Male Canada geese are very aggressive. During mating season they choose a female (if they do not have one, as they are monogamous) and defend her (and later the nest) against all rivals (even other species).
This scene started with a couple sleeping at the edge of the pond, when suddenly a second pair loudly came swimming across to chase the couple away. The couple did not budge, and instead it lead to a long fight about whom the pond belongs to. I was standing right next to them, and they were a) loud and b) scary!
Olstinden is a prominent 675 m high mountain in the south of the Lofoten Islands in Norway. We saw it from the car on the way to the next campsite, and I just had to stop and take a panoramic photo.
The sunlight beautifully catches on the rims of the waxing crescent moon's craters.
This image was stacked from 20 individual photos. The process was similar to an earlier attempt (see https://www.picturavis.com/picture?/253/), except that I converted to JPG at the very end.

Treecreepers can be found in forests flying from tree to tree looking for insects. They are very good climbers and often start further down on a tree trunk, working their way up. Their coloring can make them almost invisible on a tree if they stop moving.
First, I wish you all a happy new year! The Fediverse is awesome and you are all awesome!
This is my first attempt at creating a stacked moon image. The moon was a bit low, so there is a lot of "wobbling" in the images, making perfect registration of craters difficult. After some quick research and trial and error, I settled for the following workflow:
Batch processing of 14 individual RAW files with RawTherapee to JPEG
Manual cropping around moon for each image in GIMP
Nonrigid registration of all photos onto first image in Fiji via bUnwrapJ
Second nonrigid registration via Align Layers from G'MIC in GIMP
Stacking of all 14 images into one image via Blend [Average All] from G'MIC in GIMP
Sharpen via Sharpen [Gold-Meinel] from G'MIC in GIMP
Super, wie sich digiKam zügig weiter entwickelt und tolle KI Gesichtserkennung ohne Cloud anbietet. Ich benutze sie seit Jahren (Jahrzehnten?) und vermisse nix.
@ulfi Ich denke, dass wir in dem Bereich KI bei #Digikam in den kommenden Jahren noch mehr sehen werden. Es ist schon erstaunlich, was sich da in den vergangenen Monaten getan hat. Beispielsweise würde ich da einiges im Bereich Schärfen und Hochskalieren von Bildern erwarten. Algorithmen/Modelle, wie in https://www.upscayl.org/ (AGPL 3) sind sicher auch in Digikam zukünftig nutzbar.
The spoonbill is a striking bird with a long spoon-like bill that makes it easily recognizable from a distance. Depending on the specimen, it is as large or slightly smaller than a white stork or grey heron, but has shorter wings than either. Although its biosphere is shrinking, it is not considered endangered.
Taken at the Reindeer Lodge near Jukkasjärvi, Sweden. A beautiful place, but unfortunately without reindeer in August. They do not like the mosquitoes. Neither did I.
@mcc
That's true, I am biased, I own 2 tablets and do my very basic photo manipulation in either #digikam (e.g. cropping) or #darktable (like reduce wrinkles in old faces).
(Unluckily you can't do darktable very good with a tablet only, it really requires a scroll mouse thingie).
