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.
and that finishes what we started back in october. there's various other photoshoots i've been avoiding touching but I think I'm ready to get em done now.
coming back to this shoot with a better idea of how to edit it
more year old photos
redgraph can really be foul huh
without a prominent red in the scene getting the balance right between the two shots is very vibes
what is a redgraph? it's one photo taken with a red filter, one with no filter, then the difference between the two becomes the green and blue layers and the red one is the red layer. then a little bit more editing and voila, it's horrifying! for extra fun i took a buncha redgraphs without a tripod so everything has that anaglyph 3d eyesore to it!
its like a trichrome without the tri part?? it's a less-involved and more loose version of a thing I did nearly a year ago: https://streak.club/p/56991/trichrome-by-999999999
image #3 with bouba has some masking stuff going on to bring out midgrey detail in the environment but still keep her fur contrasty black and white im proud of the result

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.
