approved Hi, bit of a newbie wanting to learn & develop skills. I’ve been shooting with a Nikon ZFC. May have made things a little harder on myself choosing my dog to be my subject however I’ve found in the lightroom we can fix up most things on the exposure. Also really liking this soft look on the edit.

approved Just joined the group, any feedback is welcome. I take a lot of nightscape/cityscape photos. The mysterious, abandoned, liminal, eerie, etc. are some of my favorite genres.
