I consider my hobby as print making rather than picture taking, or photography, since I spend more time using Lightroom than I do actually using my cameras.

My Flickr Workflow: I use Adobe Lightroom to process camera raw files or film scan files into a jpeg or "print file". Lightroom allows me to compose (using the crop, straighten, and transform tools) and to restore my vision of the scene (using the tone and presence tools). I have added an Album titled "Technique" that has examples. The image I upload is less than 2 megapixels but should still display full screen in HD or 1080p format. I reserve my full-size files as a protection from image theft (uploaded images only "paper print" at a 4X5" size. I like the 4X5 format and print 8X10's of all my full-size photos.).

My Tools: My Galaxy S22+ smartphone is always with me, so gets used more often (shooting Dng files which are processed on my computer). My infrared photos are made possible by my Leica M8 digital camera. The original sensor in the M8 had a glass cover that was quite inadequate to block infrared light. This sensitivity to IR, along with the rangefinder design (since you don't have to look through the lens to focus or frame) makes handheld IR photography possible. Just use a R72 filter and a well color corrected lens (to accurately focus the long IR waves) and don't be afraid to use the highest iso setting because digital noise doesn't look at all bad in IR.

My other current cameras in use: Panasonic S5 (event, family) Fuji X100F (travel) Leica: ME 240 (digital) M6 (film) and my pride and joy: Pentax MZ-S (film). I am currently adapting several of my old Canon FD special purpose lenses to fit my Panasonic S5 (see album Canon FD lens).
