new v cheap lens! and it works (with a quirk) this time! the sigma af super wide II. 24mm is fun on aps-c.
the quirk is that the lens communicates its aperture as one stop higher than it's actually set to so you have to avoid dialing the aperture to "wide open" (2.8) if controlling it via the camera or then it glitches, and you're always one stop wider than you set to (need to keep it in mind and exposure comp -1 stop). guess this means that it only stops down to f/16 and not f/22 (unless set manually with the aperture ring), but That's Really Not An Issue To Me.
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)
