But like Luna said, processing is also an important part of the photography process and although I don't think many of the images you showed need adjustments, some do need their highlights toned down, like the one below the pier.

Yeah, I think next time will be better, when I kinda know a bit what to look for and what to pay attention to.

Do you shoot in jpeg?

Yes, unfortunately this photos were made in .jpeg, which I know is absolutely not good format (I was doing image processing as a part of my thesis, which makes me quite ashamed for using this ). Right now I am looking to buy myself new digital camera that will not be too complicated but will give me a little bit of space to improve my skills over time and adjust it for my needs. Right now I am thinking about buying Sony Alpha a6000, but I am still not quite sure what to pick.

I really enjoy the composition in these, you did well on getting the feel for where things should be in a photo! 

Well, thank you. To be honest it's one of the first times I tried to make photos with a bit of thinking and trying to not be ashamed of stopping everywhere with the camera pointed to something.

The editing is good, though I find the photos to be a bit bright. Have you familiarized yourself with ISO settings? They are life or death when it comes to sunny days 

Yes, I got familiarized with those settings, however I had still no idea what I was doing for most of the times and my photos were either overexposed or basically too dark. I think I just need more practice and trying to fool around with the settings a bit more. Still, those photos were relatively not bad on exposure, I had worse ones that even where the composition was good, it was definitely looking too damn bright.

Also, I was not doing the editing  I was just watching and learning mostly.

So I also made some photos lately and I quite like them. Do not judge me too hard, I am quite a newbie and I still needed a hand with editing them a bit

Hello, German Chemist, nice to see you there!

Also, this German Chemist have an amazing abilkity to speak Polish, so you want to try him out some day!

Hello, Waper! Nice to see you here!

About competitive - yea, I also stopped playing League of Legends for my inpatience and trust issues Or maybe my trust issues came from that, I do not know.

Anyway, nice to have you here!

Oh, I remember you!  I saw some people chatting on the hill about OC, so I came by and sent invites!

Nice to see you here, I'm really happy you made it to the website and decided to stay. And if you feel a little bit lonely, make sure you join our TeamSpeak server as well, a lot of people are hanging out there.

Sorry, but I can still see similarities  It is just his jaw and lips for me there. 

And those are just purrfect <3 

Hmm... Second one on your previous post, Wolfie, looks a bit like Lelling with bewbs (based on my imagination and two photos of Lelling without bewbs).

But, wow, that's quality artwork!

Wow! You have much better gear than I do  I am soooo jelaous! But you are raiding, so that explains a lot.

For all of the events we use CET timezone for now, and CEST for summer time. I believe that Ontario is 6 hours behind CET (at least Toronto, because my auntie lives there).

Anyway, welcome and have fun!

Uh, oh, how come I have never seen this before?!

So, hello. I am Vill, nice to meet you everyone. If you've been coming to OC events during last month, you should know me, since I am Junior Commander at Event Team! I recently joined also TT Team, so you may see me there more often soon!

I am from Poland, Silesia District, but now I am living in Warsaw. I'm working on Clinical Trials for one of the biggest Pharmaceutical companies in the world. But I am not the scientist, I manage data that comes from trials from all around the world, so it is more office work than anything else.

Gaming is one of my hobbies, and I played GW2 with (long) breaks for 5 years now. I started after beta and currently I am actively playing again since August. This time I met OpenCommunity and finally I feel like I have something to do in this game after I reach lvl 80. It's more fun with people

In DV since late September. Currently I am working on my build and cash - recently I spent a lot of money for commander tag and some of the collection items that rarely drop, so I can get my ascended thingies quickly. If you need any help or just want to do the Fractals on weekends (MONEY MONEY MONEY), let me know

Oh, yes I think our soups are the best for cold winters. But I also love onion soup and I believe that came from France  Actually you don't need to buy sour flour, you can also make it. Here's a quick recipe:
5-7 tablespoons of rye flour
500-700 ml of water
4 cloves of garlic
5 bay leaves
5 whole allspice berries (dried)

Add everything into a jar and cover with piece of cloth. Store in warm place and stir daily. When it starts to smell a bit acidy, you have it ready to use

This dessert looks wayyyy to sweet for me  But I'll guess I will try it anyway, since it does not require any baking and I don't have oven right now. 

I was talking about polish cuisine lately and I found out it mainly consist of a lot of bacon. My favorites are soups - and there are also soups served in bread (so you can eat the dish and you don't need to do them ). I am from Silesia, southern part of Poland, which language and cuisine is influenced by Germany (if I speak Silesian, people in other parts of Poland cannot understand me completely) and our favorite soup is sour rye soup.

It is soup made of soured rye flour and a lot of meat. First you need to make broth (preferably use smoked ribs for it). Then you add fried, cubed bacon with onion and cubed vegetables such as: potatoes, carrots, parsley root, celery root. You can also use raw kielbasa (also called white in Poland) - it can be added to soup as a whole or sliced - and button mushrooms. When all of the veggies are cooked, it's time to add soured rye flour. If you feel it is not sour enough, you can add also sour cream.

Best served with hard boiled eggs. Final dish looks like this:

Hello! So I have decided to share my face too. 

At the first photo there is my working face. Second one is my working face after wisdom teeth removal. And the third one is party face!

Hello! I joined to Discord group! My name is Vill (Villhelma#7409)

Lelling: confirmed

Hello there!

I've been playing this games 4 years ago and then I stopped and forgot about it. 2 months ago I reminded myself of it and joined again. As I forgot almost everything completely, I was starting from the scrap. I was really shy and was thinking that with my crappy gear and lack of skill I can't do anything. I was playing HoT map and stumbled across HP run, so I joined. Next I was invited to Triple Trouble, Dragon's Stand, PoF HP run... And I found out I don't really need gear and skill when I have experienced commander and lots of people around me happy to help. So I joined PvE guild and now I'm here 

Happy Community Week, guys!
