You don't have to accept that the default raw looks yucky

 Too often, people exclaim that when they display their raw image on the computer, the image looks yucky compared to the SOOC JPEG displayed on the back of their camera. You can customise that for all new images instead of re-working each image individually.

Here's how Adobe describes it:

Oh, a new (old) camera

Fresh Greetings

I've been neglecting this blog, my (youtube.com/@AnandaSim) channel and Snippets of Photo Info site (for technical info). Life's been busy. I think the main reason I haven't been writing is because I've been out taking photos and posting primarily on my Instagram with older gear

Resuming this blog

What is it about a new camera that makes me want to reach out, chat, share?

After skipping the Mark II, this Mark III is intriguing. Let's see whether more articles here are the result.

In the meantime, have a look at my Keen

Where else to find me?

I'm back there at itsnotthecameraitstheperson. I had a flickr pro account but over the years lapsed into a free account at anandasim88. The hub to these and other website is at linktr.ee/AnandaSim Oh, I've the opportunity to teach photography fundamentals. Come play with me at CAE.

Amusing questions by people new to film

Hiya, is there a way to check the expiry of individual film rolls without boxes? Found some rolls at an op shop with the label ‘new’ that I simply do not trust

do i need to shoot the whole roll of film at the same iso or is it able to be changed for different photos? not sure if changing it affects the developing process or not?
