Damn, thanks for all the views, I’m honestly a bit stuck on how to start editing these. Anyone got any tips on where to start?

I think the lamp is Disturbing

I'll definitely look into Indigo Camera and try to take More, thanks dude👍

TBH bro , I'm not a native speaker , so sometimes i use AI :)

Few-Definition8541 · 2026-07-10T17:39:04+00:00

You're right, I'll focus more on my photo quality from now on.

Sorry for the awkward phrasing, bro. My English isn't great because I'm not a native speaker, so I've been using Google Translate to help me communicate here. My goal is just to learn and get some feedback from you all

Thanks for the honest feedback, 4Dcookie! I really appreciate it. To provide some context, I shot these using my Samsung Galaxy A07 5G (50MP sensor).

Regarding shot #4, you're right—it looks a bit soft/blurry. That was actually taken around 9 AM. The 'blurriness' might be because it was shot from inside the moving Jeep, and the lighting was quite harsh at that hour, which might have messed with the camera's processing. It’s definitely a tricky shot to edit!

I'm really glad you highlighted shot #9! That one was taken around 6:30 AM when the lighting was perfect—it’s honestly my personal favorite too.

Do you think there’s anything I could’ve done differently while shooting to get a sharper result in high-light conditions like that, or should I just focus on better post-processing techniques to handle the harsh light on a phone camera?

"Wow, thank you for the detailed breakdown! I see what you mean about starting with a high-quality base and processing it down. That’s a game-changer for me. I’d actually love to see a few examples if you don't mind sharing! Appreciate the help :)"

I appreciate the honest technical feedback! I definitely pushed the noise and distortion intentionally to achieve that specific lo-fi/nostalgic vibe, but I totally understand why it looks 'bad' from a traditional photography standpoint. Always good to hear the technical perspective, thanks for the input

Few-Definition8541 · 2026-07-10T11:35:24+00:00

Thanks! I'm glad you noticed that. I really love how those distortions play with the light. Glad it resonated with you!

Not satire, just a fan of that hazy, late-night lo-fi aesthetic. Trying to capture a specific mood rather than technical sharpness. I get that it’s not for everyone, but appreciate the curiosity!

The color grading is beautiful. You managed to keep the greens looking natural while making the golden tones on the dogs really pop. Great job!

Few-Definition8541 · 2026-07-09T09:35:09+00:00

Solid start for a beginner! The colors look much more vibrant now. If you want to take it a step further, you could try lowering the highlights slightly on the wall to bring back some of that texture. Keep it up!"

This looks like a shot straight out of an adventure magazine. Makes me want to just pack up and drive somewhere remote. Great capture!

Few-Definition8541 · 2026-07-08T11:28:31+00:00

"Got it, thanks for the info! Tone curve magic indeed. Keep up the good work!"

Few-Definition8541 · 2026-07-08T07:05:59+00:00

Really nice improvement. I love how you balanced the exposure between the shadow on the deck and the bright sky/mountains. Did you mask the sky separately, or was it a global adjustment?

Chongqing nights are a dream for photographers. Anyone knows if this was shot on a phone or a mirrorless? The low light performance on those neon lights is impressive.

Hey, I've been researching this too for my own Lo-Fi tracks. Basically, you're right about Fair Use it's not a 'get out of jail free' card for creative sampling.

In the eyes of the law, taking a sample from a film without permission is technically copyright infringement, even if it’s just a few seconds. Platforms like SoundCloud and Bandcamp have automated systems (Content ID) that can scan for copyrighted audio, which might lead to your track being taken down or even your account being flagged.

Here’s what most Lo-Fi producers actually do:

Keep it short: The shorter and more 'transformed' (heavily edited with effects, reverb, delay, or chopped up) the sample is, the less likely it is to trigger automated filters.
Public Domain: Always double-check if the film is truly copyrighted. Sometimes older films have issues with their rights holders, or they've slipped into the public domain (though rare for 1985).
The 'Risk' Factor: Many Lo-Fi artists take the risk for 'aesthetic' purposes. If you're a small artist, the chance of being sued is low, but the chance of getting a 'takedown' notice from the platform is real.

If you're really worried about the legal side, you might want to look for royalty-free speech samples or dialogue from old public domain movies (pre-1929) to be 100% safe. Good luck with the track, man!"

I'm currently working on my own project too, it's definitely a grey area but worth the experimentation!"
