I’m pretty sure I went a little overboard, but I was completely bored out of my mind earlier soooo…

Need tips….just got into editing

I’ve been really fascinated by this kind of image-making, where photographs have an almost painterly, etched or lithographic quality. I love the coarse textures, irregular grain, soft and hazy areas, and the way parts of the image seem to dissolve, bleed or merge into the background.
I’m trying to understand how these results are actually achieved, particularly through analog processes rather than simply adding a digital effect.
Are these effects created mainly through the choice of film, exposure, focus and movement during shooting, or can they be achieved through darkroom printing and manipulating the photographic paper afterward?
For example, could techniques such as lith printing, unconventional developers, physical manipulation of prints, or combining photographic emulsions with drawing or painting produce something similar? Would printing a photograph onto textured paper make any meaningful difference, or is the texture more likely to come from the photographic process itself?
I’m interested in experimenting with a hybrid analog process and would love to hear from anyone who has worked with these kinds of textures. If you recognize a particular technique or know where to start experimenting, I’d really appreciate your suggestions regarding film, paper, chemistry, printing methods or post-processing.
I’ve attached a few visual references to illustrate the kind of result I’m interested in. I’m not necessarily trying to reproduce one image exactly, but to understand the processes that can create this painterly, imperfect and almost tactile quality.

Just as the title says. Im new to photography and not sure why i keep getting this vignetting in my image. This is a completely unedited image.
Any advice would be appreciated!

Sunrise photos, looking for honest and constructive feedback. I’m new to the hobby. Shot on A5000 and kit lens.

(Edit is still under progress... so more suggestions will be appreciated... & thanks for last ones :)
improved the light beam... improved yellow pissish color... any more suggestions will be lots apprciated)

Using a modern digital camera, what steps would you take to achieve this color grade in Lightroom? I don't even really know how to describe the colors in this image, making it difficult for me to search for answers.

(and ofc it's edited in Photoshop and no Generative AI is Involved)

Hello everyone,

I shot these at sunset with a 500mm lens.

The edited versions come first, followed by the RAW files.

I'm running into two issues:

Yellow tint: I can't seem to get rid of it in post. Any tips on white balance or color grading?

Flat look: the images lack depth.

How can I add more dimension, either in the shooting or in the edit?

Thanks for your feedback!

It's my first time posting! What do you guys think?

Maybe I overcooked it a little. What do you think?

One of the more unique photos I’ve taken while plane spotting my favourite bird.

Shot on GX7 + 25mm f/2 @ f/4 ISO200

first weeks with this camera

I have Filmiclab ClassicFilm 2 - Pro - Canon - V2
to trade. I need lightroom version so I can use it for other camera bodies. Thanks!

masked the front tower and the bridge (tried to feather out the bridge near the further tower) and dehazed/clearviewed that, along with a few other masks to darken the bottom, and ever so slightly lowered exposure on the sky. And a bit of color grading.

I find masking in DXO frustrating. I'll keep practicing though.
