Recently I got interested into photography, and the photo I took are with a iPhone. So any feedback is appreciated thank you very much : )

wispy lantern
#

which generation of iphone are you working with?

stone tundra
#

just the regular

wispy lantern
#

your iphone 13 can shoot natively in RAW

stone tundra
#

wym by that?(sorry new to this)

wispy lantern
#

nevermind the stock version cant

#

what feedback are you looking for your images specifically?

stone tundra
#

ahhh i just want to know if there is anything that I can improve for photo 1 especially I try to make it like a bit spooky

#

but it ended up differently which i kinda like

#

photo 2 and 3 I kinda just went along with it and focus on enviroment from a low angle

for the first comp

#

the road is your central object in this framing

#

at least, the things beside dont offer much of any interest

#

if such an object is your focus, and it can be centered in your framing, its better to center it to the middle of your frame when you capture your image

#

centering in this case referring to keep it centered on the x axis. you move it anyway you like along the y axis depending on your composition

#

having a central object and leaving it off center just introduces negative space into your framing, wherever there is nothing of interest

#

if i could retake the image, id crop in further / use a longer focal length

stone tundra
#

Ahhhh i see thank you very much.

#

In that case try and create more balanced lighting

#

If you want the mood to be darker you can do that in post processing

#

Also try to find subjects in photos, whether that be person or object

stone tundra
#

wait i dont know any photo edit techinque

wispy lantern
#

if you intend to take editing further, you're gonna want to look for capturing raw images

glossy basalt
#

Ah definetly

wispy lantern
#

you're on the 13 stock, which sadly does not support native apple RAW

glossy basalt
#

Really?

#

Thought it did

wispy lantern
#

apple moment

#

only pro and pro max allows

stone tundra
#

glossy basalt
#

There are 3rd party apps tho no?

wispy lantern
#

yeah

#

lightroom mobile is the easiest rec

#

allows you to capture DNG raw

glossy basalt
#

Yea definetly

stone tundra
#

so raw image is always the best for editing and taking photo in general?

glossy basalt
#

Yea

#

It takes in more information

stone tundra
#

ok thanks very much

glossy basalt
#

Yea

wispy lantern
#

yep

glossy basalt
#

Best photo editing software

wispy lantern
#

keep in mind the full suite is subscription based

glossy basalt
#

Ah yes, its quite pricy, what is it $300 a year?

wispy lantern
#

but for working with photo editing, you want nothing less than working with RAW files (unless you know what you're doing with jpegs)

stone tundra
#

what about Adobe Creative Cloud?

#

im a college student so it free

wispy lantern
#

gotta need to read up a little on lightroom suite

glossy basalt
stone tundra
#

ohhhhh

glossy basalt
#

Its owned by adobe

wispy lantern
#

i remember it being able to capture raw on the non paid version

stone tundra
#

The raw is just default setting right?

wispy lantern
#

DNG means RAW

#

you should read up a little first on what RAW is and why it matters

stone tundra
#

ok thanks very much

wispy lantern
#

RAW editing is a skill to learn

#

take your time with it, keep shooting more

#

also, check out LR mobile editing tutorials online / on youtube

#

slowly go from there - dont expect to be able to use it well straight off on your first use

stone tundra
#
