I just got back from a camping trip, my first real outing with my new Contax 21mm lens, and I managed to nab a wonderful photo.
It was a horribly hot and humid trip, what with hiking in the clouds, but to add insult to injury I got this shot a few hundred feet from the car at the very end of the trip.
I took the shot at ISO 400 just in case of hand shake, because lighting conditions were changing rapidly and I wanted to make absolutely sure that every shot would be sharp enough.
I did my editing with Filmulator: CA correction on, highlight recovery 3, 100 drama, 0.2867 white point, and 179 shadows, a fairly normal (if slightly heavy-handed, to compensate for the highlight recovery reducing the values) processing.
@CarVac the colors, mood and depth are lovely! Good job processing. And saying that makes me want to try my own hand at developing it - do you have a raw image you could share? If not that exact one then perhaps one of the same scene but a worse composition?
Gorgeous picture!! Merci @CarVac for allowing us access to the raw.
In some occasions the raw itself it is so outrageously beautiful that I feel like doing nothing. Yet, paraphrasing master Morgan

So pressed a 32b slippery squid with Raw Photo Processor and then mixed it with a couple homebrew LUTios. Case anyone is collecting garbage, I exported the resulting mixed LUT , the name is simple jorgito-musg3-sepiante is a son of Mark-41-musg3 and mario-sepiante-v2, a modern and fucking dysfunctional 3 dudes family =)
Not sure how this’ll play, worked on my uncalibrated tablet. I wanted to make it light and airy, so I avoided pulling down the shadows at the expense of lower contrast.
@CarVac Thanks for sharing: I like the result! I don’t think I will be able to top it . I am also curious as to why there is this interesting suffix _uvnVyWP attached to your filename.
I have two Canon cameras with the same filename scheme. To prevent filename collisions from the cameras producing the same filenames on the same day, I have Filmulator append a base 62 portion of a hash of the file contents when importing to ensure that this never happens.
It wasn’t necessary on this trip since I only brought one camera, but I leave it on just in case.
Worth framing! First increased the fogginess using RT and then selectively sharpened the foreground rock in GIMP. IMG_3370_uvnVyWP.jpg.out.pp3 (11.8 KB)
