I have a client who wants a certain vibe. They have some LR presets.

One striking thing is that the sky is turned blue when it's grey, and when it's already blue it becomes this deep tropical azure.

I don't care if people like it, my client has this style for years and it is what they want - and frankly, I want to learn how to do it in Darktable.

Currently I am using a LUT with a Teal&Orange, but it feels like cheating, and I have little control over what happens.
Is there a module that can do this?

In LR they are changing the highlights so I think that's a place to start.
I was looking at color balance, but the effect is not very strong.
I also looked at the color lookup table but I find it difficult to control the target color - it is done in green-magenta balance and not really 'a color'.

I don't know about Panasonic, but here's something you never hear about Olympus M43 sensors: They have an insanely high readout speed.

This allows you to shoot almost anything including action with a silent shutter - no mechanical wear and tear.
It also makes the magic of Pro-capture possible, which isn't a thing with mechanical shutters.

It's probably to do with sensor size. I tried a Sony A7II or III once; the silent shutter is just unusable for anything that moves. Even a high shutterspeed will show a huge jello-effect.

To compare: The Olympus M1.II (2016) is in the same range as the much newer Canon R6 mark II (2022): 14 milliseconds. At this speed action photography becomes possible. Olympus did that in 2016 and promptly put pro-capture on their camera. Now you can pick one up for around 450.

The OM-1 (7ms) is in the same range as the Canon R3 (5ms) - which is an €5800 professional sports camera.

Next time someone speaks ill of small sensors, remember that a physically small sensor has far less rolling shutter - and that brings hand held high res, pro-capture, pretty good video, live ND filters and a really workable silent shutter.

Ik vond vandaag bij het graven een ijzeren leiding in de grond. Ongeveer 40 cm diep. Hij is van ijzer want hij is roestig. Hij is ongeveer 2cm in doorsnee.

Google zegt dat het een waterleiding kan zijn - als dat zo is past dat bij de leeftijd van het huis ( > 100 jaar). Hij loopt ook naar het punt waar de waterleiding binnenkomt.

Stel dat het inderdaad de waterleiding is, dan vind ik dat geen geweldig idee - want hij roest.

Klopt het principe 'alles vóór de meter is het probleem van de watermaatschappij' ?
Komen ze zo'n leiding preventief vervangen, of moeten we wachten tot hij is doorgeroest?
Had dat niet al lang gebeurd moeten zijn? (het vervangen, niet het doorroesten)
