from december
the colors on this shot were really good, but i feel the monochrome carries more emotion
i like the slight off-center angle and the general balance of shapes, but the top and bottom bother me. In the uncropped shot i get the very bottom of the door frame for a few pixels and it produces a distracting jagged line, however cropping it out now the lines of the door lead your eye out of the frame, and the lines running along the top are in a similar situation, they distractingly converge with the edge of the frame. if i was maybe a foot further back when i took this shot the edges would've been much more manageable.
you know the drill
portrait -> scale pixels -> landscape
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.
todays theme i guess, not all bangers but heyyy it's Cars.
uneasy framing
day and day
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)
