Picturesque Cenarth Falls and the mill they used to power [OC]
  • Not AI generated at all, no. Would you like to see a screenshot of the original RAW file?

  • Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race?
  • "Conservatism [...] can't be defeated with logic and reasoning"

    This is the key point that a lot of people miss.

    If you wholeheartedly, or at least performatively, believe that there is a "natural" hierarchy where some people are better than others, then what one might see as equality is seen as oppression by hardline conservatives.

    This is why emotion is the key component of Trumpian messaging, regardless of veracity.

    The key is to never play the game. Always proactivity act with questions, never "defend" and react with truth; they're not interested in the truth.

  • Some of the most dramatic coastal scenery I've ever witnessed [OC]
  • Thank you! Here's a rough guide to pronouncing these place names:

    Ynys Lochtyn = "UNus LOKH-tun" Llangrannog = "shan-GRAN-og"

    The double-l "ll" letter in Welsh is pronounced like a "sh" sound, but harsher and further back in the mouth.

    Similarly, the "ch" letter is similar to the Scottish Gaelic "ch" sound they use for words like "loch".

  • What Browser do you use on Android, and why?
  • Ah, apologies. I should've specified: Preferably Chromium based. Thank you for your suggestion though, I appreciate it.

  • What Browser do you use on Android, and why?
  • Is there an Android browser that has ad blocking but still allows you to sign into your Google account?

  • Looking down to Pwll y Wrach aka "the Witches Cauldron", a collapsed cave [OC]
  • Thank you! I think about colour palettes and colour contrast a lot.

  • Looking down to Pwll y Wrach aka "the Witches Cauldron", a collapsed cave [OC]
  • Thanks!

    This might give you a better idea of pronunciation.

  • Catrigg Force, still impressive with low water levels [OC]
  • Well this is the Yorkshire Dales; there are caves everywhere. In fact, just south east of where this waterfall is one can follow the main public footpath to Jubilee Cave and Victoria Cave. 👍

  • Meadowsweet flowers frame the curtain of Aysgill Force [OC]
  • I'll happily take that, ta very much!

  • Summer at Devil's Bridge [OC]
  • The state of waterways in this country, and the sheer greed and arrogance of the companies tasked with managing, is abhorrent. There is no way that water should've ever been privatised in England. Water as a resource is a natural monopoly.

  • Summer at Devil's Bridge [OC]
  • Thanks! Sorry to hear that something seems off for you. There's no tilt-shift; this was shot zoomed in at f/11 for sharpness throughout. Saturation has actually been turned down as well, as the greens in all the foliage were really popping.

    Can't be thanked enough
  • You’re very welcome.

  • A wet Bank Holiday weekend finally gave way to a glorious evening [OC]
  • And that's precisely why I shot it! Thank you!

  • That’s very nice of you to say! Ta very much!

  • Endless bluebells in an ancient woodland [OC]

    The karst limestone landscape atop Smearsett Scar in the Yorkshire Dales [OC]
  • A large part of the Yorkshire Dales is comprised of limestone. Limestone kinda dissolves a bit in water and acid rain, so when the water runs through the cracks and joints in the limestone, it can create cool slabs called "clints" separated by deep fissures known as "grikes" or "grykes".

  • A System to Remove Real-World Reflections from RAW Photos

    “We describe a system to remove real-world reflections from images for consumer photography. Our system operates on linear (RAW) photos, with the (optional) addition of a contextual photo looking in the opposite direction, e.g., using the selfie camera on a mobile device, which helps disambiguate what should be considered the reflection.”

  • I am not. I hadn’t heard of it tbh.
