Lovely images from this combo. Your color grading is spectacular and yields a classic 1950s / 60s vibe.
You mentioned VSCO presets. Which one(s) are you using? I have several but do not recall output like you are getting.
Thanks,
Jim
I appreciate the kind words!
Interestingly, I have just recently reigned in my post-processing in an attempt to bring some consistency to my output. To that end, I've forced myself to stick to a single film emulation preset (Agfa Vista 400+ - can't recall which pack that was from) in ACR with only minor tweaks* to exposure and contrast primarily. ...and I've been happier with my results than I ever have been. Sometimes constraints are really important for creativity I guess.
*I do whatever I need to with perspective corrections in post to nail what I imagined in the moment (i.e,. I try to hold the camera as high as possible to get parallel verticals, but I iron out the remaining errors in post)

It’s dust-
I use it to frequently with the 500c- it’s like a magnet on the exposed side. I’ve cleaned it a few times. I don’t even care about dust anymore unless I’m printing-
