school zone, do not park, private barn

I wasn't sure how I was feeling about this between time of shot and finishing but now I kinda like it

reverse tone work ?

shots from the car with the 200mm

no crop this time

i still cant tell if i feel like the artifacts from cooking images this hard are "worth it" or if its too blergh for me. but dang check the contrast

thoroughly cooked

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

cloudy day,

snap out the car window and snap of bouba.

split toning is kinda fun if a little freaky. makes her eyes look wrong (also minor posterization like effects going on? hm).
much to learn for post processing these shots. the K3iiiM captures so many tones it really feels like a challenge deciding how to compress it down to a jpeg.

from january, on borrowed dslr, finally edited

edit image in darktable (1)
export as 16 bit greyscale tif, import to gimp, image > mode > rgb
create new image, fill it with gradients including greyscale black to white, go to the palette menu, import palette from that, sort palette
go back to imported image, select newly created palette, colors > map > palette map
your greyscale image now has colors inserted into it based on an algorithm i dont fully undesrtand (2, 3).

came across this tool in my quest for introducing false color to a greyscale image to cover grey tones lost in the export to 8bit jpg from higher bit depth raws. this doesn't end up doing that, but it looks pretty cool
