may and june

they have a big printer there

took a lot of tweaking to keep detail in their dress while getting tones where i wanted

also hi to all the new daily photo clubbers welcome welcome welcome to the super secret cool social platform that is this streak. even if u dont post every day theres always stuff to see c:

I honestly have no idea what this is a photo of or why there is an intense blue glow in the air, taken march 2024.

3 monochrome shots, one filtered red, one filtered yellow, one unfiltered
edited in rawtherapee then loaded into gnu imp. subtracted red shot from yellow shot to produce a psuedo green image, then subtracted the red and pseudo green from the unfiltered to produce a psuedo blue image, then composed the three as RGB. phone photo of the scene is attached. I moved my camera slightly and fucked up the focus when unscrewing a filter so it ain't perfect but it is surprising how "accurate" the colors came out.

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

i thought i uploaded these here yesterday but instead i shared them everywhere else lol

when i originally took these i didn't have as quick a workflow for this camera as i have now so i got intimidated and didn't touch this shoot

trying to be intentional about motion blur, been getting some nice results

and a little tightrope biker

edited for BON:er issue 1

should've stopped the aperture up a lot more. dang old minimum focus distance shots

first one i did some weird shit with the editing i think its a bit uh fried for my taste maybe? but new thing. did high contrast then lots of dynamic range compression on top

culling the collection, and editing & stitching some of them that i meant to make gifs of and never did

my body aches my voice is blown out heres one of the coolest pictures i got.

i can now confirm that the pentax k3 along with a pancake lens makes for a beast that can survive mosh pits. got liquid spilled on it, got knocked down while holding it, all is well. yes. i am crazy. but i go where few photographers dare to go. because taking the photos is secondary to being there. cuz i always have a camera on me anyway. blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah yeah.

ehh not the happiest with the result but its something

3 yellow filters stacked, doesn't quiiiite darken the sky more than foliage, but it does get close! this is also an evening sky so a little more turquoise than a deep blue. i guess my dream for this look would be like. an industrial machine-vision longpass filter that blocks nearly all blue light. still neat though

i really bungled the metering on these shots but leaning into it and making them rly high contrast salvages it nicely
