would it help if I`d post the unedited version?

Yes, definitely.

the ones you meantioned.

They all look a great deal better, although the colour cast on the second is obviously wrong.


Seriously man, in photography, less is more.

hmmm I´m gonna think about it. I also found my latest edits abit overdone. at least if you look at it twice or three times. somethings wrong with them. I´ll try to be abit more careful next time and only do edits that really add something to the pictures. we´ll see.

It's definitely something you become more aware of as you go along. I'd seriously recommend you not touch any post processing at all, it'll improve your photography a great deal knowing you need to take a good shot rather than thinking you can just edit it later.

hmmm good point. but I guess my possibilities are a little bit limited atm. Of course, I can get the knowledge needed to make the perfect shot, but then again I´d need several things to provide the best circumstances to achieve it. I dont have the equipment that you might need to get perfect outcomes. at least at the moment. I have to use what nature provides me. I dont have extra light sources and reflectors and what not. so I guess I wont get away fully from image editing. and damn, its also a lot of fun to edit pictures the way I want

But thx. we´ll see what the next week will bring along. thanks


people can still comment on the pics by the way

PS: I hate typing down all of my thoughts in full sentences It always seems so wrong ( gramar-wise )

Excuses, excuses, excuses

Make the best of what you have.


There is, obviously a space for editing photos in digital photography, but I do personally think it's important that people learn to take great photos before they try to edit them.

ye but mby I´m not always fine with the "best I can make of it"

7 + 8 are my favs!!
keep it up.
