“It’s because I’m depressed.”

‘About what?”

“The rain. It’ll stop soon.”

“When you’re depressed, it rains?”

“Yes.”

“Then when there’s a typhoon, how depressed are you?”

“That’s not me, … the earth’s depressed.” ~Guardian: The Lonely and Great God

FujifilmX-T4 … f/4 1/1000 s 59 mm 640 ISO -2 ev

This image was created with Fujifilm’s film simulation retro gold with lights and shadow adjusted during post editing.

I work with RAW images, the camera is set at Aperture Mode, and generally edit images in Capture One, Photoshop, Nix Software, and Snapseed.

As my computer isn’t reading my external disks, the RAW files of the last three images were edited in iPad’s Lightroom, Photoshop, and Snapseed.

Thank you Sofia (Photographias) for this week’s lens-artist’s challenge: exposure.
