I photographed a rave with a full manual (including focus) setup. My keeper rate was uhhh........... quite small.
trying out some blend of local contrast edits and agx anddd its overcooking the images a bit, but i think maybe i can work with it. i think if i can tame it agx could be a quicker way to slap some S curving on my images before doing local contrast detail work instead of using rawtherapee for curving
oh and yeah, there are shooting ranges in malls in america. because apparently everyone here fantasizes about firing off guns in the mall and needs an outlet to do so.. safely. i guess. (first one is a lightgun sorta deal and the second one is an airsoft range so, no gunpowder, but still uh. still a bit weird.)
it hurts
i know how horrible it feels to want to be seen so i carry a camera and shoot this feeling out of others? and masturbate with it too?
also what the fucccck i forgot i had found my favorite hat in march after having lost it for months... then it disappeared shortly after once the housing panic started. god damn........
also also fuck i used to dress a lot more fun. and go out more. ugh. it's too hot and non air conditioned in here for me to think anything like that though. i'm barely more than a corpse right now. it's all so heavy. so so sos os so so os so heavy. there's still so much to do. fuck.

fun camera
i felt the individual balloon photo was too busy so why not make it worse
view of it in darktable before export second
playin around with darktables filmic rgb again. its soooo finicky its almost an intuitive way to do S curving but then on some photos its just kinda a nightmare of tweaking numbers hoping for something good.

@(: I did end up "discovering" this for myself over the night, ended up basically zone focusing and raising ISO to shoot at like f5.6, by the end of it I realized I was kinda just canceling out any advantage the full frame sensor was giving me in the low light :P so all the shots that were acceptably in focus also have little to no subject background separation oopsie (i did take a thousand images though, so even with a low keeper rate the # of keepers is absolutely okay for what I was doing /shrug)
a classic street photography technique was to preset the focus at a fixed distance (say, focus at 5 meters with a decent depth of field) in order to take pictures very quickly without focusing. idk if that would even work in the context you were in, sharing for the curiosity factor
(this picture is neat too)
