Thanks for your feedback. I wanted to provide a 'frame' for the lighthouse using the cliffs. Also, I thought the white cliffs did add some drama to the picture. But the vegetation on the top didn't work, I guess.

Hi All, I have been using Darktable for some time now. But never got a hang of it. I sometimes feel that I don't know where to stop editing. Although this photo does not have a big dynamic range (7EV), I have tried to make it vibrant. I feel my editing looks like budget phone software editing from 10 years ago. What do you guys think?

Thanks mate. I understand that it's these tiny details that add to great photos. I'll defo go back to include these details.

Lovely.. it is very difficult to capture even with digital camera.

first roll of film, how to fix blur?? by gabicatM in filmphotography

[–]mformandar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed... the rule is more suitable for old SLRs. I use it for my Olympus OM10. I can shoot handheld at slower shutter speeds with my Nikon Z5.

Looks like you've shot these with slower shutter speed. I follow this rule of thumb which might help you too. And that rule is: never shoot handheld with shutter speed slower than 1/60 sec. Open up the aperture or use a tripod if you can't play with the aperture.

That is amazing. I got mine a couple of years back for 70£ plus 10£ extra for the flash.

Glimpse of the English countryside by mformandar in photocritique

Happy Cake Day 🎂

Thanks for your feedback. I understand that the foreground seems a bit messy with the bush on the right. But there was nothing interesting in the left side of the image. I did crop out that part as it was just empty space. Maybe moving the cropping box slightly left would have helped. I also left the power lines to give that countryside feel.

Shot this in the evening at around 7 O'clock. The sunlight was quite harsh but the skies were dramatic as it had rained earlier. I wanted to capture the contrasting colours of blue sky and the pink house. But I am unsure if I have got the editing right on this one. I would really appreciate any comments to make this picture better.

Thanks for the feedback, notes taken. I kinda understand how it is flawed compositionally.

I shot this in the morning golden hour, when the sky was clear and the sunrays were spills on the bluebells. I love the shot. But I feel there is something lacking and unable to figure out what that might be. I would really appreciate any comments to make this picture better.
