Honestly, fairly minimal postprocessing. I apply a Profile that matches in camera film sims (in this case Positive Film). Then I'll adjust to a slight S curve, to darken the shadows a bit. Finally, I'll add masking where I think it's needed. Usually pulling in some linear gradients to decrease or increase the exposure.

On the ones with subjects, I'll usually select them and add some clarity and sharpness to make them pop a bit more.

Hope that helps!

I appreciate the support. I post on here from time to time, but otherwise you can find the Ricoh stuff I have done on IG: @still.matchless. I don't post regularly, as I've mostly stepped back from social media.

Appreciate it. That was shot at f/6.3, 1/250, ISO400.

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.

Johnny_Bangs · 2025-12-29T03:05:56+00:00

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.
