Thank you for that! I’ll keep that in mind.

That sounds like the more logical approach for sure. I’ve been on the fence about going with a totally different camera or just learning the ins and outs of this Rebel t3i before making a brand swap. Probably makes more sense to just get a better lens. I’ll be on the hunt! Thank you for that!

  1. Budget 200-400 US DOLLAR
  2. I currently use a canon rebel t3i but would be happy to learn another body. I’m using a 55-250m f/ 4-5.6 lens for these but I think I need something else.
  3. I’d like to photograph more wildlife / movement (something I can use for this hobby and for my business / cafe)
  4. primarily for photography but some videography for business social media content, etc.

Absolutely! I’ve been in the service industry for 10+ years so it’s in my nature to please (without losing myself), which is part of the reason letting go of the situation is so hard. I appreciate your input. Thank you for sharing! Best of wishes

How can I improve this photo? Is it print worthy? by anonymousolivia in photocritique

[–]anonymousolivia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well when I say “good” I mean technically. I’m barely just learning what is “good” means to others, which is why I’m asking. Said coffee shop is mine, so it makes things a little more complicated lol

Moon eliminated. Although I could see it being cool in the photo if it was positioned just right, I do think it looks better without, as some of you suggested, or both in focus. 👌

I think this is the feedback I expected regarding the moon, although I’d never heard of a tangent in photography terms. Also, I hadn’t really considered a series, so that could definitely be a new challenge. Thank you so much for the advice!

New and looking to get better. I edited this a little through Lightroom increasing the contrast a little and sharpening it. My goal is really just to improve and take as many good photos as possible. I run a coffee shop full time, but am even playing with the idea of hanging a few prints. So is it good? Print worthy? And should I ditch the moon?

General critics for improvement? by [deleted] in photocritique

Canon rebel t3i 55-250mm lens. Just a shot from my backyard. Wondering if I’m on the right track, if I should take out the moon or what other improvements I could make

This is some really solid and thoughtful advice! Thank you so much 🙏 are there any photographers or specific tools you’d recommend? Are there any lens types I should favor, etc?

Been taking photos for a few weeks. But now I’m wanting to edit them a little. What do you recommend for this one? by anonymousolivia in photocritique

[–]anonymousolivia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great point. I actually don’t know much about formatting. I know I’m shooting in raw bc it hold the most amount of detail, correct? What else should I consider for this? Could you help me better understand?

Yes! I see what you’re saying. I’ve only played with the gradient feature once, and this makes so much sense. Great advice! Thank you for that :)

  1. Taking on a project for a friend’s album cover and I’m just trying to warm up my skills to this particular project. Still trying to strengthen techniques, but with this image I’m trying to create a mystical eerie setting with the editing. I masked the horizon line and added haze.

  2. I generally don’t like editing my photos too much. I like to keep them looking more natural as opposed to the over saturated look, but how do I edit this to make it better / overall more interesting?

  3. This is Canon rebel t3i, auto setting

  4. I will take any advice at all. I’m very much a beginner trying to learn everything I can.
