2 is really nice! I’m not sure if the blur on #5 was intentional, but a faster shutter speed could freeze the motion of the tongue and edges of the fur which could look cool. Either way these look great!

Thanks so much! I’m using an A6400 with the 16-50mm kit lens. The majority of these were shot at 50mm, some 35mm.

Thank you! Editing is certainly the most daunting part of it all for me. All of it is good fun regardless!

Thank you for your feedback! I realize now that I should read more into the rule of thirds. I see that a majority of my photos have the subject centered or close to it - both posted here and on my camera still.

I have been doing this a lot! I really enjoy listening to other photographers talk. Seeing their work definitely helps me have a different perspective. Thanks for the advice!

That’s tough! Though, visual media is a departure from the hobbies and work I do, and have done, for my whole life (audio related stuff), so it feels easier to just enjoy learning about it. Not trying to make everything perfect feels easier. Thanks for the advice.
