@bennett-family thanks, I will 🙂
@bennett-family yes it has 🙂
I’ve tried to shoot in manual several times, but most of the photos never turn out super great because I don’t know the ‘system’ (for-lack-of-a-better- word) super well. Sometimes I just go outside and randomly take pictures of random things to experiment, and I have learned things a lot of things by doing that- but for the most part, I shoot in aperture priority mode 🙂 But I do want to learn manual mode better, because I do think that it will come in handy someday!
@jamesstaddon thanks! I think so too 🙂
@buddingphotographer that’s true… My mom took a photo the last time that we were at the beach (it was with her iPhone) with the sun was towards the right of the photo and it made the picture look a lot more realistic…of course, an iPhone camera is NOT the same as a DSLR, but your comment made me remember the way the sun was positioned and decide that I’ll try that next time with my camera, and see if it makes the any photo better. Also, your photo edit and @joshua_ong’s photo edit were both very close to the actual sunrise 🙂
@jamesstaddon thanks for that link to the video. I did a quick edit and tried to replicate your photo and this is how it turned out. I feel like it’s kinda similar aside from the fact that my corners are a tad darker than yours. I tried lightning them up a bit, but it wasn’t exactly working. unfortunately. Anyway, here it is 🙂Attachments:
@jamesstaddon, thank you!
@buddingphotographer thanks for the tips:) I’ll have to experiment with different settings on my camera so that photos aren’t underexposed… I’m still learning, so everything is trial and error for me!
@joshua_ong your screenshot does help, thanks:) Editing isn’t super difficult for me, it’s just a matter of figuring out what all the different sliders and such do 😉you too, @joshua_ong!
btw @joshua_ong I looked at that link with the sunrise/sunset info on it and it really helped. I hope that we go to the beach again soon so that I can test out all the suggestion mentioned there. Thanks again:)
@joshua_ong thanks for the tips. I’ll have to try putting the rule of thirds on my camera display. I don’t think that I’ve ever done that before, so hopefully it’ll help. Hope you have a Merry Christmas:)
Yeah I thought it might have been to dark, but didn’t really think much of it. I’ll try to straighten the horizon, it’s hard for me to get it perfectly straight because I never have my tripod with me so the photos are always handheld. Thank you for the tips, William!
And the edit looks much better, Ernest!
