Some more #monochromemagic for #monochromemonday with Cath in a local park. All shot with #naturallight using a #fujixt3 and fuji1655mmf28 lens. Focal lengths and shutter speeds varied due to verying shot angles and utilizing #aperturepriority mode, but ISO was set at 400 and all except the last image at f/2.8 (accidentally bumped aperture ring on last one without realizing it, causing f/3.2 to be used there). #blackandwhite #monochrome #model #woman #filipina #petite #smile #happiness #femalebeauty #littleblackdress #lbd #waterfountain #park #portrait #blackandwhiteportraits #photography #photo #portraitphotography #tampa #florida #tampabay
A little #beforeandafter comparison, demonstrating my editing style/aesthetic. This shot was in B&W from the get-go: on the left is a straight out of camera JPEG version (created in camera, I set RAW and JPEG creation in tandem) of it that served as a proof for viewing, on the right is the end result after making adjustments in #lightrooom and #photoshop (don't remember exactly what I did but it was minimal, including lifting shadow/dark tones a bit). Sometimes #lessismore as I tread a fine line between natural looking and vibrant w/photo editing. Model: Karina. Camera and lens info: #fujixt3 and #tamron1770mmf28. Settings: 48mm (71mm full frame equivalent), ISO 400, f/2.8, 1/180 using natural light, aperture priority mode. #blackandwhite #monochrome #blackandwhitephotography #monochromemagic #photography #photo #photoediting #demo #comparison #portraiture #portraitphotography #woman #model #cowgirl #countrygirl #flower #cowboyhat #rural #rurallife #adobe #fujifilm #tamron #aperturepriority #naturallight #naturallightphotography #naturallightportrait
Been getting into analog more and more lately, finally learning to develop from scratch. Still gonna keep shooting digital for studio work, but the effort involved with film really makes those everyday shots feel more special.

Will be dumping some from the latest batch of scans in a bit.

🇺🇦UA: Коли вдома з’являлася верба, я знала, весна вже близько. Не календарна, а справжня - з теплим вітром, талими калюжами й першим сонцем.
У кожного вона своя. Хтось відчуває її в пролісках, куплених у бабусі в переході метро. Хтось, у перших крокусах, що стирчать кольоровими острівцями серед ще холодної землі. А хтось, можливо, в нарцисах, які пихато квітнуть першими на клумбах біля підʼїзду.
Для мене весна це верба. Спочатку її приносила бабуся, і я знала, якщо повертаюся зі школи й бачу у вазі пухнасті гілочки, значить, зима вже не повернеться. Потім почала збирати сама, спочатку для бабусі, бо вона б точно раділа. А потім для себе. Бо є щось заспокійливе в тому, щоб не просто чекати весну, а принести її додому :)

The Danish Home Lighting Trend That Can Improve Your Mental Health

By Ana Morales
February 27, 2025

"[W]hile reading The Little Book of #Hygge, by Meik Wiking, I discovered that the Danes are also very particular when it comes to lighting—and they even have a very refined technique to using it in their homes. For the Danish, it’s something bordering on an obsession. All this stems from, according to Wiking, 'the relative lack of contact with natural light from October to March'—that is, during the long, dark winters of northern Europe."
