Porta Nova🚪 for #doorsday

Wanted to do something a little bit different so I tried to edit it in an almost "comic book -esque" style. Why? Couldn't tell you to be honest. 😂✨
Also, please send thoughts and prayers - I have 1.5 hours of audio to transcribe and then turn into an interview. Miracles most welcome. 😭

Upon opening, my 1st impression was AI. After closer study, I see that it tells a powerful, but ambiguous story, to wit, friends or foes. With that, I think that @NotAHopeInHades has done an excellent editing job in creating the "comic book -esque" style - it's just enough to catch your eye. -Phil

Though I've use Canon since switching from film [c2002], the make isn't important. I use only RAW format, never JPGs. I would miss the opportunity to tweak each pic in RAW before dumping in Photoshop, where I may tweak some more. JPGs always lose some info in compression, and the conversion from in-camera RAW to JPG is done for you at the factory according to what they think is best for you. -Phil

Totally understand what you mean! That's why I don't shoot in JPGs either. I've been using Canon's CRaw option to save on space. (I am unfortunately a burst shooter 😂, especially when it's street photography). I think I might try full Raw for nighttime instead of CRaw from now on because, though I like the end result of this picture and it was fun to do, I think it didn't give me as much range as I would have needed to really play around with it. I changed to CRaw because I had seen people say that it saves space and it's Canon's own compression formula? (I don't know if that's the right word) and it's basically the same as RAW but after this edit and the funky blacks - I am dubious. 🫤 In defence of Canon and CRaw though, I've not pushed an edit this far until now and have had no problems! So this is more user error on my part really. Sorry for the seriously long message, and if you have gotten this far down - thank you and have a lovely evening!! 🫂✨

Don't worry about long messages. Up until you filled me in here I had never heard of the C-Raw option [CR3]. I don't even know if Adobe's Camera RAW has the ability to process it. The only Canons that I've had have been Powershot G series with my newest G1 X Mark III already 8-years old! -Phil

I have an EOS R50 and I will say it's a really handy space saving option. I think when I converted over from RAW I noticed it almost doubled the amount of pictures remaining I could take. Yeah, Adobe can process .CR3 files! That looks like a really nice camera! 😊 It's the absolute perfect size! ✨
