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
i erased the source file by mistake... this scan will have to live as a screenshot for the rest of times, eh
experiment, made with two 995 files. very unhappy with the result, interesting draft i guess

oh no i forgot–
cheat! fast!
the void is purposeful, ,i wish
the classics never die
accumulated some backlog, getting back in the move! (edit of a middling picture) i've enough for, like, a week
i worry it might never come through
nerdy composition shit iykyk
going near paris for a few days at the end of the week, will take a couple cams w me, will develop some of the raws when i get back. i'm on the edge of taking the sigma dp1 merrill, but i want to do less b&w so idk. i miss using my dlsrs outside too, but i feel awkward with big cameras in public

vivants
first smear effect in a long time
pencil on canvas, idk, i'm tired
picture took half as long as the drawing itself
these raws are weeeeeird to work with, very green highlights and color shifts on the sides, but still holy shit they look good even pushed
in spite of colors
one of the test pictures i did with a sigma dp1 merrill. the raws look amazing, i'm blown away. i didn't expect the sensor technology to make such a big difference. zoom in on this picture, the details are insane for a 15 megapixels sensor. color looks great too, but i think this camera truly shines in b&w
400 iso, ~0.6s exposure, i can't remember the aperture
je continue de douter du sens de l'art, peut-estre a tort, surement a raison, il le faut
meh
