Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it, and if I manage to pass just a portion of the energy, it's a huge compliment for me as I'm still just playing with my mobile phone camera, trying to take out of it most possible according to my current knowledge (that I would describe as the first grade of amateur-ish). 😄
You are doing great in my opinion!
I'm also still learning...so let's learn together...lol.
hahaha - Well, why not?! 😀
Are you using some "normal" camera or trying some mumbo-jumbo with a mobile phone camera as I do? 😅
I also started out with just taking photos with a mobile phone camera.
My youngest daughter is seriously into photography though and when she heard about me starting to share photos here and enjoying it, she gave me a NIKON camera on a loan basis to get familiar with it.
But I still know the bare minimum about it and I am still just sticking to the basics. she is also teaching me now about editing with Photoshop and Lightroom.
I have a LOT to learn, but I must admit, I'm enjoying the process.
Oh man, you are in an advanced group with a private teacher. 😀
And when it comes to Photoshop & Lightroom, I would love to use them, but for my occasional amateurish photography, I find it a bit too expensive at the moment.
Besides, I'm also kinda avoiding too much editing, so more or less, my photos are pretty raw.
hahaha...Yes, I appreciate my daughter very much!
If you want to start playing around with some of these programs...I started by downloading Lightroom on my phone from Google Play. I used Adobe Lightroom. It's free.
I told my daughter about you and she also gave me this link to share with you. These are all free programs that you can start playing around with and start using before you start using Photoshop.
There is no need to look at any of these...it's only to play around with and have a look at it now without having to spend any money. But it's totally up to you.
Enjoy!!
WOW - Thank you so much, Jaco!
I will surely try to see what I can do with Pixlr and Photopea (I heard about this last one before, but didn't try it yet) from the list of Photoshop alternatives on the page from the link you gave me.
Yesterday, I went on the Lightroom page to check again, but there was only a paid version available (apparently for the PC). I didn't know that I could download a free version of it directly on my phone through Google Play.
So, when I saw your message, I didn't wait. I went there, downloaded the app, installed it, and here is my first try with Lightroom (probably not the best one, as I was too excited) and my almost always ready for shooting model. 😉 😀
Thank you so much, again!!! 😊
It's only a pleasure! I'm glad I could help...
And this is an awesome photo!! I just love your model!
I am so glad to see your excitement! Just have fun and enjoy playing around with it! That's what I do ...
If you want and you are battling with something, I don't promise anything though, as I said, I'm also still learning...but I'll try to pass on some tips where I can if you want me to...
