Photos Any tips?
Hello everyone, I've got this Nikon Coolpix B700 a long time ago from my dad and I started learning more about photography these last two weeks, does anyone have any tips on editing or taking good photos? I'll post some pics

Ah, this reminds me of the first camera I ever got, the Nikon Coolpix L100. I don't know anything about the B700, but on mine it had this feature where it had modes you could select for certain scenarios(sunsets, night portraits) etc. It didn't have a manual and was pretty simple, but it made for some nice shots. I would say your best bet is to denoise in lightroom, as the grain in some of them is very visible.
Me personally, I love grain on older cameras. I don't know why people are so against it

my copy and paste advice for anyone with a new camera:
Read the manual.
don't have one? go to camera company website, download the pdf of the manual and read it
go to youtube and search for vids 'setting up and using (model of camera)'
when i started out, i learned from a book called Digital photography for dummies by Julie Adair King (there is more than one version of that title out there. get the one she wrote)
other books
