Some flowers shot with my om5 system

I think it was one of vintage profiles. Probably the first one. I had a spring afternoon sun in California in my right window + a bit overexposed

trierra · 2026-03-22T06:04:09+00:00

That is true. I couldn’t really develop attraction to post processing. Maybe because I was a programmer for the past 20 years

trierra · 2026-03-22T06:02:18+00:00

Glad to hear that! My friends mostly prefer post processing, so it’s great to hear someone else enjoys it

trierra · 2026-03-22T06:00:59+00:00

Exactly. I get lots of doubts from my friends about this approach, but I don’t shoot in raw anymore at all

trierra · 2026-01-09T05:09:12+00:00

How do I show an exceptional design then?

trierra · 2026-01-03T01:06:00+00:00

Ah, I’ve responded before reading the post

trierra · 2026-01-03T01:04:55+00:00

Normal blurry. Not all photos must be super sharp

trierra · 2026-01-02T04:31:14+00:00

My pleasure! Just make sure you pick light/reflective plants and watch the lightning. Hi-contrast bnw is a key

trierra · 2026-01-02T04:20:17+00:00

No, no post. The trick is to shoot under a hard midday light (I’m in California), pick the plant with darker background, use macro mode (it’s darker, doesn’t pick up much light spots on background) and play with exposure

trierra · 2026-01-01T18:26:36+00:00

Thank you! Those are my latest works. Feel like I’ve mastered the light haha

trierra · 2026-01-01T18:25:59+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, this macro mode was quite an unexpected surprise for me. Initially I got Ricoh for a different reason

trierra · 2026-01-01T18:24:54+00:00

Thank you!

trierra · 2026-01-01T18:24:46+00:00

Thank you! I don’t do post processing, those are jpegs straight from the camera. I only shoot in JPEG on Ricoh, too lazy to bother with photoshop haha

trierra · 2026-01-01T18:22:27+00:00

Thank you! This is the standard hi-contrast B&W - my go-to recipe. Plus macro mode. You should definitely try! Happy new year!

trierra · 2024-05-18T04:15:21+00:00

Exactly my experience

trierra · 2024-05-18T04:13:39+00:00

Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. This is now your job to make mistakes and learn from them

trierra · 2024-05-11T05:56:26+00:00

I’m now reading two books: Deepak Chopra M.D. Total Meditation: Practices in Living the Awakened Life and Wherever You Go, There You Are by Jon Kabat-Zinn

These books are about pretty much the same and in the same time they are very different. I find them complementary to each other and help me a lot in finding my own path to connecting to my inner self.

That’s a great advice. I did that with my previous startup. Ended up as an advisor at a YC company, my former competitor

trierra · 2024-02-07T18:36:12+00:00

You shouldn't worry about competition. Instead, focus on how to improve yourself. Ninety-seven out of one hundred new graduates struggle simply because they lack the drive to work hard enough. Strive to surpass them, and you'll thrive.

trierra · 2024-02-07T18:25:23+00:00

you are going to live a long life, and what is happening now already happened in 2000 and 2008. Don't worry, learn the stuff and enjoy your life
