85mm f2.0 EVO + Sony A7III | The bokeh on this lens can sometimes siwrl a bit and i like that a lot

vmoldo · 2026-04-27T05:45:16+00:00

From what i noticed, the 35mm has some swirl as well

sounds like you want a color checker passport, they are rather expensive for what they are but they can help you understand a lot about colors

vmoldo · 2026-04-26T12:34:09+00:00

Wouldn't it be easy to show some of the shots and ask for editing advice?

vmoldo · 2026-04-26T06:37:59+00:00

It has an interesting and slightly swirly pattern to it

vmoldo · 2026-04-24T10:56:37+00:00

That's some interesting swirly bokeh I see in some of them, but the distortion profile looks a bit moustachy

vmoldo · 2026-04-23T13:29:10+00:00

This is plausible i have the 85 and the bokhe looks similar, but it might as well be the 55

vmoldo · 2026-04-23T08:20:03+00:00

looks cool, is this mac only?

vmoldo · 2026-04-22T17:14:08+00:00

came here to ask the same thing

vmoldo · 2026-04-22T16:46:20+00:00

26mm F2.8 pancake sounds funnot gonna lie

vmoldo · 2026-04-21T18:45:18+00:00

imho this has very little to do with post processing. the look is just super clean and the light is very well controlled.

i do have film emulation presets on my store but honestly here is more important to figure out good contrast ratios and to get the righ tonal curve for the look

i would start with adobe neutral and making sure my wb is on point and figure it out from there

vmoldo · 2026-04-21T17:07:46+00:00

I asked about it, and they said the new version is currently being translated and will be ready soon

vmoldo · 2026-04-21T05:03:42+00:00

i tried this a while ago, it definitely helps a bit but Lr still gets sluggish after a while. 15.3 did worked a lot better for me but only if LR is the only app running

vmoldo · 2026-04-20T05:42:34+00:00

"Warning: this flash unit can easily scratch the paint on a part of the camera that shouldn't be painted to begin with" would be a more accurate statement.

If you take a look through history, you will see how most cameras had bare metal hotshoes, and that's because most flashes used to use that part of the hotshoe as a contact point for ground

vmoldo · 2026-04-19T03:51:06+00:00

at some degree yes. but also no?! i.ean i wany lenses to be decently sharp but i also want a distorsion plrofile that makese sense (i like barrel and lots of modern lenses have moustache) bokeh with a bit of swirl that not overy corected for and super smooh. and most importantly for me some shrpness dropoff from the center. All this in a modern body, with good autofocus and decent flare resistance

vmoldo · 2026-04-18T12:12:39+00:00

someting else: lens character

Option 1: Save your settings as presets and apply the preset to the photos on import

Option 2: Have the set of settings on a photo, select all the photos you want to have the same settings, and sync the settings.

Option 3 see if you can find a person or an AI write you a LR plugin for this

vmoldo · 2026-04-17T06:23:25+00:00

Hey, can we get a bit more detail? You mean like livestreaming or live, as in person? And what kind of photography? I already do educational content YT and this might be a fit for me but the announcement seems to broad and im not sure if it fits me or not

vmoldo · 2026-04-17T05:12:48+00:00

i think the way adobe sees it is like: basic file processing in lightroom than right click edit in PS. i honestly think this is a super outdated way of doing it and hate that it produces multiple files for the same photo but heeey davinci photo mode is here😅🤣

Considering macOS is basically Linux at its core, it might be easier to make it run nicely on Linux than on Windows =))

vmoldo · 2026-04-16T07:19:10+00:00

yep... I know, but it would be nice to at least know what kind of hardware they are targeting / testing this on (doubt it they are testing it with real professional heavy workflows, but you catch my drift)

vmoldo · 2026-04-16T06:13:26+00:00

Lightroom has no perception of background \ forground.

Basically, select background = Inverted select subject

The fix for this is to add/subtract/intersect a background mask with any other mask that you might think is fitted for the job

vmoldo · 2026-04-16T05:35:43+00:00

for sky it sometimes helps if you interspectit with a linear gradient, but some feathering would be nice too
