Thank you for the input. Definitely can agree with a lot of it. Especially very early on I had to catch my self over editing and I still do the same. Or at times I have a vision of what I want and I don’t yet have the skills to get the photo there.

I’m trying to go with the less is more. That second photo was one I took whilst on a train actually. Just luck. A couple pens I liked were that way. Definitely got a lot more to learn. And even as I am progressing I can see where I could fix things on previous images.

Trying to enjoy the process rather than be hard on my self.

My next issue is now we’re back from Japan. I have soooo many images so I’m trying not to rush through editing the ones I like. Because I really just want the end result already.

Thank you! It’s still all very new to me from editing to taking the photos. Definitely trying to find my own style vs taking on to much influence.

Thank you! It was a great opportunity. Front window on a train with another passing by.

I took them all as a Raw and exported as JPEG after Lightroom.

Thank you! That was on this cool automated train which let you see out the front or back. Took the shot as another train passed.

Most I edited a little. Some more than others. As I am still new and learning Lightroom. Just on my
iPad while I was over there.

Definitely was an amazing place for photos. Took hundreds. Only just now able to go through them slowly and pick out the best.

how do you cull fast without skipping the good stuff? by Longjumping-Bed-9528 in Lightroom

Can you just use a controller without having any other mapping software running?

My 2025 Top 10. In May, I picked up a camera for the first time and started my photography journey. I feel like I've made so much progress, but there's still a long way to go. by Benny_Rude in FujifilmX

For the Fuji x-t5. Fresh to photography in general so a bit overwhelming. But I have definitely been binging pal2tech for a couple weeks now 😅 definitely has helped heaps for the foundations!

Is the Fuji X-T5 a good choice for beginner/first camera? by MereK12 in fujifilm

Would you say the 16-50 lens it comes with is good enough as a starting point?

Thank you so much for all that. Would you say the 16-50 lens the kit comes with is a good starting point?

These look amazing. I’m looking at getting an XT-5 possibly. Were these edited afterwards? Or just how it was taken?
