picked up an old sigma wide "macro" (1:3) but. its aperture seems to be chosen randomly some of time. turns out this was a known issue on early models and sigma would repair them. this lens is from 2000 and looks basically untouched, so it's probably one of the faulty ones that never got turned in for the fix. i'll try calling sigma tomorrow and see if they'll do the fix on a 20+ year old lens lol. I doubt it but hey it might save me from returning it x . x

update: i returned it just fine 👍

anyway, subject is the same assassin bug on the same plant from last time, but no crop! wowee! BUG!

and that finishes what we started back in october. there's various other photoshoots i've been avoiding touching but I think I'm ready to get em done now.

coming back to this shoot with a better idea of how to edit it

redgraph can really be foul huh

without a prominent red in the scene getting the balance right between the two shots is very vibes

what is a redgraph? it's one photo taken with a red filter, one with no filter, then the difference between the two becomes the green and blue layers and the red one is the red layer. then a little bit more editing and voila, it's horrifying! for extra fun i took a buncha redgraphs without a tripod so everything has that anaglyph 3d eyesore to it!

its like a trichrome without the tri part?? it's a less-involved and more loose version of a thing I did nearly a year ago: https://streak.club/p/56991/trichrome-by-999999999

image #3 with bouba has some masking stuff going on to bring out midgrey detail in the environment but still keep her fur contrasty black and white im proud of the result
