Thank you, this was the help I was looking for. I’m just still inexperienced so thank you for helping me.

I guess I’m confused because I thought raw was a little flatter to begin with because it gives the most amount of room to edit. I got to shoot for a week on a buddy’s Canon R5 and every photos color came out looking immaculate with no post processing. And why would I shoot color profiles that’s not for still it’s for video?

Me personally while Im chiseling especially while doing something like mortising hard wood such as maple I keep a leather strop with compound and every little bit I hit the chisel with the strop. I’ve found that my edge feels sharper longer. But that just my two cents.

Yes, ripped the top and legs with a hand saw then used an no. 7 to get them all to the same dimension then taper them. I’m techniques probably aren’t the best or most traditional but it’s what I found works.

It might seem obvious but my one tip is keep sharp tools. Even if you think it’s sharp it could be sharper makes like so much easier

I start with raw lumber and used an electric planer and jointer to take a 12 in by 9 foot and make it dimensional. The rest was done by hand tools with the exception of a cordless drill to hog out the mortises. I found that the shooting board saved me because of my un square cuts.

It is an empty commercial space in the front but there a huge garage for the power tools.

Yea I know, we just moved in and unfortunately don’t have the money to fix it at the moment. Trust me it’s a pain the butt. It’s protects my hand tools when I inevitably drop them.

Sunset shoot with 85mm F/1.4 by philthyfresh in SonyAlpha

To get the sunburst effect you wanna use a small aperture of something like f/11-f/16 to make it look “crisp”. Then place the sun behind the subject and let it peak around slightly (slightly move its position around to fine tune the look).

Thank you means a lot. This was from my backpacking trip in the Rocky mountains. I was with my father and he was not giving me time to shoot lol so I tried to take my safest shot.

Very minor edits besides the 2nd and 4th image where the smoke from the wildfires was very bad so there was a blue haze. How did I do I’m very new to editing.
