This is frow way back, but the picture speaks to me for reasons I'm unable to explain. Just love it.

I'm getting back into photography after a long hiatus, got a x100v and it just hit all the right spots.

I just got a couple of Lightpix Q20II flashes, which are these handy cheap little manual flashes that detach from the transmitter in my hot shoe to become wirelessly triggered. Here's one of my favorite model:

Don't be alarmed, molotovs are super effective, try to sidestep left and keep close so you can interrupt her stupid healing move.

Dunno if this fits the thread, but I've been experimenting with slit scan and just have to post my results somewhere :shrug:

The source is this video of a tiny rubber hand holding a Kinder egg racoon toy (just wanted to mix textures) hanging from a string and rotating.

I flipped it and wrote a processing script to generate a video where each subsequent row of pixels is delayed by one frame from the previous. What I posted was a still from that video. I learned to code to do that, so maybe it isn't so much low effort, but I'm at the experiment stage still so this seemed like the chill place to post.

I also wrote another script which switches the x coordinate with time, and which gives really interesting results but I have to get some appropriate not-my-makeshift-desktop-studio source footage to make it shine. I'll probably make a thread when I have something cool to show. Here's a taste of it from the same source footage as above (but rotated 90 degrees):

Though it gives wildly different otherworldly results depending on the type, speed and quantity of motion in the source footage.

I like that. Do more of these with other real world combined objects.

Eh, that's kinda been done to death, mostly with flowers, what with their shapes and colors. Just google slit scan flower and you'll see tons of that. I'm trying to do other stuff with the effect now.

This is loving great, I would never have dreamed of something like this and I want to do it too!

And now you can! I don't wanna poo poo up this thread anymore because now I'm making an effort.

Slit scan thread, with code, is thataway:

One of my first jobs was in a photo shop, so I was exposed to a lot of these old-guard mainly event photographers who poisoned my mind with their lovely ideas about what good photography is, e.g. if you have one pixel overexposed THE PHOTO IS RUINED I TELL YOU

So now, years later, I'm getting into shooting myself and I find that most of my effort goes into unlearning all the bad advice I got over the years. I'm saying this because I was reading tuyop's process and internally going "Jesus christ they are blowing the gently caress out of that camper roof" but then looked at the final photo some time later and was like yeah it has this cool 70's postcard high-saturation film quality to it, cool edit.

My point is just shoot a lot, learn the tech ins and outs of editing of course, but in the end do whatever looks cool to you. It's ultimately about fining your own voice (or eye?).

Unrelated, I went to a cool concert
