trying out something with darktable, extensively tweaked local contrast tool as basically the only edit.
trying out rawtherapee again, comfy
trying out ART, it's interesting but not sure if i'd want to use it over RT

got some new toys

did one of those bokeh down a corridor type shots, its kinda not a whole lot of anything here so i just fucked around and blasted the colors.

shot with the nikkor-p 105mm f/2.5, awesome lens

i think to get the effect i was going for better id need more stuff further back to be bright, and i should be crouched down close to the ground so that i can focus closer and get more bokeh (i was focused to a decent number of feet ahead of me cuz when standing up at closest focus, nothing in the shot is in focus at all and i wanted just thin plane of focus at the front)

iri informed me that this is whats called bokeh balls and that they have 7 sides due to the 7 aperture blades in the nikon lenses! oh also check out the freak flares in the top, i think its the result of the old lens having no anti-reflective coating?
