   Since I use FUJIFILM GFX50SII and its kit lens GF35-70mm F4.5-6.5 WR, I less edit on my laptop. On camera, You can select film simulation and adjust contrast, sharpness, colors and such beforehand. Ideally, when you press the shutter, the work is almost done. I shoot with RAW so I'm not sure if these settings such as contrast and sharpness are reflected to the RAW images but I try to keep things simple as much as possible. I use Capture One because I can create catalog for all my photos I took from 2012 up to now and go back and browse and reedit anytime I want. This time,  I re-developed images of Shiran orchid photographed this year. I began with "ETERNA" color profile, which is one of my  favorite film simulation settings, lowered exposure about 0.8, added some contrast and yellow to give some warm feelings to the highlights and shadows. It's basically the same approach when you photograph images, like using filters. To see the original images, please visit her...

　レッドバブルにて、注文していたポストカード19枚が届きました。今回は、全て異なるデザインを一枚ずつ、Painterly Photography シリーズやLondon、広島の自然をテーマに撮影したものを印刷していただきました。渋めの出来上がりに感謝。いちばんのお気に入りは、Twistとタイトル付けした白猫のモノクロ写真。フィルムの良さが出た一枚となりました。５月末に注文し、到着はおおよそ二週間後の６月中旬。この夏は、うちわ片手にポストカードを書いてみようかなと思っています。
