Justin's Notes

August 2024 Photos

Sep. 1, 2024

Most of my shooting this August consisted of trips to Portland as the summer came to an end, and a few shots at home with some nice daylight. Nothing to out of the ordinary, but still fun spots to shoot.

One fun thing... I realized about the second week of August that my presets in Lightroom for possibly a long time have had some funky settings going on. Although I still love the look of a lot of my photos, at some point the tint and vibrancy had been boosted quite a bit and were actually pretty noticeable in my color edits. I think now that I have noticed and fixed those settings, my edits still have those Fujifilm color vibes but are a lot more accurate color-wise than they used to be. It was a pretty frustrating revelation after months of editing with some whacked-out settings, but it's okay. I still love a ton of the photos I have taken this year, even if the colors are a little off at times. Live and learn.
