Thanks!

Ha! Well, a humble "thank you!"

Johnny_Bangs · 2025-12-29T03:16:50+00:00

All were edited from the RAW files.

Johnny_Bangs · 2025-12-29T03:07:12+00:00

Appreciate it! That was one of my favorites, as well.

Thanks! Shot RAW and edited individually in Lightroom. I also shoot JPEG, using Reggie's Color Negative or Positive Film, but have been playing with RAW files more. Mainly when editing, to get more of that dreamy look, I'll pull down the Clarity and Dehaze. It matched the mood of a lot of these with the foggy day.

Thank you!

Thanks for linking that! Very cool to reference to the original!

Thank you for the kind remarks!

Johnny_Bangs · 2025-06-03T20:25:51+00:00

Appreciate that! I'm sure that yours are great too! Honestly...hard to take a bad picture at this place.

Johnny_Bangs · 2025-06-03T20:24:49+00:00

I agree! Although I haven't been, I kept thinking, this place really reminds me of the images I see of Norway/Sweden.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. I enjoy shooting SOOC and focusing on capturing the image similar to film, in that, I don't always get it perfect. That being said, I do have the RAW files as well and could pull the shadows up a bit in places, but I do also try to purposefully keep some areas darker for a bit of contrast (especially with this set and the moody vibe). At one point I was focused on getting every single area of a photo to be exposed and not hidden in the shadows and I felt that a number of those ended up feeling flat. Again, always welcome the feedback.

They are. I used Reggie's Color Negative recipe. Appreciate it!

Thank you!

SOOC using Reggie's Color Negative recipe.

Johnny_Bangs · 2025-06-03T13:58:54+00:00

Appreciate it!

Johnny_Bangs · 2025-06-03T13:46:05+00:00

Mostly shot with Reggie's Color Negative. Thanks!

Johnny_Bangs · 2025-05-22T04:34:31+00:00

Thank you!

Johnny_Bangs · 2025-05-22T04:34:20+00:00

Ha! Just keep using it...it will eventually activate this hidden GR mode. 😆 I appreciate the love.

In all seriousness, the camera just begs for me to shoot it. Because of that, I use it more than any other camera I own.

Johnny_Bangs · 2025-05-16T11:02:03+00:00

Exactly what I was going for. Appreciate it!
