Thanks for keeping the themes coming, even if I know you have tons of work to do at the farm!
I do like that idea of a theme relay, though. Not that I need another big event to jump into right after we've finished with the grand Nexus thing, but I think you're onto something there. A series of themes that follow naturally from one to the other (colors in the spectrum, phases of the moon, months, historical epochs, etc.) done as flash themes of one every week with a different curator for each, perhaps? Many curators for one unified (really big, wide-open) theme, with each selecting a different set of shots based on different parameters (one curator for landscapes, one for portraits, one for pictures of dogs, one for the color green, etc.)? Themes that follow one after the other based on the specific images contributors bring, like the surrealist head-bodies-feet/exquisite corpse game? A series of theme ideas written down on slips of paper, blindly drawn out of a hat, and randomly assigned to a team of volunteer curators to run as simultaneous events?
Anyway, back on track, I look forward to seeing what plays out this round!
Yep, I run the nursery part of a mixed regenerative ag operation. Spent part of yesterday afternoon rounding up escaped goats, and today it's masonry patch-work. What do y'all grow on your acreage?
Our land is used mainly for pasture for our animals along with vegetables for ourselves and the animals to eat. We specialize in miniature/dwarf breeds of livestock (horses, pygmy goats, pot belly pigs, rabbits, etc) due to their size our animals are sold as pets to small hobby farms or even as household pets. We are fairly young as we are only a few years in, so we are still growing. This year we are hoping to add some miniature calico sheep, and a miniature donkey. I come from a farming background so it is nice to continue it as a hobby and it is pretty cool to see what was originally viewed as a farm animal to go home to someone who is going to love it like a pet.
I'll see what I can come up with,... but also curious what others will do with this theme,..
Great inspiration set,...
I saw the etiquette 'problem' that you mentioned (shakes head)
And as always, your "inspiration gallery" is fantastic. Whatever your post-processing rituals are, you always create the richest colors and painstakingly posed shots.
Also, I just learned that word jazz is a thing.
As far as post-processing goes, I'll often add a bit of yellow to the shadow mix, balanced with blue in the highlights, then slap a real gentle RGB S curve to slightly boost the shadow saturation. The whole thing warms the image up to how I like it. Often I'll also tinker with the white level- I find that a broader mid-tone balance makes for a less painful in-game navigation experience, but doesn't always look as crisp come screen-shooting time.
