedicate to my #photography is suffering from both the weather and my (over)work schedule.

I think a couple of the photos are developed with the new #AgX module

picture of a field with green grass, a blue sky mostly covered by dark clouds and in the foreground a few yellow/orangeish ferns

Very contrasty black and white photo: in the distance there's a very cloudy sky and hills fading in the mist.
In the middle ground on the left the silhouette of a tree, in the center a small building (possibly a well) and on the right a house.
In the foregrorund there are two sides of a gate, partially divelted and broken down, framing the well in the centre of the photo.

picture of olive trees, and in the distance hills and a cloudy sky

very moody picture of olive trees on a hillside, in the distance more hills covered in different species of trees and a heavily covered sky

Missed the focus and everything, but the feeling is there.

For those exploring the AgX module in darktable, here is a link to the online manual, explaining it in great detail.

A couple of weeks ago we headed up to Sheringham on the North Norfolk coast. It was very cold but local birders were reporting a rare visitor.

The Eastern Black Redstart. When we saw it the Redstart was favouring the windowsills of a block of flats and a small neighbouring building site, not the best background but some clear views.

While we were waiting and searching with the other birders, a large black SUV pulled up and three fellas hopped out who had just arrived from northern Wales!

eBird users are still tagging it there even today if you want to find it.

A picture of Italian houses built very close to rocky cliffs. Blue sea on the right of the frame, a steep mountain in the far background. Sunny atmosphere

Tired of looking at my own photos when testing the app, so I grabbed some sunsets/sunrises made by others...

A picture of a Bournemouth (UK) coast. Cool and windy. Large wave in the deep blue sea. A few kiteboarders in the distance. Autumny vibes.

Southern globe thistle (Echinops ritro), withered with a bit of snow on top, January 2026

What I do know is that I really like the new #agx tonemapper module in #darktable, providing really good results with relative ease. I'm gonna use it as my default for now, and see where that will take me. It provides a very nice control over contrast and colors, and I barely scratched the surface so far.

It's been ages since I posted a photo, but here is one. Very much to celebrate #darktable 5.4 and the new #AgX tonemapper module, which I think is just amazing! Thank you, Darktable!
