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
trying out some blend of local contrast edits and agx anddd its overcooking the images a bit, but i think maybe i can work with it. i think if i can tame it agx could be a quicker way to slap some S curving on my images before doing local contrast detail work instead of using rawtherapee for curving
oh and yeah, there are shooting ranges in malls in america. because apparently everyone here fantasizes about firing off guns in the mall and needs an outlet to do so.. safely. i guess. (first one is a lightgun sorta deal and the second one is an airsoft range so, no gunpowder, but still uh. still a bit weird.)
it hurts
i know how horrible it feels to want to be seen so i carry a camera and shoot this feeling out of others? and masturbate with it too?
also what the fucccck i forgot i had found my favorite hat in march after having lost it for months... then it disappeared shortly after once the housing panic started. god damn........
also also fuck i used to dress a lot more fun. and go out more. ugh. it's too hot and non air conditioned in here for me to think anything like that though. i'm barely more than a corpse right now. it's all so heavy. so so sos os so so os so heavy. there's still so much to do. fuck.

fun camera
i felt the individual balloon photo was too busy so why not make it worse
view of it in darktable before export second
playin around with darktables filmic rgb again. its soooo finicky its almost an intuitive way to do S curving but then on some photos its just kinda a nightmare of tweaking numbers hoping for something good.

@(: 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
