Really excited for SDOT to finally open the new protected bike lane that will finish the outer loop around Green Lake for cyclists! (Original)

Oh, and I got a Specialized Phenom for this bike since I know that saddle works for me and has enough setback. #cycling #bicycle #seabikes #Seattle

I wonder if I should start taking #photos with a lower ISO rating than my usual 640, or just let the camera decide. The noise saddens me. #photography #photog #photo

Thanks. My lenses can open to f/2.8, but I'd like to keep focus fairly even across the scene (less bokeh).

Darktable can denoise, but it has its limits. If the denoise filter is applied too strongly, textured stuff looks too smooth.

I very much prefer roads that don't have such kind of "bicycle infrastructure", for various reasons. See for example the roads I used on my bike ride yesterday.
