A View of a Bed I Don't Sleep On

Just recently we had changed this room to a retro gaming room where my wife and I would just play old video games. At this time of the day the light was incredible and I need to capture what I could before it decided to sleep for the day. I used the Retro filter on my X Half and it gave it this cool color that I enjoyed.

So far the pace I'm putting this camera through has me realize a couple of things:

1. ISO should be at 200 on a sunny day if you're on film simulation mode and using Aperture Priority.
2. Keep the Aperture at 5.6 as best you can. It's the sharpest point of the lens.
3. Fuji Chrome, Classic Neg & Retro filters are my go-to's for the sylistic approach to the images.
4. Make sure to give it a bit of "Weak Grain" because the images do tend to look like phone filters without some noise.
5. Don't let the YouTube influencers tell you this camera sucks. Most of the time their pictures suck and they can't make a good photograph if their life depended on it.

I can almost say that this camera has a lot of interesting limitations that make the challenge of photographing good for me. Considering that I'm a film shooter with cameras that have loads of limitations (you really have to know where you're at with the exposure because most of my cameras do not) this camera sits within that frame of limitations that allows me to figure out how to make a photograph a certain way. It's making me think about how I frame pictures again and that's what I've been missing lately. This and make music has been def exciting for sure.

I have a good amount of images in the tank to sort through and post in the coming weeks. I'll def be shooting more so stay tuned
