  • I’ve been roasting my own lately, in a popcorn popper. It’s cheap, quick, fun, actually decent if I don’t completely mess it up, and occasionally even surprisingly good (as in, “I’d pay $20 for a bag of this”). Because of the size of the popcorn popper, I only roast ~100g at a time, so lots of experimentation with roast times, etc. I definitely go on the lighter side.




  • Very cool! Thanks for the details. It’s fun to hear about others’ workflows. Good call to underexpose it. A lot of the videos I’ve watched, they will bracket exposures and treat them separately… but honestly I’ve found if I shoot raw I don’t need to most of the time. Is LR pretty good at masking? I left the Adobe suite a few years ago and have been on Affinity Photo (basically the same as PS). I use a lot of luminosity masks, which I don’t remember if LR has some “smart” way to do that (e.g. “select all the bright stuff”). Anyway… nice work!
