q + 06
i'm actually really proud of these. none of these are cropped, and have very basic tone edits and light sharpening. f/5.6 on 1&2, f/2.8 on 3.
in #1, the lines lead your eye toward the radio tower but what I think really hits here is the partial framing of the power lines. something about not showing the whole form on the objects that are in focus, up front, and largest does something.
#2 has missed focus? something is off about its sharpness but thats really my only complaint. the lines on all sorts of different levels of depth and angles and textures throw your eye all around the place, and settle on the intense form of the power transformer thing. the bird is at the center of it all but is secondary, it contrasts the transformer more than it exists as its own form.
#3 shows the softness of the 06 lens wide open: zoomed in the grass is not as defined as i'd like it to be but again, this is a minor complaint. the 3 distinct layers. grass, a simulacra of nature, swallowing pricey town homes which have swallowed the true nature (if you can call any nature here "true" at this point) around them, pooling up and rising into the void above.
this camera has me really really really wanting to take pictures of people. its so nice having a camera thats actually fast enough to take portraits b4 my subjects move or lose their poses etc. ive taken many more than these but these are anonymous enough
2nd image taken at a whopping 12800 ISO then raised 2 stops. theres a visible structured noise but zoomed out it looks p clean
cloudy day,
snap out the car window and snap of bouba.
split toning is kinda fun if a little freaky. makes her eyes look wrong (also minor posterization like effects going on? hm).
much to learn for post processing these shots. the K3iiiM captures so many tones it really feels like a challenge deciding how to compress it down to a jpeg.

experiment in un- or de- composing a scene. an idea i dreamed up or at least thought about while falling asleep. take a busy scene and then progressively break it down into smaller subcompositions and re-order them in some new fashion.
i think the way i ordered and bordered these is totally meh but i got lazy lol. i think all the little subcompositions i cut are pleasing, though, so still happy with this as an experiment / proof of concept
just putting these few here, i've edited a few more than this today. decent bit more to edit. also gonna try these as b&w, some work better than others like that.
not much movement in the scene, turned out less interesting than i hoped when i took the pics
decided to take pictures of things in my childhood home while I'm housesitting. unsurprisingly the project got very emotional very quickly. there probably won't be text on these but i wanted to try it here
borrowing my brothers old nikon d3200. using it with my Arsat H 50mm f/2. the camera can't meter through it, the focus assist dot has a hard time being accurate in anything but bright light, and the lens itself has sticky aperture blades so it's always firing wide open. went on a walk with this setup, it's very nicely compact. took pictures with exposure determined by vibe and these are the best results. it's a novel set of limitations to work with, different from how the digicams limit me.
oh yeah also, it has 24mpx resolution? which is way higher than anything i've used before o . O, 50% more than the Df had. It almost feels like too many pixels but my computer handles it just fine, only slightly slower than the 16mpx i'm used to, and it gives me more room to work with for cropping so it's more useful than not.
bouba was rolling around on the floor and despite all the movement i got these fairly clear shots. the lx3 looks quite good even at iso 400, (b&w helps), and at this close a focus distance u actually get some nice subject/background separation. tiny sensor can look dang good if ur capturing a tiny subject
art day
dont sweat it just take the picture while u run circles
light shadow contrast hand. honestly a very safe edit. i'll get there

That softness on the second one makes it feel almost like a painting. And the grass in the bottom one makes me think of wind, or of miniature terrain.
