All shot in beautiful iPhone native RAW with @halide for that natural grain and crisp detail.

@sdw @halide is that native raw as opposed to proraw?
Show threadJonathan NicholsonJul 27, 2023
@sdw I love the colors on these! Did you use Darkroom for these?
Show threadsdwJul 27, 2023
@jonathan No, Darkroom isn't usable for me. I use Lightroom, begrudgingly.
Show threadJonathan NicholsonJul 27, 2023
@sdw I’m really hoping that when Photomator adds support for file system access they will also add library support. I will jump from Adobe in a heartbeat.

@sdw lovely snaps Seb. You have a grading recipe you’d like to share?
Show threadsdwJul 27, 2023
@simonharper these ones are old native RAW which I doubt is worth the writeup today. But I do love their look
Show threadSimon HarperJul 27, 2023
@sdw They do look great agreed. Would still love you to do a grading vid/tutorial one day.
Show threadGui NetoJul 27, 2023
@sdw can you explain how to add grain to photos taken from iPhone?
Show threadsdwJul 27, 2023
@guicane I don't, these were shot in native RAW which is pretty grainy.
Show threadGui NetoJul 28, 2023
@sdw sure but I meant if I want to achieve that the phone will the to use night mode, I will turn it off and then it’ll become a dark mess, so I just bring up the exposure?
Show threadWill HookJul 28, 2023
@guicane @sdw You could cheat and add it in post, in Lightroom…
Show threadPenguinJul 28, 2023
@sdw A part of travel I don’t miss: waiting in airports. Except in Shanghai & Tokyo when I needed 30 minutes to find a souvenir coffee cup 🙂 And how did you get a photo from the 1960’s TWA Terminal (in JFK?) with a Lockheed Constellation, my favorite airplane to fly as a child?
Show threadElías ChaoJul 28, 2023

@sdw I would love to see a write up of you explaining your process of taking and editing photos.

Every photo you post look sick, but I have no idea how to get at least similar results.

@sdw LOVE the TWA hotel at JFK. Kind of expect to run in to a young Roger Moore or Peter Sellers at the bar.

@sdw The second and third have this lovely vintage air to them, like glimpses into another slice of time.
Show threadhrxJul 28, 2023
@lumiklovstad @sdw True - the third picture looks like it's taken out of a glossy paper magazine TWA ad from the 60's.

@sdw amazing. I really have a habit of shooting monochrome pics with my iPhone during summer if the light is really harsh and creates super contrast.

@sdw Was anyone patronizing the TWA Hotel? It’s a magnificent rehab with eye-popping prices and IME chronic service issues.

@sdw these are awesome—specifically, where’s the third one? Where are there still TWA planes flying, heralded by flip board clocks?

@sdw
1962 is a trippy shot, right?
Given the nature of the photo, the curved furniture and colors, for a brief moment I thought maybe the photo was taken in 1962...wonderful shots!👏 📷
