I slept for 9 hours, ate, went shopping, had a job interview etc. I estimate I spent maybe 20 minutes for each photo so around 8 hours total, maybe.

Hehe, beast mode. I love it.

That style of approach is how I make my way through school. A project is assigned weeks in advance, I gently caress around doing my own things learning my own stuff out in the field for the entire time until like the night before. Then I freak out with just hours left before it's due and somehow it all comes together in a beautiful fashion. Like all those things I was learning on my own, the places I visited, the thoughts that had been haunting my daily cognition just come together neatly and a theme emerges and I run with it.

You did really great work in short time. Every photo is not only a keeper, but a compelling story and wall-worthy, and that's impressive.

Super cool stuff. Are the numbered descriptions the task prompts or the titles for the photos?

They were the prompts organisers gave for participants every hour. We had to figure out an idea based on them and deliver a photo.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words! I guess sometimes stress enhances performance, as long as the stressful situation doesn’t last for too long. :eng101:

A few recent developments that I liked. Camera is an old, old Leica III, filmstock is kodak colorplus 200. It sat on my desk for over a year after shooting before I dragged myself somewhere to drop it off.

The photo was a terrible, low effort snap while I walked past a parade but I liked the fire and wanted to see what I could do with some cropping later. Two hours passed at home and whoops it turns out I fell down a Photoshop hole. Happens to me once a year and then I shelve it, hah.

I wanted to try to reproduce a look some photographer had been using in 60's. There was an article about her photos in today's magazine.



I realized it is hard. I'd have to make a composition from two photos - a background layer and the subject layer. If I want a good exposure on subject, the background will be even and flat. If in single exposure I modify the amount of light reaching the background, also the subject gets less light...

E: another:

Tested the DCI-P3 Gainmap JPG HDR 8bit whatever option in lightroom 13..



Edited the whole set as HDR. It has a legacy fallback mode with SDR displays. That makes highlights not look ideal in the fallback mode, but not too bad either.

Yes, you're getting some great intentional camera movement shots there. It always feels like painting more than photographing.

Nice! Did you try any moodier shots with the exposure metered more in according to the pinball machines' brightness, by any chance?

E: I mean something like this. Sorry for touching your photos and giving unprompted ideas like this. I don't know you personally so doing this was probably a bad idea. It's just that there was a long edit derail at portrait thread, and I got bad influence from there.

Not a problem at all. I see what you mean, and what's funny is initially I accidentally left my camera in highlight-weighted metering from the last time I used it. After seeing how dark the first few shots came out I switched back to matrix metering. Didn't end up posting any of those first ones though. I was also using a mist filter which decreases the contrast and I'm still getting used to compensating for that in Lightroom. While editing it felt like I was increasing contrast an extreme amount already.

That's something I'll have to keep in mind to try some exposure compensation to not blow out the lights of the machines while still keeping the people and shadows recoverable.

Do you move then hold or hold then move?

In first subject stays still for 4 secs, then moves with the light.

In second, I move the lens up with lens shift during the exposure. I had to stop and get a better grip to continue rotating, so pauses during exposure come from that.

In third, I first swing the camera around, then let it be still for a few seconds at the end of exposure.
