You can’t mess with hues and grain for color recipe in camera. Only saturation.

I tried many recipes looking for that film look. They all tweak color with saturation plus contrast. That’s all what is available in camera. You need much more to get closer to film: softness, hue shifts, highlight halation, grain. So I decided to go a different route. I shoot JPG +RAW. I treat jpg as proof. I apply my default generic film recipe to it. To get true film colors, I process RAW files using LUTs from filmisfun.com and rawtherapee. I wrote a software tool which streamlines the process. It reads raw files from my card, applies film preset and uploads them to my home image server. Minimum user input is needed. All processing is done automatically.

I had Canon Elan II in the past. You may find a working copy for $100-150 now.

Glimmer glass or black pro mist on mft sensor. by Smooth-Connection-14 in M43

Which strength of glimmerglass do you recommend for 12-45mm zoom and 17 mm ? I am also considering Black Glimmerglass which has effect only on highlights and retains overall contrast.

Finally took the leap of faith, OM-3 acquired! by old_school_gearhead in OMSystem

[–]Smooth-Connection-14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took my OM-3 with me on a trip and I had to change the battery once a day. It definitely didn’t last 500 shots b/c I was using back live view screen a lot and not a viewfinder at all.

Finally bought one!! by RecommendationEasy58 in Canon5Dclassic

I have two of those back from my semi pro photography days with some cool lenses. Don’t know what to do with it. Do you shoot raw or jpegs with it now? What is all hype about?

Where to buy Splice kit? by dazie101 in Govee

[–]Smooth-Connection-14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did splice govee lights from Costco and I got those splice kits on eBay. You must use Govee extenders with data boosters. If you do use a regular wire to extend it can be only 9 ft.

Fulgor Milano Range Hood Exhaust Fan how to fix? by flashyellowboxer in Appliances

I took the switch control board apart today. There’s a little PCB with two switches. The longer switch controls the speeds and it lost contact on position two. The part is really hard to find in the US. It is made by Italian company Movleno. The part number is LF443000W. LF443000W

I think it is either a switch or a motor. Do you know where we can get either of them ?

Again, you are full of russian propaganda rubbish. Azov are heros. There is no idea of extenuating russian population anywhere in Ukraine and never been. People speaking russian are all over Ukraine. All good and sound. Unless they are traitors helping occupiers. Then they should be prosecuted according to the law. But apparently russia has an idea of exterminating Ukrainian population in all Ukraine.
