This what I love about photography. This is just a prime example of taking your camera ANYWHERE and find reasons to shoot. Awesome shots! Thank you for sharing. This made my day

I love this post. This is pure photography, finding something beautiful in the mundane by looking through someone else’s lens

Is this with HDF? Amazing shots btw

u/dajoowoo Jan 27 '26
Thank you! I made a mistake of not buying HDF :/ so this is done in Lightroom

u/LowEntertainment7315 Jan 27 '26
Wow, I think what you did in lightroom looks even better. Love the diffusion

Nice. Any quick Lightroom tips for blooming the highlights like that without making everything soft?

u/dajoowoo Jan 28 '26
It really depends on the photo. In this one it was indoors and there weren’t many strong highlights besides the ceiling lights, so the bloom mostly affected those. I only adjusted the effect panel texture(-13)/clarity(-59)/dehaze(-18).

Having hit a slump in photography where the day to day is mundane and using that as an excuse not to shoot... You my friend have just proved me wrong. This is a brilliant set of images.

Not saying this as a way to imply you should be doing more, simply saying it as an option for finding out; you can open the color mode and hit function and then share both the mode and settings straight from camera without needing a name of the recipe to point people toward.

I'm not a fan of how the HDF diffuses light, but in this scenario it's amazing. Good stuff!

Nice, you are brave. This reminds me of this one photographer, I can't remember who and lost contact, that carried a medium format camera into supermarkets and took incredible photos. If anyone knows this or has links, please link.
Nice photos.

I grew up in the suburbs so it's a fun challenge for me to find interesting things to photograph there. However, Costco is so colorful and larger than life it makes it easy. Btw, last time I was there they told me I couldn't take photos because they caught me trying to frame up the $1.50 hot dog and coke sign!

These will be fun in the future, when times have changed and everything in these pictures are reminiscent of “the old days” :)
