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

More submissions by (: for Daily Photo Club

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

mindless spree edits, no crop

le résistant

very pretty yellow

i don't have good raws to work on & i'm very tired from drawing, here's another unedited phone picture (same session as yesterday's, i know i know). i guess that's kinda cheese. oh well

no-edit phone pic 'cause i'm late (discovered than the sensor was 3:4 all that long)

i like the predominant dark area bottom right

i don't like this one but i've a movie to watch and i'm prob not gonna reuse that raw

short&simple composition exercise i did while bored. the bigger picture doesn't speak

streak.club bonus: the fractions extracted

i like these lens, build is shit but pics are nice

went through a rough day. i'm scared the sky will stop singing. i didn't feel like cropping this, correcting that. defects are the ground of reality.

another funny sub-composition work, not much else to add (i think i was taking this picture because there was a mouse family under that tree, but i can't be sure if we see them)

still yelling with 'em

will be the first picture on my new "blog", i hope it won't break lol

quick phone photography – it's 3am :(
