I have not studied anything about photography and I don't own a professional camera. But I think I'll be changing that soon. I just occasionally come across things and sceneries where I wish my eyes where the camera that could capture them. So I could share them with others.

Astro photography need advice

start to notice recently that when I capture more details of the ground, it feels more unreal and “put there” somehow. So is the edge of of the sky like if I managed to eliminate most of the light pollution it feels unnatural. How do I find a balance point? How to unify the brightness, the white balance etc between the sky and the ground?

Still new! How'd I do? The clouds behind the monument just felt really stark.

Amateur photographer here

I use my gf's point and shoot camera and have over the years taught myself framing/editing. I only recently had the epiphany that I want to fully invest in my hobby.

I got this shot with a Canon SX700 hs and want to get a Fujifilm XT50, because of the similarity in weight/size.

Do I have what it takes, and should I begin my photography journey? Or am I a hack?

Looking for feedback.

This is an unedited image. It is a simple balcony of an old building in an old neighbourhood of Mumbai. It is decorated for the festival of Diwali which is being celebrated in this part of the world. The house seemed otherwise spartan except for the simple, almost staid, decoration. I feel it evokes nostalgia and a kind of quaint charm. Even the lantern is quite old fashioned. Let me know your feedback.

Sunny day near Bundestag, Berlin ☂️

In this picture, I tried to play with contrast. I relatively gray building on the background contrasts good with person’s violet umbrella.

Feedback on my post processing of this infrared photo of Antigua Guatemala.

Photo was taken using an infrared filter overlooking Antigua. Can I get feedback on where I can improve? Worried I may have overdone some of the contrast.

Help needed

Hi! I’m an amateur photographer and I have recently started taking photos of bands at my local venue (since about June). I’m struggling to produce high quality photos in the low light conditions with my limited equipment (due to low $). I’m using a Kodak Pixpro AZ528. It has no manual focus which isn’t ideal but I’m not sure that’s my main issue. The attached pic (ISO 1600, 3.5 Aperture, 1/100 shutter speed) isn’t the worst I’ve taken but it’s pretty bad, shockingly it’s one of the better ones I took that night (Halloween lol). I’m struggling to find the right balance with Manual mode and keep resorting to Aperture mode which is not helping me. I’ve taken plenty of much better quality photos in similar conditions, but for the most part the majority of my photos are unusable. I’m currently limited to my pixpro and until I’m financially able to get better suited equipment, I need to make the most with what I’ve got. With low light and fast moving objects, I’m struggling to reduce noise and improve focus. I’m unable to attach more pictures for comparison, but any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
