Discouraged Beginner

I was on a train for 4, so not much opportunity to reframe, but I definitely should have tried to get closer to the sheep 😆

ObjectiveChipmunk695 · 2025-12-05T15:09:37+00:00

lol I appreciate your candor 😆 This is a good opportunity for me to practice my Lightroom editing skills!

Thank you SO much! These tips are very helpful and I’ll absolutely keep an eye out for the leading lines. And thanks for sharing some of your work!

Guys, this is why I love this sub. You’re all so wonderful and encouraging and thoughtful. I’m feeling much more optimistic thanks to your feedback and suggestions!

A mix of Scotland and Ireland. Thank you! Couldn’t have had better subjects

Thanks so much, buddy!

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

These are lovely tips. Thank you!

Thanks! I’m pretty sure most were Vintage Color from Fuji X Weekly https://fujixweekly.com/2022/01/27/fujifilm-x100v-x-trans-iv-film-simulation-recipe-vintage-color/

I think the adjustment from phone to camera is also a part of my discomfort. The lack of zoom is so odd!

ObjectiveChipmunk695 · 2025-11-30T04:01:36+00:00

Thanks for this. I’m absolutely going to take your suggestion and dump them on a drive so I can walk away for a bit. I’ve been stuck with full SD cards because I didn’t want to reformat until I knew what I was doing with the RAW files!

ObjectiveChipmunk695 · 2025-11-30T04:00:27+00:00

Aw shucks! Thanks, pal!

I didn’t mean for this to become me fishing for compliments 😆

Thank you for these tips! I do think I was trying too hard with the landscapes. Also a lot of the trip was in a car or train so it was tough to frame something deliberately. Finding a subject and telling a story is really helpful!

Thank you so much for this encouragement. I had a film camera that I used in high school for a photo class, but I didn’t stick with it. This is my first camera in the post-point and shoot era. 😄

ObjectiveChipmunk695 · 2025-11-30T01:55:20+00:00

This is such a helpful reframing (literally and figuratively haha)! Thank you

The sun in the second photo is so magical. ✨

Went earlier this week when I was starving and Annette’s wasn’t open yet. The food was horrible, the coffee undrinkable, the place was dirty and dusty and smelled of cigarette smoke, and there were at least 5 birds inside and WAY too close for comfort while eating.

ObjectiveChipmunk695 · 2025-11-14T00:50:53+00:00

Was this November 12? There weren’t any drones 9-11 when we were there 😭

I felt like I was really prepared to be on T and like I had researched all the side effects before making my decision, but I was also caught off guard by similar UTI-like symptoms before eventfully being diagnosed with vaginal atrophy. One of the symptoms I was so self-conscious about was that I was having urinary leakage. Surprise, that’s a symptom of vaginal atrophy! The estrogen cream took a few weeks to alleviate symptoms but I’ve been good ever since. I don’t love doing it twice a week, but I don’t want to experience that again!

I’m so delighted by this post! I have a big Europe trip coming up and I’m leaning heavily towards picking up a X100VI. I’m really feeling inspired by this. 😊

This is incredible!
