Damn this video has some weight. You are very reflective of yourself and the world, like myself, which seems to make your life harder than for others. At least that's what the video carries to myself. But your mom's loss is probably a huge factor as well. All the best to you.
I learned photography back in the film days using Kodachrome. With that film if you did NOT "get it right in the camera" there was nothing you, nor Kodak, could do about it. It was a great lesson to learn and probably the main reason I shoot only JPGs. You can still adjust JPGs (I use Apple Photo on my iPad) but you better have it mostly right on the SSD card. I also create custom sims/looks on my Olympus Pen-F which has a great custom color/mono dial. It's all done in-camera, no computer. I can get up to 8 different look images (4 color, 4 mono) with one click of the shutter. That's usually too many, but great for learning/experimenting. Now I have a Kodachrome I really like and that does not drain my wallet. Olympus already included a "pushed Tri-X" look in their Mono2 custom setting.
Yes, appropriate naming of the luts is essential, so hilarious I had to forward a screenshot to a friend. Life's too short to process every raw image. I am eagerly awaiting the in-camera adoption of the new JPEG XL format, which can cope with up to 32 bits, so will be a good format way into the future.
This video really hit me where I live or the space I'm currently residing, which is... just give me something SOOC I can live with, forfucksake! I can edit RAW, as a mattter of fact I edit RAW really well, a lot better than some of these TH-camrs who teach you how to edit RAW where landscapes morph in vividly monstrous, saturated approximations of nature. SO much wasted time in LRC, lifes way too f-ing short. Been doing my own SOOC experimentations of late. Different camera brands (Sigma, Pentax, the super secret Ricoh GXR A12 module), old CCD vintage digital. Nothing is satisfiying me. Considering trying Fuji again (after selling my x-pro 3 and x100v 8 months back at a small profit... I might be nuts). I'm on a quest for a Kodachrome like look SOOC. A fools errand I think (see below). Your video was great, I was sort of mesmerized. And it's helping me to stay the course. The folowing is definitely TLDR: A side note on Fuji recipes in Fuji X Weekly, specifically the Kodachrome ones. They never get them right. Most don't even come close. I grew up shooting Kodachrome, so I know. I still have my chromes. But even if you didn't have the chance to shoot it. you should still be able to tell, right? All these people need to do is go look at Kodachrome scans (the internet is lousy with them). Here's where they fail... reds (and blue and yellow). There is always talk about the saturated warm reds, and, yes, red tones are warm (browns etc) but red itself has a real pop to it, this is hardly ever the case in these recipes. And what they never, ever get right is how the yellow pops in Kodachrome. Blues are done wrong also. Often they are vivid or even a turquoise pastel in the recipes but Kodachrome blues were often dark and heavy, saturated for sure (but everything across the frame was really). My take away from all this, it may not be the recepie makers fault, I don't think digital sensors are capable of that color profile SOOC. Rant over.
Sorry about your loss. It’s good to see you back on here. Your videos are always about so much more than just photography. Thank you.
Saw the names of your jpeg profiles... Immediately subscribed ❤️

Video made me shed a tear. Keep your head up. And don't be so hard on yourself. The wagon wheel photo actually wasn't that bad.

This whole video applies to me word for word, great video, you have a great voice for video by the way.
