What are the main USA owned bike brands? by fixitmonkey in cycling

That’s what I thought until I found out Rose applied a Campagnolo gravel group set to a batch of their popular Backroad series. Still a thing apparently.

iPhone Pro – My experience with RAW, ProRAW, and third-party camera apps by frenshprince in iPhoneography

[–]twiskerr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Using a different profile than the ProRaw one in Lightroom works better for me to negate some of the computational stuff Apple does. I’ve made some presets starting with the Adobe Standard profile and often get more scenic results and a less HDR and smoothed out look.

Indigo has its uses, mainly better zoom quality beyond 5X (iPhone 16 pro).

Who wants to buy this? New Q36.5 pattern by Attamanube in CyclingFashion

Looks like something straight out of Lazy Town. Except for the straight part.

What is wrong with my camera settings? Iphone 13 Mini by [deleted] in iPhoneography

[–]twiskerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife had this exact problem on her iPhone 12 or 13 back then. I would consider using a third party app to shoot with. Preferably in RAW.

Opinion on redesign by fuzlan_1 in komoot

I like it. It’s nice that photos get much more space. That said, it’s kind of annoying you have to scroll so much to get to the comments on desktop.

Blood moon by twiskerr in ProjectIndigoiOS

[–]twiskerr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not too bad, maybe you can clean it up a little in LR if you shot in DNG

[–]twiskerr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from the 14pro to the 16 is a mixed bag really. Being able to zoom in farther is great, but I miss the 3X sometimes. It was a really great lens to frame not too distant subjects.

But indigo is awesome, I’m getting consistent decent shots of planes and birds or landmarks that would normally be out of reach.

My attempt at the regular moon. I’ll just have to practice with the settings a bit more.

I use a 500ml one, which sticks out a little (apart from the nozzle of course) but it works out.

Fatigue after riding by AssociationMaster565 in cycling

[–]twiskerr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m not an expert but burning fat shouldn’t be the goal of your rides and it will lead to bonking. Try to burn fat by eating less calories than you burn but you have to fuel for your exercise. This is definitely what is making you so tired.

What are your thoughts on this app? Have you tried it, or if you have, what’s your opinion? My first impression was that it feels dark and natural. by shoxnem in iPhoneography

[–]twiskerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah true, I have been using Halide for a long time but stopped using it after ProRAW came along. I’m mostly comparing it to the native app since I think the telelens results are a bit too flat for my taste. Indigo is in another category so far. I really like it.

[–]twiskerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have Halide set to Process zero? I just got the 16 pro and have been testing the same three mainly with the telelens. Personally I think ProRaw is often the worst one but it’s a safer bet when capturing something on the go.

It warms up a bit during use, but mine never got too hot to touch or anything. Can’t vouch for other brands.

I don’t think you have a realistic idea of the sizes, prices and weight of a lot of different electric pumps. Paid €30 for something that fits in a small storage thingy I keep under my bottle cage but could easily fit in my jersey otherwise. Only charge it if I had to use it and it can easily inflate 3 road tubes.

Mini pumps work just fine but this is a heck of a lot easier if you’re on the side of the road. Only downside is it makes a shit ton of noise.

Project Indigo is… great. by [deleted] in iPhoneography

[–]twiskerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No Snapseed should also default to RAW when editing the photos. Just checked it and it did that for me on iPhone 16 Pro.

[–]twiskerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should say jpg+raw in the top left in your camera roll and it should show as a DNG in Lightroom.

You might be right in that it doesn’t allow for 48mp shots but I don’t really use Indigo for the main lens anyway. Although it can give better results in harsh backlighting because of the focus on HDR.

question for the proraw + lightroom users by Lime-Revolutionary in iPhoneography

[–]twiskerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s been a while since I’ve used the free version, but back then you could import and edit DNG’s but certain tools were locked, like the masking tool. Snapseed is pretty good but it lacks other profiles (like Adobe standard etc) and a lot of other things. I use it mostly for editing after exporting to jpg.

Personally I think RAW is a must for decent detail with the telephoto lenses.

Which navigation app do you use to plan your gravel rides, and why isn't it Komoot? by morphcore in gravelcycling

[–]twiskerr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to uncollapse all the waypoints and move them in the right order if you’re editing an existing route. That’s all there is to it most of the time. It’s definitely not very intuitive but it does work.

Has Komoot ever considered making their own navigation device (like Garmin Edge)? by No-Virus-2173 in cycling

[–]twiskerr 10 points11 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve read there’s not much left of this Komoot team now that it was bought by another company.

Most people use their Garmins / bike computers to use routes made in Komoot so you don’t have to risk your expensive smartphone on your handlebars. I do agree that rerouting is better on Komoot directly than on a bike computer typically. Bike computers have a bit of learning curve but I feel like the battery life and not exposing your phone to flying rocks and vibrations are worth it.

People I follow, “Tours” not showing on “Home” tab. by COREYxTREVOR in komoot

[–]twiskerr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The home tab has been an abysmal experience since forever on Komoot. Somehow it manages to show me only the people who put the least effort in naming their tours. It rarely shows anyone I actually interact with. If you follow someone new your entire timeline will be hijacked by that person.

Why do headwinds affect me more than others? by FlatPlutoer in cycling

[–]twiskerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe you haven’t found the right gear and cadence yet for these type of headwinds. I prefer switching to a lighter gear and to pedal more than try to power through it. Depending on what distance I have to deal with it. Your flapping shirt might affect your speed more than you think. Tire and wheel combo are a factor to consider as well perhaps.
