study

attempt at mimicking the overly cheap aspect of some early y2k digicams, from a picture i took with my Z30 (24 megapixel mirrorless)

the steps

  • disabled white balance
  • marginaly adjusted some colors
  • 1 megapixel 3:2 ratio (1226x816), downscaled nearest-neighbor to preserve noise
  • dithered to 256 colors (optimum palette), positioned ditering [note: web palette looked like absolute trash]

this is not the first time i downscaled an image for noise

ideas to make it more interesting:

  • crop to lose pixels
  • increase noise in post by reducing precision
  • scale down more heavily, to half a megapixel or even less
  • use a pentax q raw (tastier noise, probably less "authentic" (i don't care))

@999999999 extreme cropping should work yeaaah, don't know why i didn't think bout that in the first place. as a perk, this should completely get rid of distortion since most lenses are perfect in the center

i like the result of ur experiment here!

random thoughts:

ive thought about experimenting with extreme cropping for emulating digicam looks. like, say, take a full frame image then crop it down to whatever size a say 1/2.3" sensor wouldve taken with that lens, giving u the resolution and focal length multi. of the smaller sensor. u probably also want to shoot with as tight of an aperture as u can manage cuz those lil sensors have such crazy deep depth of field. plus the longer shutter times youd need to compensate would be more accurate
i think doing a photo outing and trying to shoot for this kind of processing could be a fun challenge

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

i went outside (part three)

to say nothing

honesty in shapes of yellow

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
