Another try with the mushrooms and Photomania Another forest walk but not so many mushrooms to bring home. Just pictures... This time, I am trying to compare original pictures with Photomania edits in a collage. Photomania filters are marked with a watermark and original has no logo. Photomania can be used as an app or on-line: https://photomania.net/?use-web=true There is more light and sharpness in Photomania version. Although original photo I s more natural. This…

Photomania Grape Another set of edits of a picture with grape. I will post it on a Gurushot.com challenge, once there will be one that fits, to see it it takes reasonable amount of votes. Gurushots voting is anonymous. One votes or get votes from Gurushots members without knowing who is an author of the picture. There are profiles and this is possible to see picture of every Gurushots member but it is not possible to see photographers profile while voting. It is clever…
Mushrooms, photos and filters It is probably eatable mushroom but I never collect these types of fungi - just making photo. Mushroom app tells me this is Macrolepiota procera. Which seems to be true. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrolepiota_procera There are also great photo apps with AI filers or collages. For example: ARTi https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.photo.artboard Deepart effects…
Passive BTC income with Graviex Exchange GIO coin. Passive earning in BTC can be started almost immediately. Holding more than 1000 GIO coins (appr. 0.3 USD) on Graviex exchange can earn daily interest that depend on the exchange turnover. In my computation, this is more than 5% apy but it is not a guarantee. https://graviex.net/signup?ref=619c38d2f9dbbd576a36e3a2 ***This post is not a financial advise but only illustration on how this technology can be tested with no or…
Coprinopsis cinerea in photofilters. There are lot if 🍄 mushroom identification applications. They earn users on possible identification mistakes and advice not to trust apps and not take risk with unknown or wrongly identified fungi. This mushroom looked really cool and I tried to shoot as good as I can. With Photomania filters it looks close to reality. The closest mushroom I found was Coprinopsis Cinerea or Gray Shag. Although these may be diverse and I am not sure if all…
Coprinopsis Picacea in Photomania filters. Another species of Coprinopsis family in October forest is Coprinopsis Picacea. The one I shot yesterday was Coprinopsis Cinerea. And again, mushroom identification with the app can lead to a wrong result. https://read.cash/@Swca.ch/coprinopsis-cinerea-in-photofilters-5cc8a48d This photo is processed with Mirror lab tab and looks quite cool to me. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ilixa.mirror And these images are…

3 months experience with GRC pool on BOINC This is a right time to start with Gridcoin wallet because 5.0 release is here. The installation is not super easy but generally works well.

It is also important to back up files in case there is a need to restore a wallet on another PC. https://gridcoin.us/ There are 3 modes of participation, described on gridcoin.us website:…

This is how watercolor filters of Photomania look like. This sort of art can be well used for decoration. With the cold colours of water…
220, 284 Amicable BOINC & Gridcoin project. **What are Amicable pairs?** 284 can be divided by *1, 2, 4, 71, 142. The sum of these 5 numbers is 220. Also sum* of all 220 divisors is 284. That is why 220 and 284 are called Amicable numbers. And this pair was either discovered or known already by Pythagoras. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amicable_numbers The next Amicable pair is (1184, 1210). How many such pair exists and how to find new Amicable pairs? There is a BOINC…

Gurushots and more Gurushots is a photography game with some additional options to exhibit our photos, maybe even sell or order a print. This game is not necessary to select best professional photos but quality of pictures is good to me and voting makes sense. It gives independent feedback on photos and some tip from gurus (if photo is picked by the challenge organizer who has a status of guru). Edited pictures like in this group are not a good fit but can be used in some…
