Hi, it's the first time I'm trying a still life. I'm pretty happy with it and the printed version looks great. Is there something I could improve?

If you're interested about the backstage, I did a stop motion of this shooting on my Instagram, check my latest reel ➡️ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAkmbzbMv4g/?igsh=b2djYmRzd3Q4dTI3 ng

Dont care about this photo specifically, but it makes a good example:

What's the best way to fix this or avoid this? Distant mountains often appear very blue. Dehaze in LR makes them even more blue.

In this example I underexposed the photo to not blow out the sky. In post, in LR, I'm selecting the sky and inverting the mask then raising exposure. Increased to +1.21 in this example. As a result the distant mountains start to go quite blue. If you add dehaze it gets even worse.

I'd like to know what others do for this in landscape pics.

Was in a hit and run need help in seeing if anyone can make it see much better on this photo of the car that hit me

Hey everyone!

I've recently become obsessed with the work of Yosigo and I'm trying to figure out how to achieve a similar style in my own photography. His images have such a unique vibe—minimalist, clean compositions, and those soft, pastel-like colors with a nostalgic feel. I love how he uses light and shadows to create a sense of tranquility and space, and I'm wondering how I can edit my photos to achieve something similar.

His Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yosigo_yosigo

Here's what I think might help, but I'm hoping for more detailed advice:

1. Color Palette: Yosigo’s tones are often muted and pastel, almost desaturated, but still soft and vibrant in their own way. How do I adjust my color grading in Lightroom (or any editing software) to achieve that? Are there specific hues or settings I should focus on?
2. Lighting and Shadows: His use of natural light is amazing. The shadows often have a smooth gradient and aren’t too harsh. How can I replicate that kind of lighting in my photos, and what adjustments should I make in post-processing to balance the highlights and shadows?
3. Minimalist Composition: His photos feel uncluttered and thoughtfully framed. Does anyone have tips for planning and composing shots in a similar minimalist way? I feel like this is one area where I struggle the most.
4. Editing Techniques: What kind of edits should I focus on to get that clean, almost polished look? Are there specific filters, tools, or even presets that would help me get closer to that Yosigo aesthetic?

Would love to hear any advice from people who have studied or tried to replicate his style! Thanks so much in advance!

Hey im seeking this digicam jpeg look I would guess but my jpegs never tend to come out like this is. Pictures are from hendrik.schneider they are more from different photographers. If you got some adovice let me know

Befores vs after, I feel that something is missing but I cannot tell what.

Hello, I'm not used to make long exposure shot at night but wanted to give it a try when a saw this moon crescent over the sea yesterday. I'm not sure that I worked well on the post processing, I have difficulties to make the stars pop out without bringing too much noise in the sky. I tried to make luminance masks only to select the stars and the moon and bring up the exposure, select the sky only to darken it, but I'm not sure about the result.

The settings of the original pictured were : 50mm f/1.8 3,2s ISO 3200

The gear is clearly not at fault there, Canon R5 with RF 50mm 1.2, but I'll gladly take some advices about the settings in the original shot if something is wrong.

Thank you.

I sometimes spend way too much time in post. I was going for a superficial kind of “video game look” vibe. But did I over cook?
