Hello I'm new to this community
I have been taking pictures since I could operate a camera. Up until 2020 I had no professional guidance. In 2019 I went to Ecuador and came back with 16,000 pictures. So I decided to take a black and white photography class using film. Unfortunately COVID changed it to a digital class. My world was turned upside down in 2023 and it resulted in a divorce in 2024 where my ex hid and kept all my camera gear. So im starting from scratch capturing shots with my phone. I take candid, landscape, wildlife, festival/concert photos and really anything that catches my eye. I would appreciate any advice and guidance as my childhood dream is to be published in National Geographic and would love to get there someday. Here are some of my recent pictures.

Sending you hugs on what you have been through but good on you for not letting it stop you from doing something you love. Is there anything specific you need help with? Or anything your stuck on? Always happy to help anyone where I can.

@Nick Stacy mentioned about sharing some of my imagery... starting with the automotive side. Didn't want to put 10000 of images for you to look through but here are a couple with a BTS of a typical location I would photograph in and then the final image. Hope you are all having a great Monday.

Beginner Help?
Hey y'all! I've been trying to take more pictures and practice editing them the past few weeks and I've had some trouble figuring out lighting - while taking photos and while editing. It's just looking so harsh. Especially at the beach where there is no shade. I'm also having trouble getting the color of my photos how I want. There are a lot of blues that don't look very natural. I am new to learning about tone curve and messing with the color circles.

colour balance - when you start, it can be worth getting a grey card to help you know what's correct. Light with portraits and natural light, it's good to look for shade when photographing, so that it's not direct sunlight on faces. It reduces the chance of the client squinting their eyes at you and avoids harsh shadows when photographing multiple people. If it helps, when you are out and about, look at people's faces, where is the shadow falling, is the light shaping the face? making the person look better? worse? This is all without a camera, and it can be so much fun sitting and watching. the same in films or TV programs too. You have done really well with these, though, and the editing looks great. So don't put yourself down, you are doing great.

Looking forward to connecting with yโ€™all and soaking up as much knowledge as I can! ๐Ÿ™Œ
