Rodinal is my go to developer but I make my own Rodinal out of Panadol. You can go really far down the black and white rabbit hole and make all your own chemicals from scratch and it's good and fun. Hell, if you don't want to commit to buying developer you can make Caffenol out of instant coffee, washing soda and vitamin C.

MFT is really quite capable at bokeh for the sensor size (deliberately weird focus, i was trying out a stack)

 it’s an action shot. I don’t think it’s noteworthy at all but it’s one of her favourite shots from the shoot so I suppose that’s worth something. but it is a photo, and apparently it’s a box ticked off her bucket list, so, ya never know what photos can bring to someone’s life lmao

yeah exactly this time I divide my shots roughly into usable and non usable and then send low res copies of everything usable and she tells me what are her favourites and some are the same but some just aren’t which is interesting from the perspective of the alternative where I narrow them down and maybe miss shots she loves

here is a picture of my son I think it's a nice photo of him. and imo that's some bokeh for real. when you've got a depth of field that thin, you need to nail the eyes with the focus. because his eyes arent on one plane, only the front eye is in focus, but it seems to work. if the focus is off it's very obvious, you can only use this lens if you nail the focus. the camera does the heavy lifting here lol

also did a shoot with a woman who does pin-up that was an experience. never shot with someone who was basically a professional before. she knew all the poses for going for a traditional pinup look, and holy poo poo her attention to detail and she had two dresses that were loaned to her by some online retailer or something, and they give her loads of stuff, and they wanted some photos so I did some and then she posted the picture and credited me and then they posted the picture and credited her but not me, so now I feel like a moron for giving away high quality work lol. but it was good experience, although I took like 500+ pictures and roughly HALF of them are good workable photos. ridiculous levels of choice for trying to work out which photos to focus on. she's happy with them. which is good. it bodes well for the future of my photography. it occurred to me today that I used to have a decent level of concern that I was wasting someone's time, that we'd get out there, I'd fumble around, and end up delivering some fail images.. well what occurred to me today is that I don't have that worry anymore. I am very confident that if you give me half an hour with a person I can get a handful of images they will be happy with and even a couple maybe they really like. went and did another shoot with this person. it was also a trial to see if the sun sets in a particular beach where I live and it does NOT lol. this image is good because the sun raised the blacks for me  I even beeftweeted it up myself. made sure I used every millimeter of the histogram. no blacks left unturned  perhaps this isn’t really interesting or noteworthy but the young woman was real tired after giving some presentation today and having stayed up till 5am preparing, and she really didn’t have the same energy that she had the other night. in the end I got a lot less usable shots, because her face didn’t come to the party. lol. so for future reference when you’re modelling (and lmao just tonight I offered to model for a facebook group of photographers) you have to be on your A game. echinopsis fucked around with this message at 12:43 on Mar 19, 2023 |

beeftweeter I have some good news I've worked out I can compensate for highly raised blacks by increasing the saturation/vibrance carefully the only thing I don't like about raised blacks is that it can feel like I'd added a grey wash to the image, and increasing the colour carefully I can overcome that, and then end up with an image that really hits the heart AND the mind

echinopsis posted:beeftweeter I have some good news that is good news serious suggestion: have you tried playing with the curves? not just luminosity, there's overall rgb chroma and individual r/g/b curves also. it's something i almost never neglect to do because it can honestly be the difference between a good photo and a great one, imo. at first r/g/b individually probably isn't necessary, but luma and overall chroma is usually a must i think

PokeJoe posted:How do I lighten up this George pic in a better way than just using the auto adjust? lighter how? something like this?  (some tweaking on the curves + lower contrast) it really isn't a dark photo per se, it's just that the highlights and shadows are a bit uneven e: from there tweaking the contrast again

hah well there you go. it also looks like little bees  i wouldn't say it was unsuccessful in that case, i had assumed you were just shooting bees again ...which would have been apparently unsuccessful. but they're not bees! so don't worry about it. lol
