My pleasure! Though I prefer the workflow and UI of darktable, the RAW demosaicing in RawTherapee is undeniably superior in all respects - what it does with fine detail borders on the impossible for a Bayer sensor.

don't forget to try the new noise reduction: really effective and in these days speed is even improving
i use rawtherapee since 2007 and it's my favourite
i've tried darktable about two years ago but i didn't like it so much because at that time lots of feature were missing; anyway it seems it evolved a lot so i think i'll try a new version these days

I just wanted to say that I visited your gallery, and I found some really nice photos here
Next time when I'll write a new art feature journal, I think I'll include one of your works, because I think you really deserve more attention 
Have a nice day!

I wanted to thank you for your write up of the Voigtlander 50mm f/3.5 Heliar. It is hard to find information on Voigtlander gear, and your post was really helpful.
Also, nice gallery!

Hi Devin,
I'm not active in Flickr anymore - best bet is to send me a PM here, or (as you said) AIM - What's up?

You have a beautiful gallery. It makes me wonder how you are not more reconized on DA! Anyways, keep up the great work.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you for the kind message! I guess there are just so many better and more interesting galleries on DA, that mine gets lost in the noise! But I appreciate your enjoyment of it, and I hope to post some new work soon. I have turned to 100% analogue photography, with no method as of yet to port my work online. That is just as well, since the learning curve is rather steep.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of course! I understand that. I would love to see new things. With analogue photography you could always develop them and scan them onto the computer.

Some incredible shots. You have a knack for seeing the wonder and intricacies in every aspect of life.

Thank you for your kind comment; We as humans have the amazing choice of being able to experience everyday life to whatever level of granularity we wish - so, most of the time, I try to experience (and capture) it at a fine level of granularity. That certainly has its ups and its downs [when it comes to the good, and the bad - of which there is certainly a lot in South Africa] but I certainly enjoy capturing it.

Hi Dan, Life is good yes, apart from the fact that (again) thieves have broken into my car and stolen some items. But hopefully I will be back posting regularly to my gallery soon. Hope all is well with you too!

Following is sound advice:
Get rid of the car. Or buy a very tired cheap looking one.
Oh and get to restoring the old Merc!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Restoration of the old merc is actually going well (slowly, but surely). I will try to update the blog a bit more often
Get rid of the SEC? Nevah!
