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.
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)
