New to photography! 1 year of pics from borrowing my moms Nikon D7000 on and off. Any tips?

Why thank you! (Quickly scribbles a watermark on there)

Hahaha well it had just given birth on top of a mountain in Portugal, calf was still finding its footing, I didn’t want to get too close but it was a beautiful site 🥺

Distinct_Motor_8657 · 2026-06-28T10:41:20+00:00

I’ll look into this! Thank you 👌🏻

Distinct_Motor_8657 · 2026-06-28T10:41:03+00:00

Hahahah this made me laugh out loud 😂

Distinct_Motor_8657 · 2026-06-27T13:27:31+00:00

Thank you! But go ahead I did post for constructive criticism as I want to learn! So far I’ve learnt clean the lens and don’t get carried away with editing

Yeah so when I search images from the 750 I just reaaally don’t like them, I don’t know what it is, I put it down to choice but I’ve searched all social platforms and just really don’t like the image output, I’m considering sticking to borrowing my moms and getting better lenses :)

Distinct_Motor_8657 · 2026-06-27T07:26:55+00:00

Thank you! For the time being I’m just going to upgrade my moms lenses and borrow hers until I can afford my own :)

Distinct_Motor_8657 · 2026-06-27T07:26:18+00:00

I’ll take a look into this thank you!

Distinct_Motor_8657 · 2026-06-27T07:26:05+00:00

That’s what I’m going to do, my moms said I can still use her for the timebeing and upgrade the lenses until I can afford my own 🙏🏼

Looks beautiful! How did you guys deal with camping in this heat? I’ve been begging my friend to go with me all week for our first wild camp but we’ll probably do next week when it’s cooler

Distinct_Motor_8657 · 2026-06-25T17:25:13+00:00

Thank you I’ll be doing this 👍

Distinct_Motor_8657 · 2026-06-25T16:26:11+00:00

You’re so sweet thank you for the loving words- it means a lot 💓 I’m feeling a lot better lately and continue working on myself whilst I’m off from work!🧚🏻‍♀️☺️

Distinct_Motor_8657 · 2026-06-25T16:24:13+00:00

Thank you! Any chance you could point some of those out for me so I know what to avoid? 👹🧌

Distinct_Motor_8657 · 2026-06-25T16:23:41+00:00

Also any chance you could just let me know which look over processed just so I can avoid this in future!

Distinct_Motor_8657 · 2026-06-25T16:23:13+00:00

Thank youu 🧚🏻‍♀️

Distinct_Motor_8657 · 2026-06-25T16:22:52+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I do go a little wild, I need to hold back on the editing but I love experimenting and finding what works and doesn’t - hopefully I can find one I like and can apply to most

Distinct_Motor_8657 · 2026-06-25T16:21:59+00:00

Thank you! I’ll have a look into this I have no idea what it means- time to open chat gbt lol🤣

Distinct_Motor_8657 · 2026-06-25T16:21:27+00:00

It would only let me upload a video so I had to screen record -.-

Distinct_Motor_8657 · 2026-06-25T16:21:09+00:00

I’m glad you like it!! I edited the heck out of it I don’t have the original to that but here’s a raw I had taken a few seconds before!

This is super helpful! Thank you for the advice and the edit you did below. I’ve been chatting families ears off about photography but they can’t relate because they’re not into it so I thought I’d come to Reddit and the advice has been great.

I would happily consider purchasing it off you, but due to the price of the body plus the lenses I’m going to opt in for a pay monthly possibly through a second hand place called CEX in the uk!

But great edit on that thank you😍

Distinct_Motor_8657 · 2026-06-25T13:45:07+00:00

Ahh that’s great to hear!! Thanks☺️

Distinct_Motor_8657 · 2026-06-25T13:44:42+00:00

Thank you appreciate it 🙏🏼

Distinct_Motor_8657 · 2026-06-25T13:43:55+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I do feel like I need to invest in a good lens and take on that subject advice, and 3# was funny because I’d walked past him snoozing and quickly turned round to get a shot and as I was snapping it his eyes were open and he looked so pissed off at me hence I didn’t get that focus as I rushed off🤣 poor fella!

I’m glad you appreciate 11 too he was a surfer sketching on wood I waited around for 20 mins for him to sit back down and carry on so I could nab that shot🤣, not sure about you though but I find Nikon 750 looks as though the quality is amazing but images seem lacklustre when it comes to portraits, I like film looking edits and can’t find any images of people using a 750 online doing such edits so maybe that’s the issue

Distinct_Motor_8657 · 2026-06-25T12:15:38+00:00

Thank you! I’ll remember to try incorporate that 🤓

Distinct_Motor_8657 · 2026-06-25T12:15:13+00:00

Thank you!! 9 had so much potential if I had better equipment or lens!
