#photography with a focus on #nature, #wildlife and #birds, but I dabble in everything from #astro and #landscape to #macro. I prefer #FOSS to manage and edit my photos, including #Fedora, #digiKam, #RawTherapee, #Darktable, #GIMP, #Siril, #RapidPhotoDownloader and #ExifTool. Image EXIF metadata are visible on my instance.
