something something man ray
something something technicalities
proof of concept
featuring my hand seen thru my arsat n 50mm lens, "mounted" to the scanner via a toilet paper roll i've cut to about the flange focal distance of f mount (the focus was missed but for how small it is in frame it matters little)
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 answered this in a dm, putting this here for anyone else reading) the lens was shot wide open @f/2 and i still had to shine a bright light on my hand to get it to show up so, at least in a dim-but-not-dark room, overexposure is not a worry
oh wow that's incredible, i can see the rayograph inspiration but this is so uniquely digital; i didn't expect this would work at all, scanning with an open lid.. i don't think i've ever seen it. how much did you have to close the lenses for this to work?
