The new Caira AI camera lets you edit the clothes and accessories on photos you took.

ONE SINGLE STEP further and this becomes instantly unethical.

Nothing is trustworthy, nothihg is real, the dead internet theory is here.

emulating XPAN highlighted why some people fall out of love with their Fuji TX's/Hasselblad Xpan's without the cost, the frame is pretty hard to compose for day-to-day, you MUST to be at the right locations.

I really wish Ferrania published spectral sensitivity, after shooting this I wonder if it's not very sensitive to greens cause those leaves are almost BLACK. The detail and contrast is spectacular though, I made zero adjustments to the scans.

First outing with the Leica IIIf I repaired myself ๐Ÿ’ชalso first time shooting Ferrania films!
80 ISO put me off for a while but I kept seeing/hearing how good the film is.
Shame they're in constant financial purgatory.

A #harmanphoenix2 stress test in a fully automatic point and shoot. This is a HUGE improvement over Pheonix 1, but like Phoenix 1 it needs to be shot at a lower ISO than advertised.

Im most suprised how much bloom there is from the Sony despite stopping down to f/11 whereas the Nikon was shot wide open on a relatively ancient lens.
