I’m intrigued, I really enjoyed working with 110 film back in the day but I didn’t really enjoy using the Holga I was shooting with.

Wait shut my mouth I think the Holga was 120 film so I have actually never shot this format. Nevertheless!
my first camera as a kid was a little 110 camera. much nostalgia!
I love the look of the lomomatic 110, but it would cost more to develop at my local lab - for fewer exposures, at lower quality compared to 35mm. Doesn’t make much sense for me to buy.
It would be an extremely limiting camera.
It only has four manually set focusing distances: 0.8m, 1.5m, 3m and infinity.
It only has two aperture settings: f2.8 and f5.6 (labelled night and day).
You’d need to either get really good at telling how far away 0.8m is, or take a lot of out of focus shots.
or measure how long your arm is

what software yall use for photo editing? im looking at darktable and it seems so hard to understand, but fuck adobe also… maybe “ansel”?
Glimpse, a now abandoned but still pretty useful offshoot of GIMP
I use Lightroom, but I know some people like Affinity because it’s a one time purchase. I don’t think it has any kind of library management though. Might be okay if you just want to open and edit files individually.

I use Affinity
yeah i’ve been using affinity for raws and i copped dark table to try it but gosh it’s inscrutable. also everything is a mid-tone grey so it’s hard to read
I see… Will check out affinity…
I was really taken with capture one’s color grading tools from some video I saw. Seems like a good Lightroom alternative.
Lightroom is the one I’ve used most on a very basic level… Cloud integration is nice and I see the LRC sub is only $10/mo. Ease of use def nice and lots of support.
I think I could learn to use dark table and I’m interested in the scene referred philosophy but I wonder if it would feel like a burden to edit things and create the initial friction to put me off doing it more often. But I think I would learn a lot about developing digital photos which is appealing in its way.
Color grading, denoise, library management are def the most important to me. accessibility also.
Image healing, clone stamp etc not so much. Feels like not in the spirit of things.
Sorry to do conversation and not photo posting

I’ve seen Capture One used in a lot of photography videos I’ve watched, particularly for live photoshoot sessions, and it looks pretty nice. But I think I heard it similarly is not really built for managing a large library of files, just working on individual ones. I don’t know if there’s a separate library software people use if they don’t use Lightroom.
i like darktable i think it’s pretty good. i love shooting raw files ive been at it for 10 years. so it’s really fun to like go back to stuff from the previous decade and make new jpgs with different colors or tones or whatever im in the mood for.
Anyone know a good resource for just reading the philosophy behind color grading or playing with the tone histography? Google searches are all basic “here’s where to find the menu” stuff, but not really talking about the theory or the why’s.
not exactly what you want but i found this an interesting look at the history and theory of color grading workflows - scene referred (darktable, ansel) vs display referred (lightroom etc)

In a story published later, Associated Press said that according to its “news values and principles”, minor edits to photos including cropping, toning and colour adjustment are “acceptable when necessary for clear and accurate reproduction and should maintain the authentic nature of the photograph”.
when necessary is the key bit, a-ha

I somehow nailed close focus on a film 35mm rangefinder.
