my recent darling has been the lumix dmc-lx3. very pocketable, great battery life, leica lens from 2008. it kind of just works as promised. ive been pushed more and more into the late 2000s as my ideal age for cameras. the all-digital workflow - which was novel at the time - kind of just works here. anything earlier than this tends to have significant drawbacks, their primary selling point being "its not analog." a step into the future

anothr. yunnan province. factory workers preparing pu'er cookies.

anothr tea one, in a more rural farm - these are cooking ovens they stir raw leafs in as part of pu'er prep. There's a small fire beneath the bowls. When they cook the leaves, they have to constantly stir the batch so it never sits still for too long - done manually. same camera.

took advantage of a deal from best buy that a friend of mine working there got me and got this Canon EOS R100. never really dipped my toes into photography before, so i played around with it last week touring new england with no plans or instructions on anything

this is downtown Brattleboro, Vermont. sorry if it's too obvious that i don't know what "F-stop" means, or how to manually change focus aside from moving the autofocus around, im still very new to this

most cameras have a mode for manual/auto focus. if the lens is detachable, it usually has a ring you can rotate to change the focus point. kit lenses usually drive their own focus through software. i would recommend playing around with manual focus so you learn how to use it. i shoot on auto settings most of the time, so don't worry about not doing it right! you can still take great photos d(-_-)

>>3mqx6phkafl2v
this composition is nice! the colors are pleasant too, i love when greens run a little cool

i've been shooting a ricoh gr3 since spring and it's really changed things for me. it's just so easy to keep around and the lens/sensor combo is wicked good

I haven't gone through all of them but I already have too many to post

>>3mqp7wfu5zk2v
decorating cameras ftw. i leave a cute scrunchy around my lens for color, I wanna get a label maker too :) haven't decided what stickers yet either

>>3mshrn4bb6c2s
this is really yummy. does it use RAWs for processing or does it work with any photo? i wanna check this out

>>3msui5n5js223
naice composition (´¬`)

>>3mrgn4jion527
i love mine too its scary good. i never bring anything else around (unless i specifically want to take something old and compression-y with my digicam)

i realllyyyy want another GR, i gave my GR2 to my ex and i miss it all the time there's just nothing like it

>>3msyfclk44s2q

>>3msyfclk44s2q

It is only a6000 with junk OM lenses from 1980s. This pic iTook last year and it almost looks cg

>>3mtafqvhal22w
can you tell a little more about your process with it? do you have to develop individual photos or do you just setup like a profile/process that you like and then batch process?

>>3mtbqyijan22u
i think you can make looks and apply them to all photos, but i usually do it on a per photo basis, i get better results that way
the base spektrafilm implementation is kind of slow though, if you want something faster i use this: https://github.com/natcelian/spektrafilm.exe
i think it might be a little clauded but what can you do

>>3mtcvxeka4s2i
clauded and yet windows only (~_~;)

>>3mtcx2q5t7f2n
luckily the base research behind it is quite good, i only think its clauded because some (but not all!) of the tooltips read like llm

>>3mtcxhtzh2s2i
the only issue i have with it is the fact that i cant run it 。゚(゚´ω`゚)゚。

>>3mtcvxeka4s2i
will give this a try after work tomorrow :3c thank u for sharing it looks really cool
