@aetios @mametsuko @mia but you were asking me about how i got the colors i got from my photos (editing basically 3010 )
if you’re okay with bigger cameras DSLRs are very good value hehecat

@cell @mametsuko @mia @aetios i can barely ever tell if i'm making things worse or better with editing so i always keep it to a minimum

@cell @aetios @mametsuko you can get so much out of the a7c honestly. like, set some HDR gamma curve (e.g. HLG) in the picture profile and that gives you even more range than it has on the standard setting

but also i’m now spoiled by a P3 display and i keep noticing just how small the sRGB gamut is

@snacks @cell @mametsuko @aetios don’t edit to improve and extract quality. edit to show what you like

@mia @mametsuko @aetios my ultimate target with any photo is printing, and that’s the one big advantage photography has over videography. though dynamic range and color gamut are limited to the paper used and ink of the printer meowpeekaboo

but it’s something that has no need for devil’s electronic displays and it’s something you can literally pass around and even mail to friends and loved ones blobcatheart

@cell @mametsuko @aetios and then printing is entirely different color science again! and you can’t assess that on sRGB either notlikeifrit

@cell @mametsuko @aetios though let’s be real it’s not that big a deal. what comes out of modern cameras is pretty damn good as-is

@cell @mametsuko @mia I don't wanna edit a lot and I don't wanna lug around a massive camera neocat_thonk that's why I was thinking about a Fuji but they're expensive neocat_explode

@aetios @cell @mametsuko “i can’t lug this thing around” was the main reason i got the a7c as opposed to any other camera. didn’t want to compromise on the exchangeable lenses but i also hated how chonky and impractical the eos 700d was

now my problem is that my favorite lenses are fat and heavier than the camera jelnotlikethis
