take 3 images, edit in darktable as monochrome, export all to tifs, gnu imp import all 3 as layers, color > compose using the layers as RGB, badaboom. an image where everything still is monochrome and motion shows up as color.
i took the 3 images using the pentax q's interval shooting mode at 1 second intervals so it would be perfectly still between shots. unfortunately it can only clear the buffer fast enough to take 4 images at that speed before giving up > . >
god i wish i wasnt so hardware limited.
on a nicer camera one could do a burst shot and get some very neat motion across the frames. you could go up to 6 frames if you color the extra 3 as CMY, could do 9 if you let every third be pure luminance. lots to work with depending on the kind of motion you want to capture and how busy you want it to be
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)
