Shoot 2023-04-02-094714

On a recent rare warm evening, we saw a nice sunset down on Elliott Bay in Seattle. Just before the sun went down I was able to get a couple dark shots of a new lifer, Brant. The geese were hanging out just off shore, right near all the people hanging out there to see the sunset.

I didn't have my wide lens, but I was able to take some panorama frames of the mountains at 210mm.

My "birds in review" collages can be found here.

The above hashes-<date>.txt file contains SHA-256 hashes of all the photos from this shoot. The hashes-<date>.txt.sig is a signature of that hashes file, created with my PGP key. The signature file itself was written to both the Bitcoin Cash and Algorand blockchains, in the OP RETURN and Note fields respectively, using the transactions below. In short, this proves that these photos and the signature both existed at the time the transactions were written to the Bitcoin Cash and Algorand blockchains. This blog post has more details.

Lightroom Classic did a nice job merging the three frames in a pano, but it left four strange regularly-spaced artifacts in the darkest parts of the image (the forested area just at the shoreline to the left of the center of the image). I needed to use Photoshop to align and warp that original frame over the pano, then color match the original frame that contained that region, and use a layer mask to paint over those artifacts. Then I used Lightroom's clone tool to help smooth the transition into those fixed areas.
