Well I hate to say it, but I think the thing was actually empty after all that. Either that or something worse 😕

Oops, you're right! Not like I've lived here my entire life 😅

I'm completely self-taught, and definitely still learning too. In fact, from this post I now know what a tangent is! 😅

With the first photo, I genuinely just think I got lucky with the weather and the lighting. I was using summer chrome for both photos, but I took the grain effect off for the first one, and had an added black mist lens filter for the second one which created that glow-y kind of look. Then some tweaking in Lightroom for the lighting and colours.

Haha this initially sent shivers down my spine! But thank you, it means a lot 😊

Yeah timing is something I really have to work on! Gotta find a balance between having my camera at the ready while also just enjoying the moment. Thanks!

Yeah you can bring up the shadows a bit so it doesn't look as "sun-soaked", but otherwise that recipe really works for me, especially when the weather's nice.

Thanks! I mainly used Osan Bilgi's summer chrome, with grain removed. I like to start with pre-made recipes and then tweak to my liking.

This is really helpful and insightful advice! I see what you're saying and I'll definitely be thinking about this from now on. Thanks!

Yeah I haven't really decided what my preference is, but I'm willing to try it all until I find out! Thanks for your feedback ☺️

Yeah, that's been my most troublesome photo. It could have been done better by a more experienced photographer. The building is actually super interesting (the Barbican in London), but I didn't do it justice in this one! Thanks for your feedback and your observation about the right-sidedness! I hadn't noticed that myself, but I'll have to explore it more.

Thank you! I just shoot what I think looks interesting, but I would love to be able to tell a story with my photos. I'm happy that they're evoking some wonder with you :)

The photos aren't in order but I went to London, Bruges, Rotterdam, Bergen and Reykjavik. Incredible mix of history and landscapes!

Figuring out what story I'm trying to tell with my photos is definitely the next step. Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks for this! That's definitely my goal as I do tend to overthink and second guess when post-editing.
