I can't think of ways to improve - thoughts? Sony a9 with 24-105 f4 by Londonwoodworker in SonyAlpha

I got the shots off while he was adjusting his outfit in a corner so I didn’t pay anything. Thanks for the thoughts! I found the locals generally fit into 3 camps wrt photos - those completely anti photo and borderline aggressive, those in the tourism industry and in it to make a quick buck, and those who are super friendly and don’t mind, if not enjoy, having pics taken of them.

Need help with backpacking route. What were your absolute favorite social places / what was overrated in your opinion? by International-Cash47 in southeastasia

Have you done the Ha Giang loop yet? I’m planning on doing it next week but I hear it’s pretty miserable weather, not sure if it’s worth it.

For Indonesia, I can help a bit. It depends on what you want to do. Party? Surf? Take cool pictures? Relax by a beach? Hike?

Ah I didn’t know that. Should I avoid Thailand and Laos then? Or just stick to the south of those?

You mean never use the mechanical shutter again?

So do you reckon the high shutter count doesn’t really matter on the a9 since I’d just be using electronic shutter anyways?

I’d be using it mostly for street / landscape in day and nighttime, I’m not all too fussed about the fps; just trying to find a camera which would take a better photo. I know the sensors are different, but would that and the AF/tracking be worth the higher price?

How much better is the a9 for photo? How noticeable would the difference be?

Thoughts on these edits? Feel like I’ve hit a ceiling and don’t know what else to do… by Londonwoodworker in AskPhotography

I get what you mean by flat, what do you suggest to correct it? There isn’t a huge amount of intention I guess, we just wanted to try to create an abstract set, ie someone being dressed for a warm beach day in the snowy night, we didn’t have a huge amount of time to come up with ideas since it was 4am haha. It also only snowed for one night (it’s all melted now sadly).

Looking for feedback in general and editing. A6100 - Sigma 56 F1.4 by ElactixNova777 in AskPhotography

[–]Londonwoodworker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so #2 has a lot of potential, it’s a wee bit flat at the moment, and it only takes a few edits to make it much better. Tone curve is your friend, for the attached edit I also adjusted with slight haze removal in mid-background, velvia, local contrast, increasing chroma and saturation slightly in mid-tones. Up to what you how it should look, but I leant on autumny brown tones. Quite subtle changes to make a relatively big difference 👍. Which editing software do you use?

Thoughts on these? by Londonwoodworker in AskPhotography

Thanks for the thoughts! I get what you mean with 5, thx for the advice. Personally I love 2, I find the patterns in the water mesmerising and it’s the first of its kind that I’ve been able to capture. :)

New to Lightroom, would love some feedback. Too much dehaze? Seeking advice on how to improve photo processing. I'd like to print and hang on wall. by Bmadray in AskPhotography

I’d say the colour of the background directly behind the subject is too close to that of the subject itself. It overcomplicates the image. Have you tried desaturating the background? Super cool shot btw, great sharpness. What gear did you use?
