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.

and a little tightrope biker

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

normal shot.

normal shot layered with back focused shot with depth of field increased to cover everything but the subject, and a minimum focus distance shot with minimum depth of field.

same as above but "soft light" layered.

same but composed as RGB.

the 43mm f1.9 has quite a lot of focus breathing so its not too good for this effect, still pretty neat though

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

+a shot raised 9 stops in post

i could probably do an entire month of just editing the backlog. ended up focusing todays no-sleep energy on a newsletter my friends and i are starting so backlog it is.

taking less photos and keeping even fewer. these 3 are the okayest out of 31 i took on a couple mile walk. much much much to learn. DC is a hard city to photograph i feel.

just putting these few here, i've edited a few more than this today. decent bit more to edit. also gonna try these as b&w, some work better than others like that.

similar to the last one but 3 completely separate images composed as HSV layers. looooots of different ways to compose.

i think i may be done capturing color

all the tinkering has paid off, i've got xsane working to control the scanner!

silly

i dont care anymore
