i usually don't make writeups for my pictures, but i figured i might try for the first time today since this was a straightforward one to make (relative to my workflow)
since i'm noticing a growing pattern in my street composition lately, i want to get back a bit into macro photography and detail processing for a bit
i took this picture of my (fairly shitty) balcony's guardrail, and removed compositional distractions by cropping it in the rare triple square ratio
i worked on the colors a fair bit, to make the contrast more visceral, making it closer to how i feel looking at it than how it "should look". i then applied a slight noise filter on the green channel only to create some texture, then destroyed it with a skin correction algorithm to make it look even more "fake" (i tend to contradict myself while editing)
in the end, i don't think it's a very good picture but it was an interesting experiment
if you read so far, thanks ahah
using curves to "burn" the parts of the sensor that received the most light
simulâcre d'intention
first picture taken with my first c-mount lenses (by accident?)
i don't think i'll use it much outside due to how eye catching the setup is, however i love being able to see the entire image projected by the lenses w/o being cropped into a stupid rectangle. circle photography be poppin
started editing this day after taking my melatonin, racing against the clock
landscaper
diversion
downward composition
dont overthink it

this is a square composition
compositing experiment. different exposure for each color channel, same subject. didn't do anything with the raws, neutral export. take this as an idea not a result
a a
the truth
spent much of my energy painting + i'm kinda "out" of interesting raws. i'll go to the museum wednesday and hopefully snap some interesting compositions on the way
worst case, i'll go for a walk with the Q, there's always something
a tad uninspired, but on time (and my first use of the rgb curves in rawtherapee, somehow)
this is cheating and i don't care
looks like an oozy wound! cool process
