#horizon forbidden west #hfw #hfw photomode #tfw you can't decide on your slider settings #i used to go with 0.5 vibrancy and sometimes 0.5-1.5 overexposure in hzd depending on the area #and especially where the vibrant filter was concerned #the colour changes were fairly consistent #if you wanted to preserve the green jewel night lighting you had to turn down that filter a little #but other than that it behaved as expected #in hfw however i'm sometimes surprised what it does to certain areas #around vegas? #only applicable during certain times of day unless you want to lose a lot of interesting hues in the lighting #hidden ember/vegas itself? #god beware there's a tiny bit of yellow in the lights #you'll never be happy again unless you want EVERYTHING to turn yellow #the areas that come with fairly white/neutral lighting however? #like the coast #or sky clan territory #0.4-0.6 vibrant filter adds very delicious crispness #then there's my usual problem with night shots #in that my TV displays them being of okay brightness #and my main PC screen for some reason then says it's way too dark #the other monitor despite being the same model and running with the same settings doesn't do that as much? #...unless it reset while i wasn't looking which could be an explanation #a middle way seems to be playing with brightness and overexposure a little so it's tolerable on both TV and PC screens #but i have no idea what it looks like on better hardware #my phone is happy with all variants because if it's too dark i just blame my insanely low background lighting settings #anyway #one day i'll have the space and the money for better screens and maybe i'll change my approach to these then
