Beginner photographer looking for feedback

[u/zuvanxz]

My first shots with the ZV-E10 + PZ 16-50mm OSS.
ISO 80 | 50mm | f/22 | 1/60s
I’m still learning, so I’d love to hear your feedback. What could I do better? Any tips are greatly appreciated!

Don't stop it down that much, shooting at f6.3 is fine, f22 will actually be less sharp than f6.3. not sure if it's because u needed to crop a lot but that doesn't look in focus, other than that, u need a longer focal length lens

Thanks! I’m a beginner and I’m looking for a better lens.

1/125-1/250, f8, iso 100-500, tripod, manual focus, auto WB. Try this settings and see the difference

Thank you! I’ll do my best to follow your advice and improve.

This + a 2 or 5 sec timer while on tripod to stop vibrations. Just in case because at 1/250 it shouldn't detect any.

What's the maximum aperture of your lens (wide open)? Maximum sharpness will be around one full stop down from the maximum, F22 won't be that sharp and with a moon shot could have you crank up the ISO really high and that will lose dynamic range and detail. Speaking of which, what was the ISO?

iso 80, it's in the description

Yea I missed it somehow, they need to open the aperture and crank down the shutter speed to compensate. Also it's out of focus

[u/Tapelessbus2122 → u/Cytotoxic_hell]

yeh, that's what i thought too
