That is quite nice composition for a beginner. Well done

It says failed to load media unfortunately. I'm glad you're enjoying the hobby. Darktable is a great editing software fyi

sic_semper_tyrannis OP , 18 days ago to KDE in Dynamic Wallpaper?

How does dark & light mode change on its own? The Bazzite reference I made was I believe I remembered the background changing depending on the time of day or maybe it had a button to switch the modes in the panel with easy access (can't quite remember). On Kinoite I have the screen set to red light automatically at a certain time but the theme doesn't change to dark with it. Is this a possible feature with Plasma?

Have you tried the "Denoise (profiled)" feature? It applies auto de-noising per your camera model and metadata quite nicely. You can then fine tune it after enabling the feature.

I've been using it for around a year and am really happy with the program.

Adapters lots of times don’t transmit lens data to the camera so you can lose features such as image stabilization, autofocus, aperture adjustments, and metadata. Though I believe MD lenses are manual to begin with.

With that budget I would say get the Canon EOS R100 which is on sale on B&H for $379 currently and normally $479. Then get the FotodioX Pro lens mount adapter (MD-CRF-P) for $65. Don’t forget a memory card; the SanDisk Extreme Pro SDXC 64GB for $16.

You’re paying $75 total for three rolls of film. If you take photos a lot then buying a cheap modern mirrorless camera (DSLRs are dated) will definitely be cheaper.

Two great free photo editing software’s are Darktable (editor and photo manager) and PhotoGIMP (a patched version of GIMP to make the UI similar to Photoshop). Bruce Williams on YouTube makes great tutorials for learning how to use Darktable.

Since you are primarily taking photos of your kids I suggest saving some money for a cheap hotshoe flash. It’ll really benefit photos of people.
