brought to you by the world's worst very large format camera
something about my setup creates wicked vignetting with a long horizontal line of good exposure (im guessing the shape is due to the scanning head being a line)
the lens being adapted is the lens from my overhead projector. i learned a nice bit about optics putting it all together based on intuition, took a few hours of fiddling to get to this current setup
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.

oh wow, that's stunning. very beautiful rendering, this is the largest proper large sensor picture i've seen in a while
adjusting levels in gimp, we can see than the lenses actually let much more details come through & the result is mesmerizing

edit: i assume that's what you mentioned as vignetting, but i didn't expect quite as much coverage
