found an actual tripod and had fun with it in the garden!
using a tripod is fun actually! at least for small things.
speaking of, macro shooting is not fun on a non-close-focusing lens x . x
setting minimum focus distance then moving the whole tripod back and forth, don't recommend! (i guess you do this during Real Macro too, but there you have the wiggle room to focus out to like 1:2-1:4 magnification and still have a Pretty Big small subject).
2nd shot is very busy and i should've stopped the aperture down even more than just f8 but i'm still pretty happy with it.
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)
