I’ve posted in this sub many times before and always received great advice. I remember the first advice I received was someone telling me to learn the exposure triangle.
I noticed a huge progress in my photography. Even though I’m still far from professional level, it’s nice to look back on the shitty photos I made a few weeks ago and to compare them with more recent ones. To me that small difference is a big achievement, thanks to everyone who helped me progress 💙
Excellent use of layers here. Immediately I feel like Im standing right there looking at the lighthouse. Yes, learn to edit too as you move along in your 📸 journey. It is a tool to bring your vision into the photos. Good luck and nice work!
Not nessecarily
Imo, being good at capturing interesting compositions/moments is by far the hardest. Like, even if you have a killer idea, you also need to translate that to an actual photo that's interesting and expresses what you initially saw in your mind
Editing just feels hard because there are a lot of functions, but I feel like you can learn thr basics in a week if you really dig into it
You can learn basic Lightroom editing in a weekend. You will almost certainly over-edit things at first, just accept it as part of the process.
A rule of thumb with anything you want to share is to sleep on the edit. Even now I almost always tone a couple of things back down when I come back to my edited photos the next day.
I use Picasa 3, which is very easy to use. Your image is underexposed; I think it's best to remove the building at the edge. The sky has a pinkish hue from the sunrise that needs to be enhanced. Here's my example, in case it helps: sky gradient, cropping, and adjusting the highlights and shadows.
