I've using the the same lab for the past 4 rolls and for some reason, the skins of the people that I shot came out looking so "reddish". While I understand that we're brown but we don't look this red irl.
top left - Kodak Ultramax 400 bottom left - Fuji 200 top right - Fuji Color 200 (different lab) bottom right - Vision3 250D all of 3 use Noritsu HS-1800
so the question is, what's the "problem here? is it because of the film stocks? is it the machine? is it the present the machine use? (idk how the process actually works) is it the chemical? and what should I do from now on? change the lab and the machine? or should I ask them to scan the negative back to me as well so I can add the colors myself (I have no idea how lightroom works but I assume I can download presets for each filmstocks to add the colors right?) THOUGHT?????????
This seems to be a topic which includes more unjustified opinions and shilling than researched facts. Searching the internet mainly brings you just Youtube videos, app ads and R*ddit topics where every other claim log curves in smarthpone videos are perfect and every other claim it's just a gimmick.
Modern smartphone's curves tend to default Rec709 in 8-bit and HLG or PQ in 10-bit modes. My Snoy Xperia 5 II has Rec709/HLG by default and Camera2API reports the curve (I don't know which one) has density of 128 points. Apps like Mcpro24fps, Filmic Pro can output video files with log curves applied and I'm interested how these curves are achtually produced/achieved. Some people say those are just custom curves applied over manufacturer's default curve (which may or may not include reverse tone mapping). And then there are some claims where the manufacturer's curve is replaced with the selected log curve. App devs don't reveal their methods and I can't find any credible research about it.
I want to study good photographers so that I can improve my composition skills, but photobooks are fucking expensive. I know they must be free somewhere online but I haven't had much luck finding the ones I want, ex. picrel. Any advice?
i saw this guy in the shops today looking at cakes, the funny thing about this is that he has been looking and searching for one for an hour straight. so i decided to take a photo of it just to show u guys lol
I was reading about medium formats and I guess this is one of the current offerings on the market.
Obviously what stood out to me right away is that it has no IBIS and no interchangeable lens / stuck on f4(???).
But then, I took a look at the sample images that people have taken with it in low light, and they look fine? they look like something we could get at f2 with a Leica Q, etc.
