photos taken with a hoya red 25A filter.
dramatic skies? yes. but i still need to do a LOTTA contrast editing to actually get it that dark. and in the process foliage gets lost to the darkness too.... a yellow filter would perhaps be perfect, mostly preserve red to green and cut off blue and violet. but yellow filters are quite weak, only like 1-2 stops difference at most. definitely not enough to darken a sky more than the land. but.... what if... hmmmmmm...
wratten #12, #15, or #16. all long-pass filters. meaning they drop light below 500nm, 510nm, 520nm respectively. they're quite weak yes but subtract blue and (almost) only blue... what if . i stacked like 3 of them? maybe 4? i dont think id have to worry about vignetting cuz crop sensor. there would probably be awful internal reflection hell unless the filters were coated. but.... could it lead to... the advent of the analog version of the revered CRUNCH style https://streak.club/p/52899/crunch-by-999999999 https://streak.club/p/53026/we-can-crunch-harder-by-999999999 ???? probably not! but it might look cool!

i really do think im good at "taking photos"

remembering why i was putting off editing the shots from this show, they weren't that great

i have cleared backlog up to image 9X9P2019... out of (as of posting) 4006*. yeah. yeah. YEAH.

*many interim images are things i've already edited, and the majority of photos i take are not keepers

chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga choo choo

can only see these images tagged to edit for so many months before i either gotta just edit or decide its not really worth editing

just put a piece of paper on top of the scanner and boom it fixes the light angle problem. still gotta remove the lights from the scanning head though it washes out the image .. and maybe gotta look into writing custom scanner firmware to actually control exposure cuz once those clouds went away i was just getting pure white captures (oh wait i could just make an aperture for the lens. lollll). this shot turned out nice though
