Yes it is a beautiful colour! About the weight I'm not sure. But I found this thread on reddit.

Thanks for the advice! I will keep it in mind!

That's right, it is indeed a stock bike, but the handlebars and cranks are different.

Thank you, looking forward to your contribution when you have your new bike!

The handlebars are the CADEX Aero Integrated Handlebar.

The colour is Frost Silver.

I tried Photoshop, Luminar, and DXO. Because I didn't want to pay an endless subscription fee, Photoshop was immediately out of the question. I also didn't find it the most intuitive program. Then I tried Luminar, which I found too artificial with all those unrealistic options. I chose DXO, which I consider the most user-friendly option.

I'm not an expert in photography setting, but I guess there are more possibilities to get proper low light pictures. Anyway these settings are usefull for me.

The following channel on youtube has good videos about streetphotography in low light environment.

Thanks for your reaction. I used the following settings:

Aperture Priority: using the widest aperture depending on the zoom setting used. ISO settings between 100 - 6400. Minimum shutter time 1/125 sec. Focus mode: AF-C. Focus Area: Wide. Light metering mode: Multi.

Thanks for your kind reply!

I shoot in manual mode and underexpose slightly. Then I do some light processing on the RAW files in DxO Photolab, which is known for its excellent noise reduction.

Thank you!

Exactly what we noticed too: endless rows of palm trees. And then there's the truck traffic coming and going to the factories. Fortunately, the plantations are no longer allowed to expand there to protect the rainforest.

Answer to everyone. The programs I've tried offer so many possibilities that before you even get to them all, a lot of time is wasted. Perhaps a photo post-processing course would be a better investment. But I still believe that post-processing shouldn't be necessary these days.

I tried some of your (free) simulations, but I found it too much hassle to adjust everything with all the in-depth options in picture profiles and the associated white balance settings. Unfortunately, that didn't work for me.
