Afternoon plan: photo culling, gin & tonic and Netflix
With confinement old routines were replaced with new ones, streets almost unknown to me became familiar and favorite spots kind of abandoned. Today, while running by the river at dusk, it was clear to me that was the second option.
Weekend walkabouts while in deconfinement, when revisiting some of your familiar spots seems like a good idea.
My presets now work in other softwares than Darktable! Well, kind of… Your RAW developer software must support color lookup tables.I started working on t3mujinpack presets, which are based in the Tone Curves module, using precisely the existing color lookup tables (like the film emulations on RawTherapee) as a reference and starting point, also because at the time Darktable didn’t support them at the time. Although it was meant to be a one-man project, I ended up creating it as an open-source project, just for the sake of giving back to the community, and the truth his there has been people giving an helping hand. More recently someone submitted a “pull request” that included all the presets exported back to color lookup tables. This means that the presets, that only work in Darktable, now can be used in other imaging softwares. You gotta love open-source!This opens up some possibilities, by allowing it to be used in many other imaging softwares. The caveat is the software must support color lookup tables, if possible in haldCLUT format or other than can be converted from haldCLUT (like 3D LUT). These are still under heavy development, and can’t yet be found in the stable release, but feel free to download from Github and try to apply these color look tables to your photos to get the same look. Hopefully!… github.com/t3mujin/t…

Still making the best of these quarantine days by going through my archive. Now I’m going through some of my several trips to Porto in the last couple of years.
Quarantine days are also nice to jump into my growing archive of unprocessed photos. Here in a throwback to two years ago, to a semi-abandoned workshop in Oporto and those guard dogs monitoring our movements…
Right before it was released I was able to play around with a X100V for some hours, and I’m able to confirm everything on this article: overall it’s a neat upgrade, like having weather sealing, but that new lens really is an awesome piece of glass! Something I might consider after this pandemic thing goes away and prices go down… Either that or a Ricoh GR III.(via @dpreview)www.dpreview.com/articles/…
I’m not entirely optimistic about the environmental impacts of Covid-19: in short-term it’s unquestionable, but after the lockdown ends I worry the effect will be exactly the opposite and ecology won’t be a priority anymore. Despite that, I hope we can use this time to realize the impact we’ve been having until now and what we’re able to change in the future. www.thephoblographer.com/2020/03/3…
Uma das coisas que me tem mantido activo nestes dias de isolamento social tem sido o EverydayCovid; contribuindo com algum material mas, por causa desse mesmo isolamento, mais focado na logística e nos bastidores. E tem sido imensamente enriquecedor ver como explodiu e o alcance que tem tido
