did one of those bokeh down a corridor type shots, its kinda not a whole lot of anything here so i just fucked around and blasted the colors.
shot with the nikkor-p 105mm f/2.5, awesome lens
i think to get the effect i was going for better id need more stuff further back to be bright, and i should be crouched down close to the ground so that i can focus closer and get more bokeh (i was focused to a decent number of feet ahead of me cuz when standing up at closest focus, nothing in the shot is in focus at all and i wanted just thin plane of focus at the front)
something compels me to point the camera at the sky even without color, and every time i actually get to editing them i go "ehh whyyy". we know why, the sky is beautiful. but its hard to capture.
i think i still prefer doing tonecurves in rawtherapee then local contrast in darktable over agx :p #mymethod (theyre pretty similar in end result but my way just feels more predictable and consistent. using rawtherapee to create the shape of the curve then exposure tool works like the pivot and the local contrast stretching finetunes the curve and lets me choose whether i want a grayer more detailed image or a more smooth and high contrasty image which is like the black point white point settings i think but just. wayy more intuitive imo)

this combination of "blur" & color choice gives me strong impressionism vibes, this feels comforting to look at
