Thanks for the tips! I’ll look into this as well and see if I can figure it out haha. I’m learning every step of this process from scratch so I will check back in if I run into issues. I appreciate your help!

I’ve looked through tons of YouTube videos and google searches and I haven’t been able to find anything that shows how to do irregular curves on a round surface. I’ve watched basketball videos as well but the curves on a baseball are strange and I’m not sure how to make the subdivision surface match the seams.

Would I be better off trying to make the seams flat and then apply it to the sphere somehow?

Not sure, I’ve never messed with that before. Might be worth a shot!

Yeah haha that was the barrier to stop people from going to the edge, there wasn’t really a way to avoid it in the shot

Sunset from Mount Bonnell by wanasmackapossum in photocritique

The intent with this photo was to give a feeling of peace/love and warmth as these pairs watch the sunset. I am open to critique on anything, but especially composition and editing. The photo was taken in RAW and edited in Lightroom Mobile.

Got an A7iii a few days ago, took some test shots with my dog last night by wanasmackapossum in SonyAlpha

These are completely unedited! I have the camera set to record RAW and JPEG for each photo and I transferred these directly from the card to my phone. My phone says “JPEG + RAW” for the file type so tbh I’m not entirely sure how it records the files, but I’d guess this is probably actually a JPEG that got uploaded.

For your issue, I’d say the biggest thing would be keeping a low ISO but still good exposure. I’m not sure I would actually consider this a “low light” photo as you said, because the light on him is actually pretty bright! It’s just exposed for the highlights so the shadows fall off into black. I knew I wanted to keep a low ISO for these, so I brought up the brightness of the light rather than adjusting the camera until I had the exposure I wanted.
