Cracked out the RAW / Pro mode on my phone at last year's show. Close enough to the stage to catch Barry's pick at the end!
This is my favorite shot from the show. Would love any feedback
Pixel 8 Pro
f/1.7, SS 1/950s, ISO 146, 7mm
been sitting on these photos for years, decided to give myself a time limit to edit and also tink out loud as I made my edits and recorded myself. Really interesting self experiment for someone that has never streamed or recorded
I set a time limit of 25 minutes for this. Sometimes I'll spend 4 or 5 minutes on something and other times I'll spend like 4 hours, and you all know how that goes... nothing's ever perfect or finished so why ever share it? So... this was a willpower challenge for me. I did all of my adjustments manually, no presets or shortcuts for tones or any of that.
This is from Granada, Spain at sunrise in late November. Looking at the eastern side of the Alhambra palace. I edited the JPEG instead of the raw because Lightroom's cloud performance with raw has always been crap for me and the delays throw me out of flow. This is one of 5 exposures I took while learning bracketing exposure, so not much wiggle room with the blown out sky.
I can tell from the exposure settings that I've learned a lot about exposure settings lol, I would have made some different choices if I shot this today.
Canon RP, f/9, 58mm - SS 1/60(!!), ISO 50 (!!!)
SO, Having said some of the many caveats, any feedback? I didn't have a specific vibe or goal when i took it or as I edited, i was more trying to.. refine it.
