Sweet, it is always fun to learn new stuff, but don't diss your phone too hard, while it does have it's limitations, it is great to learn about composing a photo and try out new angles.
I carry my Lumix S5 with my Lumix 24-105mm f/4 lens every day, it is a fantastic camera, and sometimes I also put on my Sigma 100-400mm supertelezoom lens and go plane spotting, but it is heavy, expensive and sometimes annoying to get a specific shot with it, so I use my iPhone 12 Mini as well.
The camera we have on us is the best camera to use!
(Except how my car got hit today and I immediately went for my Rebel T7, and then my auto insurance website on my phone wanted me to upload photos; oops.)
Damn, sorry about the incident!
I know my S5 and earlier GX80 cameras have the abillity to send photos to my phone using an onboard wifi hotspot, doe the T7 nor have that?
It does!
...but I was shooting in RAW and sending sixteen giant accident photos to my phone, then importing them to the files app, and converting them to PNG, then sending them to the insurer, all that wasn't gonna happen in the car. Was easy once I got home to Darktable.
Ah, I see the problem, I normally set my camera in RAW+JPG mode, so when I transfer the files to my phone I only get the JPGs, that does take up more space (looking at my current project at building my first NAS, which is more expensive than I thought...), and I don't really use the RAW files for anything, but I feel secure that they are a backup....
Yeah, I'm trying to shoot in RAW only, so I can figure out how to edit my photos and develop a style that wasn't predefined by Apple. I'm getting there!
Shoot both. The JPEG's take up negligible space and are good if you need something "at the moment" for a purpose or to share. You can also compare your finished product to what the camera would have done by itself.
Cool! I'm glad more people are picking up Darktable! Ever since I switched the 'image processing workflow' to 'scene-referred (sigmoid)' my editing productivity skyrocketed. It's way more intuitive than the filmic RGB module IMHO. How are you finding Darktable?
That's a SIGINT ship isn't it?
SIGSEGV

You know, when I saw the title, I thought to myself, "I've been there... on a warship." Then I saw the pic. Is the Portland Rose Festival happening now?
Yup!
Love it first place I saw the Pacific! Haystack rock too!
