it's uh. it's uh. it's.... something
SOMETHING!
that first shot is at f8! others are f1.9. all the 1.9 shots metered at faster than 1/1000 despite being nearly completely dark lol.
the images are more usable than idve thought. sort of. i say sort of because all my software struggles to handle these absurd images.
rawtherapee and darktable both fail to display the image accurately while editing so theres a LOT of guesswork involved. and also the filesizes are absurd cuz all the noise. but if i try scaling down the image. well, it looks very different due to the noise being so prevalent that when the pixels get merged they have a big effect.
digikam doesnt even display an ISO value past 65k when browsing my collection lol.
edit: last image shows a pic at 1:1 zoom for an accurate view while editing. reaaaaal small bit of image to go off of on just 1080p x . x
into the 2400s
show photos are so boring..

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
been a minute since i brought out the Q
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
from sunday
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
endless task
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

@(: alas i am stuck with just 1080p monitors for now, but good point about the zoom, 1:1 does look much more like (a small slice of) the final product (see this posts edit for a screenshot)
at the very least they should be easy to print! in rawtherapee you need to be at 100% scale minimum to see the processing results accurately (and i’d assume its the same in darktable for obvious performance reasons). having a decent 2k or 4k screen helps a lot on pictures >20mpx, but 100% is still a v small portion of the image
