loaded question. rhetorical question?
im just pointing the camera at things and taking a picture pshh.
hey wait a minute thats what i do anyways?
well at least with the qlomo i'm not editing anything.
but is it the editing that makes it Art? that doesn't seem right.
and anyway, when i see others' lomo/lofi type shots, i do usually think That's Art.
is it that i've just been snapping my daily life more rather than Going Out for Photos?
well what makes that subject matter any less valid?
and when I Go Out for Photos that. too. is My Life, is it not? are not all my photos "snapshots" in the sense that there is the unspoken message "i was here!"?
ahhhhh ahh ah ah ah h hm.
I have no conclusion or anything but I will say that the qlomo series feels "Like Cheating" but I don't really think that's a fair feeling.
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)
