Este año realmente no disfrute mi juventud como la quise disfrutar, tampoco siento haber dado lo mejor de mi en mis proyectos.

Por un año con más diversión, aventuras y proyectos nuevos.

Brindo por la soledad

que me mira tranquila

aunque me vea sin ti...

¡Salud! Pude comprobar

que jamás estaré sola

mientras me tenga a mí...

Las mejores victorias no siempre son las que ganas... Si no de las que aprendes!!!

Aunque a veces cueste admitirlo, una derrota enseña más que la victoria.

DigiThoughts: Mju Mini/Stylus Verve

I've been shooting with a cam that sort of has some cult status in digicam community for a bit, here are my thoughts.

0. The camera

This camera is the digital cousin of Olympus Mju point and shoot analogue cameras the prices of which exploded after analogue photography youtube evangelized it. This one is in a very Y2K friendly alien shape and is ripe with potential to make tiktok go crazy at some point due to its physical, and not just photographic, aesthetics factor. In the digicam discord I was told that this is a camera that people love due to its form factor (cult status, barring its own emoji in the server) but also the pictures it can produce. I got it as a, stylish, replacement for a Canon Ixus 40 I was taking photos with before with the hope that it can be a replacement capable of good all around photos.

It took me a bit to adapt to the camera, but I think im in a stage where I feel comfortable with it now!

1. Shaky

My first impressions were that every picture I take is quite... blurry.

Shooting mostly in the evenings and just starting with using AUTO everything the camera tried to compensate for the lack of light with long exposure times. The previous Ixus I had handled automatic shooting quite well but decided to dig a bit into the shooting settings.

2. ISO + Ev to rescue

ISO 400

EV: -0.5 or lower

Smacking ISO up high helps a lot already, adds some beautiful noise to the picture and made it lighter. The EV definitely needs to be hit into negative if shooting in lowlight otherwise the camera leaves it's shutter open for too long and you end with blurry pictures. Maybe a tripod could be interesting to use with it.

Anyhow, this lead me to nicer, noiser photos at a day trip to Rijeka with friends. Importantly tho, I felt like I needed to do some post corrections to "pull out" the colours id like. It's something I'd like to avoid, not necessarily because its bad - it's completely valid - but I work so much with a computer in my day-to-day that I'd rather not make my photography hobby depend on it too.

3. Cuisine Preset

A few weeks later I had the chance to visit my good friend Luka in Italy and this is where I feel like I hit the stride with this camera. With the quest to reduce the amount of editing work I tried out the "modes" the camera offers for shooting, like "Night Time", "Nature"... I don't know what exactly these modes change as its not clear, but I believe they act sort of like a colour filter as they don't seem to override the ISO/Ev (which seems odd for some modes like Night Time).

I found that for the warm, noisy photo style that feels very fuzzy using the Cuisine preset alongside the high ISO made for fantastic results. I guess it fit cause everyone I was shooting was a snack hehe.

Rambling on pricing

Last thing I'd like to note is, I love how gimmickry this camera feels in the hand. It has such a weird shape. However, I think the regular price of this thing, 100€ on Ebay, is outside of what is reasonable. I got incredibly lucky and found an almost pristine one on an Austrian second hand site for 50 with shipping to Slovenia. If your goal is to shoot nice photos, i don't think this is worth it.

What I want to say is that you can take photos of this style on cameras way cheaper as well. I also believe that the digicam spirit is to pickup something cheap and make it work. Another part of the digicam spirit, to me, is finding weirdly shaped things. In an era of glass slabs seeing some weird angular designs like this is exciting and harkens to a wild west of electronics design and this one is definitely in that category and it feels like this is being abused by sellers a bit. I don't know man, scarcity and collections are a weird thing.

lo brindo a me, a ciò che sono, a ciò che non diventerò mai, brindo alla mia lealtà, al mio essere generosa. Brindo al mio coraggio che teme anche la paura, brindo alla mia coerenza, al mio essere disponibile e alla mia aggressività.

Brindo ai mie pregi, ma anche ai miei difetti, ai miei dolori che mi hanno rafforzato e alla miei gioie che mi hanno lasciato le rughe dell'aver sorriso spesso. Non rinnego nulla del mio essere, nemmeno ciò che di me non amo. lo brindo a me, una donna come tante, nulla di eccezionale, una donna che sà dare tanto ma a volte riceve poco. Brindo alla mia vita, che comunque vada è stata mia e solo

mia...

Llega septiembre y en chile eso significa que es el mes de nuestras fiestas patrias. Por lo que quise traer a Hatsune Miku vestida con el clásico vestido de "Huasa China" y bailando Cueca.

Escribí una "Paya" para complementar la publicación, espero que les agrade.

**Brindo por estás fiestas patrias, trayendo un dibujo. Se trata de la Vocaloid Miku, bailando sin tapujos.

Después de tanto bailar, seguramente se pondrá a tomar, su buen terremoto, una chicha y también comerá empana’. Solo esperemos que después no quede tira’ de tanto celebrar.

Espero que les haya gustado la paya al igual que esta ilustración, que la hice con mucho amor y me haría mucha ilusión que le dieran Like y compartir a esta publicación.**
