The sun shining through trees is so beautiful to me and I have to stop myself from taking photos of it every time ad nauseam.
It was nice to do HDR live streaming just to prove to myself I could do it, though I wish I had better discipline on lighting and set design to make my own scenes worth while for it. At least it helped me learn a lot about using FFmpeg and GStreamer with genlocked sources in the process.
Glad Adobe are still working on this. Their recent switch to ACEScct in Premiere was nice, but the controls & tooling still wasn't there when my editing team at work tested it. It's tough for editorial departments to deal with scene-referred workflows, but will become increasingly common.
Digital Production - The VFX Magazine@digitalproduction.bsky.social · 6mo agoPremiere just got a new Color mode. Fewer panels, more scopes, and a timeline-first grading workflow.
Friend asking me about film negative scanning has me questioning where the conversion to a colorimetric human observer takes place in DI? For digital sensors it's a linear transform to satisfy Luther Condition, but film is quite non-linear & the scanner's spectral behavior is an additional layer. 🤔
I debate making another bsky account mainly for higher volume reposting of art & lustful/sexual images. I'd feel bad compartmentalizing, but it would mainly be for density than anything else, considering my increasing anxiety over treating my online profiles as slower and more tasteful portfolios.
While I'm not making it to NAB this year, I tremendously enjoyed going last year. It's something I had wanted to do since I was a child, and certainly a joyful part of my career I'll never forget. <3
I've had fun experimenting with nicer picture formation algorithms (like OpenDRT), but it's been over a year since I've caught up on editing / publishing any of my photography. Perhaps I can fix that soonish.
Atomos buying Flanders was certainly not on my bingo card.
last pic I took of my flanders nailing D65 before I sold it 🫡
Looking forward to the next few months :3 - New grading display = more fun photo edits - Lots of gentle cuddles and sex from visiting friends - Warm & muggy weather (my favorite) <3 - Leaves on trees for me to take pictures of - Late night walks - Re-arranging my desk - Lots of tea
Protip: Avoid judging the colors of displays in photos or side by side review videos. Camera sensors are (intentionally) no-where close to a CIE 1931 observer. They do not select for narrow band sources the way your eyes do at all, and are optimized for other purposes (noise, channel separation).
At MikroTik every time a new employee gets hired, the team celebrates by adding another way to do VLANs in RouterOS.
Hint of warm weather was brief, but I think I’ll do some spring cleaning over the weekend to feel better about summer being on the way.
The beauty and comfort of infrastructure mixed with trees. 💚
