Trying out the avif image format.
For a while I’ve been using webp, so I’m finally trying avif instead. For this image the savings with similar compression ratios wasn’t that much. We’ll see moving forward.
Image size is a limiting factor in some cases, for what I’ll upload. I really try to keep images below 100 kilobytes (at least before adding the alt text to the exif metadata). I know with modern network speeds that’s nothing, but I like the number. That’s at 50% compression and 1920×1080 size, but I haven’t really experimented much with different options on that.
I like these kinds of line pieces, though I debated about whether to keep the conceit of it being a screen or just leaving it without the sun and water and sky. They add something, so I left them in.
