lol do you have any idea why you’re shooting raw?

Awesome, thanks!

I learned how to use Lightroom on my iPhone. Every photo I’ve posted on this account was edited in Lightroom on an iPhone.

I now have a laptop and it’s obviously better, but you can absolutely learn the basics and get comfortable with the progress on your phone.

Yeah, this definitely is not true.

Yes. I got suspended for a week for replying to a Turkish post in Turkish. I used google translate, as I don’t speak Turkish. The contents of the comment were soooo vanilla. Something like, “great photo, how do you like that camera?”

So fucking weird.

As often as possible.

Skip the dropper and use the slider until you like what you see

lol stop

Save up for nisi or something else good. The cheap stuff is junk.

In addition to what others have said, you’ve linked two pretty low end consumer model monitors. Probably not worth calibrating for any purpose.

Pro colorists use monitors in the tens of thousands of dollars. They cost that much for a reason. It’s not brightness or product life or functionality. It’s color accuracy.

You’re bringing a $250 Amazon product to the table and expecting it to do anything even close to a $25,000 reference monitor? Not gonna happen. Plus you’re probably missing other critical intermediary hardware.

Easiest realistic solution for you, get a MacBook Pro G2 and absolutely be close enough for your use case right out of the box. How do I know this’ll be good enough for you? If if wouldn’t, you’d already know this which means you wouldn’t be asking how to perfectly calibrate a $250 gaming monitor.

street photography is as much about the people as it is the street

Huh? Street photography, while poorly named, has nothing to do with streets. It can be done in malls, on trains, on hiking trails, and a million other places with no streets.

You’re correct. Which means you’ll be heavily downvoted in this sub. More proof that the idea of being a street photographer is something a lot of people here love, but when it comes to actually doing it they’d rather move the goalposts than do the work.
