The above photo is the .jpg file straight out of the camera, but that isn’t really what the scene looked like in person. For the more accurate photograph some processing of the RAW file was required.

The below image is after a couple minutes of processing with Photoshop and Topaz AI DeNoise.

If you click on the images to get to their full sizes you’ll be able to see the differences better.

Death Angel @ 2017 Gefle Metal Festival

I was quite happy to hear that Death Angel was added to the 2020 MetalDays Festival a few days ago. On that day, the above photo turned up as my random, desktop background image, and I smiled. Then I looked closer and noticed an “Easter egg” somewhat hidden in the photograph. Do you see it?
