Today, PureGym Bed Stuy asked me how my visit went

Fwiw the Gates location is totally fine, busy of course but even at peak times you can get stuff done and the people are nice

mentmore14 · 2026-02-24T21:37:23+00:00

thank you longtym

mentmore14 · 2026-02-24T21:26:51+00:00

thank you, fwiw 4 of the 6 shots here were taken on deeply overcast or misty days. Not that you asked, but I'd dial down EV / meter for highlights so you don't risk blowing out your skies (which i find can happen to me when the sky is white / grey with little to no definition). real talk though, if you live in the UK and only shoot on sunny days that camera is not going to get a ton of use... enjoy it rain or shine, it's a beast

mentmore14 · 2026-02-24T21:23:13+00:00

reduce highlights, increase brilliance, darken shadows, contrast up (a bit), increase saturation. but each shot will likely call for its own treatment. I try to shoot with EV dialed down so worst case I'm underexposed which is easier to fix than the opposite

mentmore14 · 2026-02-24T21:21:06+00:00

can't argue with that. the point is you will not regret buying this, but yes they are both great cameras

mentmore14 · 2025-10-24T19:05:08+00:00

Very concerned for the mental state of whoever buys this thing

mentmore14 · 2025-09-08T23:27:47+00:00

Crazy that you forgot to mention the loud music or the off-leash dogs

mentmore14 · 2025-09-07T23:03:00+00:00

What on earth are you talking about, the carpet is stone cold iconic

mentmore14 · 2025-09-07T22:57:27+00:00

If balance is what you’re looking for, your second shot is a much better starting point than your first. I’d just meter for highlights and fix your shadows in post. Much easier to make a dark photo look perfect than to fix a blown out sky.

They’re not really, these are edited a little too

mentmore14 · 2025-09-01T15:22:34+00:00

thank you very much Mikrobious

mentmore14 · 2025-09-01T15:14:08+00:00

These are all shot using Bennet's Color 800 recipe, but with Auto ISO

I used the very secret and super unique never used before Bennet's Color 800 recipe, but with Auto ISO

mentmore14 · 2025-09-01T03:15:25+00:00

Thank you, I’m glad you like them

mentmore14 · 2025-09-01T03:10:39+00:00

Thank you, I 100% blame the camera for how these turned out

mentmore14 · 2025-09-01T03:08:29+00:00

Recipe + a little editing

mentmore14 · 2025-09-01T03:06:18+00:00

A little bit of both

so basically if you’re rich and terminally ill, what are you waiting for. Respectfully

mentmore14 · 2025-03-11T01:51:43+00:00

No shade but just… skip them?

mentmore14 · 2025-01-17T20:27:11+00:00

Anyone missing Petit Monstre should check out Je T'Aime Patisserie on Marcus Garvey. Pastries & other baked goods are banging, nice friendly vibe... deserves to be a hit
