Same story as yesterday! I kinda chose a bad time to start this project because next week is finals weeks and I don't have much time to go out and take new pictures, so here's an edit of a picture I previously posted! This was taken before I knew about taking in raw and editing, so I've done my best to improve this as much as possible!
Exposure Settings:
Aperture: f/10 Shutter Speed: 1/80s ISO: 1000 Focal Length: 50mm
Information:
I have to post one picture every day, I can take pictures in advance, in case I'm unable to take a picture for whatever reason (vacation, weather, idk) but I still have to post once per day.
I can't post pictures of the same thing within like, a week or two, idk, I might get rid of this "rule" if I feel like it.
Don't be afraid to give me any feedback on any of my pictures, I'm still veeery new to photography and would love any feedback given.
Gear:
Canon EOS Rebel t2i
18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 EFS zoom lens
55-250mm f/4-5.6 EFS zoom lens
Pictures are taken in RAW, processed in Darktable and GIMP, then converted to webp and compressed to 70% quality.
If you'd like a higher (or full) quality image, just ask me in the replies or dms, I'll happily send it when I get a chance. If you don't specify a file format or quality, I'll just send a jpeg at 90% quality (or whatever necessary to get a reasonable file size). You can also totally ask for the version of the image before edits.
Also, you're free to do anything you want with any of my pictures, just don't claim you were the one to take it :)
Nice!
Perhaps it could be cropped a little closer - for instance, to me, the far left of the photo is getting so blurred it's ceases being a good backdrop.
Also, bear in mind there's no rule that says the centre of the focus (or indeed, centre of interest) has to be in the exact centre of the photo. Indeed, there's an "The Rule of Thirds" suggesting the centre of the photo is entirely the wrong place for the centre of interest. Personally, I let my personal taste guide me in balancing the composition, for better or worse, neither always centring, yet not always avoiding it.
