@@AlanMeksikanac I think you can’t go wrong with TT Artisan lenses. Very good quality for low prices! They are fun to experiment with.

To be honest I never use EV compensation when shooting auroras. It could have benefits I suppose. When I edit aurora photos I turn off any lens correction in Lightroom so it actually makes the corners appear darker due to some vignetting but I personally like the vignette effect as it usually makes the aurora POP a bit more. I don’t typically raise highlights or brighten shadows. I do raise exposure a bit, unless the aurora is very bright. What I use most often is are color grading wheels and a touch of dehaze. I believe several other photo editors now have color grading options if you don’t use Lightroom. Color grading is probably most associated with video work but I have found it a very useful tool for all types of photos. Perhaps I will make a video explaining my process of editing Aurora photos. I think getting test prints on different paper types is a very good idea, it’s helped me figure out what looks best for my photos. Have fun on your journey into printing your photos, it’s very rewarding to see them in a tangible form!

@@dustinmurphy82 that’s great!

@@CBortlearts Film photography is awesome. Way back when I used to fill up rolls of film from a 35mm Pentax. I’ve definitely embraced the mirrorless technology of the last decade or so. What sort of business are you launching in Olympia?

@@ggoudey-photo I often have temptaions of returning to digital in a limited capacity but the only one I would use is the Leica Digilux3/Panasonc DMC-L1. The CCD sensors that were used and the film like manual operation were so awesome and they rendered images that were eerily film like to me. I have decided to try and sell my art for the first time after years of shooting film and also scuplting and writing music. I have been told so many times I should be selling my work instead of ginving it away so I decided to go for it, hence my business. This area is a great art community. We shall see. I may open a store front but I'm going online first. There are so many awesome photographers around this area. I love to see the work they do. I'm excited to see yours as you have lived abroad as I have.

@@ggoudey-photo Sorry for the late reply. I finally decided to start a business selling my art as I have been pursuaded by many to do so over the years and Olympia is a good place to try it. I'm starting out online at the moment and will eventually try and find a place downtown. My photography is one part of it, as I also sculpt, draw and write music. I have only sold framed peices off and on over the years. I like that part of it too. I am in the camp of "A good photo belongs on a wall". I never promoted anything before and especially through a KZbin channel, so my hats off to you! Can't wait to see your channel progress. Awesome to see from someone close to home.

Hey @wilyo, Obrigado! Cheers from Seattle. I stayed in Brazil for just over one month in 2004/2005. I love Brazil❤️

I mean to be fair they haven't played bleed for 5 years, and the songs you mentioned (other than immutable stuff) have basically been played constantly in the more recent tours. I wish I could've seen them play bleed last year when I saw them.

@@Sasquatch33yeah you do got a point, and 5 yrs no bleed. I mean the reason I said those other songs is to make the SETLIST longer. 2023 is shorter than last yr. A typical meshuggah SETLIST should at least be 1 hr 35-40 mins at most
