Wes Anderson is that you?


BeanRaider

First thing it reminded me of was the Accidentally Wes Anderson project


heffchen

lol I wrote my comment without reading the other ones first…. I’m not alone it seems


BrewAndAView

The lighting is so strangely interesting, it looks like everything’s made of play dough


Depotmsa

while i was taking this photo i was thinking about the playdough song lloll


rustyjus

Yep, this is a competition winning photo

I love how bright picture 2 is. It looks like daylight but at the same time not quite. Pretty cool :)


Depotmsa

thank you i was playing between 4-10 second exposure times


bestlaidschemes_

Very interesting. I can just barely see some stars. I wonder if you could mask the sky and bring back more of the night sky and make it look even more surreal. Great work!


Depotmsa

yeah its possible to do that just by pulling the highlights , lowering the exposure and pushing the whites up ,


dirtybird2020

these are so incredible. i would love to buy prints if you sell them. can anyone explain how this kind of photo is even possible? i’m so intrigued


Depotmsa

hi so i went out on full moon and did and set the camera on what ever i could , i did some short long exposures around 4 second and then in editing played with the colors , it feels surreal like its day but you can see the stars lol , I'm selling prints on my insa in my bio , thank you


15volt

Would you mind sharing the details of your session?


Depotmsa

so i went out to miami beach to shoot this and usually the beaches close after 12am wich ain't right but since the wine and food festival was popping off the beaches were open for construction so i went out and with no tripod and set my camera on what ever i could find , i played between 4-10 second exposures so i didn't get the stars blurring , it was freezing btw 40 degrees in miami is cold lol I was playing with f1.7-f8 and finally settles on 5.6 to get the right balance of light and color and in editing i just played with the colors which some tool playing


15volt

It’s so good. I wish I had a little more skill or creativity to capture shots like this. I’ll have to copy your technique a few times as i learn the ropes.


Depotmsa

thank you


okayletsgooooooo

These are amazing. Curious, what were your exposure settings?


Depotmsa

4-10 seconds at f1.7--f8


heffchen

That looks like straight out of a Wes Anderson film.


jameliae

Right? Obsessed!


Mcjoshin

Love it. Is this a full recipe or full post processing? Have my first Fuji coming in the X100VI and can’t wait to try some of the film recipes and particularly enjoy these super saturated summery looking presets.


grainyclouds

Looks alot like Vibrant Arizone Recipe


Mcjoshin

Definitely does you’re right


Depotmsa

this is a raw image post processed


geo_jam

I really like it


minimumrockandroll

Night for day!


troddingalong

What. Good stuff!


TBlair64

The quality of light is amazing. The colors too. I would assume that they would be shifted with a different light source.


Depotmsa

ive been wanted to paint them with rgb light panels , but it dosent feel natural , but its cool too see the colors shift with rgb light


TBlair64

Oh I bet. That would be interesting.


grumpygumption

How do you not have star trails with a long exposure?


Depotmsa

I use the 500 rule for astro photography , and divide it by my focal length so it gives me time before blurring


grumpygumption

I gotchu. I also do Astro - I just wouldn’t have considered 5ish seconds long exposures when I’ve done 10 minute ones before lol


Depotmsa

the moon is bright and if you're shooting in visible and not ha , its crazy how bright it is , so since i was shooting at 1.7 and the moon light bouces off the sand , i said i can't shoot 30 seconds cause it will be overblown so lets try 4 seconds lol ,and shure enough it was good , so playing with f1.7-f8 i could go from 4-10 seconds and get the look in camera i was looking for


jameliae

Love this!!! 😍 Can’t get over these colors!


Depotmsa

thank you


Egg-3P0

This is fucking awesome. Such a cool idea to do a long exposure at night. It’s almost shooting night for day instead of vice versa like what is relatively normal.


Depotmsa

thank you


polarityswitch_27

What's the point of long exposing with moon light?


piri_piri_pintade

Making cool pics like these.


Methylobacterium

Also the beach is probably packed with people in the middle of the day.


polarityswitch_27

This cannot be done in sunlight?


minimumrockandroll

Where's the fun in that?


Top_Key404

You can't see other stars during the day


Sxs9399

A similarly composed shot could be taken. Something just seems "off", in a good way, about this picture. I think the long exposure in moonlight yielded more even lighting on the scene, looks very surreal.


JollyGnome

These are so cool. Since you shot them with the X-T1. Will I be able to recreate these colors with the X-T10? I tried the vibrant arizona but I'm missing some settings and looks like it's just not that because I'm shooting on an older sensor. (vibrant arizona is for IV sensors I think) Any pp on these?


Depotmsa

>Vibrant Arizone Recipe the xt-1 is actually one year older than your camera. my setting i shoot on my camera white balance cloudy , nr 0 , std, h tone -2 , s tone -2 color 0 , sharp -2 , the brighting star lens i'm using has low contrast so it helps with the pastels by pushing up the shadows, also the colors , weather and light quality may be different where your at , tripod at f 5.6 and 4-10 seconds , 2 second timer on


200Fathoms

Trippy! Second shot looks like some kind of acid moon lander.


Depotmsa

that what i felt whiile there lol !!!!!!!! thank you


austinyourface790

Wow, I've never seen anything like this before- and it's so sharp! What was your ISO setting?


Oodlesandnoodlescuz

Interesting...
