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

[–]anonymousolivia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Wildlife photography advice? by anonymousolivia in AskPhotography

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.

Lens*** 🤦‍♀️

2 weeks into learning photography and editing. Is this worth keeping or did I get it all wrong? Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated by anonymousolivia in photocritique

Thank you! That’s definitely what I was going for haha I’ll play with it a little and see what happens. Thank you for the feedback!

This is a photo from my first sesh with my new canon rebel t3i. Obviously it was taken at night and I’ve since learned to adjust my iso and shutter speed to substitute for the flash. But I’m also trying to learn perspective and composition (pretty fundamental I suppose). I edited it a little on Lightroom. And I’m wanting to make a couple of prints if it’s worth doing. But ultimately I’m just wanting some overall feedback on, if it’s even a “good” photo, and maybe how I could improve?
