KaneDogAre any of you guys familiar with the VSCO film presets? I've done a little bit of research and they seem to be pretty cool, but I'm sure it would be easy to emulate them in post
rudedog41I've used them fairly extensively. The reason is only because I haven't taken the time to learn how to get the colors I want, manually through hue adjustments.
The look is amazing, especially with a relatively flat raw image. They can tend to be pretty strong/overpowering if the image is contrasty to begin with.
The majority of my images on my instagram use them @maxrood if you want to check them out!

cstearnsI use them and love them. I really like the Portra 160 and the 400H. They're really good to get yourself to a starting point with a photo, but I always do other changes in the HSL and curves and stuff. I'll put my insta in here too so you can see some other examples. https://www.instagram.com/callumstearns/?hl=en

KaneDogNice feed, so did you buy a package of them?
cstearnsyeah, the 06 pack is what I have and its killer.
KaneDogthanks man! threw you a follow as well. Do you know that Andrew dude who comments on your pictures?
cstearnsthanks man! and I met him through Instagram and I've shot with him once.
KaneDogNice, does it piss you off at all that you have very similar feeds but he has over 200k followers? I know followers shouldn't matter in "the meaning of life"or photography in general but curious

erikKWell Instagram is a fucking joke in general for this. My girlfriend has like 3000 followers and all she posts is stupid poorly-composed phone shots of random shit she sees and selfies. She started hashtagging the shit out of them and tagging random accounts a while ago because she "wanted to see if she could do it". She works in community engagement type shit for the city though so she tries to promote herself through instagram which kinda makes sense. She says people unfollow her all the time if she doesn't follow them back or doesn't post a picture for a few days in a row hahaha
I think getting lots of instagram followers is pretty easy if you actually go and try, clearly people on instragram don't care about the quality of the photos you're posting. If you do care about the quality then you use 500px or flickr or something, because viewing compressed-as-fuck phone pictures on a tiny phone screen is stupid anyway
That being said, I followed you guys that posted your accounts here
erikKOh yeah, I found the VSCO preset packs 01-04 on the pirate bay, but they aren't great. Only looked at a couple though so might be some gems hidden in there
