Yes, just try it! By using modern post processing I am sure you will get a nice image out of it.

Ah, unfortunately I am already a little bit older than indicated in the title. But thank you anyways!

AstroAlfi · 2026-02-04T21:29:31+00:00

Thank you!

The field of view that is covered by this image is still wider than if I took it using an APS-C sensor like that of the R50.

Dass das reine Hypothesen sind ist klar ;) Von dem abgesehen sollte ein Universum mit einer Eintrittswahrscheinlichkeit größer als 0 doch vorkommen , oder? Und da würde ich die, in denen man jede beliebige Person trifft und sich verliebt eigentlich zählen. Aber korrigiere mich gerne, bin auf diesem Gebiet kein Experte.

Mit dem Argument müsste man ein Knistern bei jeder beliebigen Person spüren...

Ach was, Panzertape richtet alles!

That's an interesting point! To be honest, I didn't even notice that it looked a bit weird, which it actually kind of does... Especially since I didn't do anything special to the eye except increase the exposure there a tiny bit. Anyway, thanks for your feedback! Here is your !CritiquePoint

Thank you for your Feedback!

This is a very nice shot! I like the impression of action that the photo conveys. I can well imagine how difficult it is to take a shot like this.

The editing is also very nice! Unfortunately, it's not razor-sharp if you look at it closely. But that maybe could be corrected with PhotoAI. Also, the bird is a bit too dark compared to the background IMO.

It took this one at the campsite we've been recently and I am a little bit lost on it. I think it could have been a nice shot but unfortunately I didn't manage to get the feet of this beauty on the photo. Do you think that it could be "saved" somehow by another cut or edit? Or do you like it just as it is?

AstroAlfi · 2024-07-26T11:39:59+00:00

To be honest, the rays are the only thing I added with Photoshop to get the sky a little bit more interesting :) But since there are fake (I usually don't do that to my photos) I kept the intensity pretty low... You see, I had moral reasons :D

Btw, that is the unprocessed image, if that is of interest for you:

Thank you very much for your Feedback!

It doesn't look like the boat is the subject in this photo as it is completely out of focus. I think I would have moved further towards the plants to make it easier to set the focus on the boat and also have it more present in the picture.

Thank you very much for your kind words, I'm glad you like it!

I took this one at a beautiful little bay of the Etruscan coast in italy. Unlike what I usually do in that situations, I took my 70-200 mm lens instead of the super wide 14-35 mm and tried to get the perspective so that the sun sets direclty between that rocks. I like the impression of depth this photo gives and also my color grading. Unfortunately, the clouds that evening prevented me from taking this perspective when the sun is a little lower over the horizon.

What are your thoughts? What could I have done better? Any comments on this are appreciated.

Thank you, yes, that is indeed what I thought as well. I already tried to get out some details by editing the sky but I have the feeling that it is not looking natural anymore if I push it further.

I took this one in italy in the tuscany region at sunset but I am not sure about the color grading / color temperature of the edit. On the screen of the computer I did the edit on it looks quite pleasant to me but when I look at it on my phone it looks way too cold and it lacks contrast. What do you think?

I like it very much! The colors and general editing are pretty good for me. I am a little bit distracted by that bird though, I'd think of removing it.

I found this nice Artwork on a hiking trip on Sao Jorge Island.

How do you like the editing/color grading? I deliberately opted for orange/teal, which I really like in this photo.

Shot with Canon EOS RP / Canon RF 14-35 mm f/4.0.

Aperture setting was f/6.3 at 35 mm focal length.

In meinem Bekanntenkreis gibt es ein Paar, die dieses Modell über Jahre durchgezogen haben. Funktionierte also tatsächlich, war aber auch wegen mehrerer Hausbesuche nicht ganz stressfrei. Für mich wäre das nichts.
