As a fellow traveler I can attest it can be hard to let go of control, especially when you have lofty goals to see certain landmarks. Thanks for mentioning this! The photos turned out great too.
I’ve never edited anything in my life; no photos, nothing, because it always seemed unnatural so I never learned how. My husband brought the expensive camera on our trips and he knew how to do all that fancy stuff to make the photos “shine.”
But after years of vacations and hundreds of photos essentially side by side, he agreed that a lot of my unaltered ones were just as good, and he rarely takes his big camera and oversized lenses on our outings anymore.
Nowadays things are starting to look more and more unnatural with all the different things people can do. I want reality.
Its a lot less stressful to do this. One of the great joys of shooting a lot of film in the past 2 years is it really simplifies my post processing. And this has directly translated into how I now work with files from my digital camera. I find one image I really like, spend no more that 10 minutes in post, and then apply those edits to the rest of my selection.
Interesting take. Letting go off control is an interesting exercise. As photographers we tend to want to control everything.
I've also started to not edit my photos apart from monochrome conversion if I decide to shoot b&W. It's liberating: embrace the imperfection, go with the flow, let things happen.

I'm a fujifilm film shooter myself and I love using the custom film simulation to create my images and sharing as is.
Great set of images, I like the colour processing
indeed!!
thanks!

Exactly. It's so much more peaceful.
I really enjoyed shooting this trip.

Let's see where it leads you.
Yup, so much more joy from shooting.
Just getting the jpg's off the memory card and that's it.
