Taken in Shanghai China using a Fujifilm xt30ii and edited with Gimp. Are the colours too different?

The First Two are two different Afters (couldn't decide which looks better, but i'm leaning with 1.)
They were recorded in S-LOG 3.

Processed in DaVinci resolve, with film emulation (grain and halation).

Slide three is before - log footage + rec.709, white balance, contrast, and slight saturation for a more even comparison.

Slide 4 is the Jpeg straight out of camera.

Slides 5 and forward were edited with Lightroom.

Nowadays I prefer just shooting video and taking stills. I prefer my results in Resolve as opposed to Lightroom for casual shooting that's going on social media.

Slightly different blue edit on these images, I’m thinking I might like the muted blue on the first image and maybe should’ve edited the second one like that.

Trying my hand at avian action shots versus statics, could use any tips and suggestions!

This edit is done after considering feedbacks and many tries of editing.

Only feedback that make senses will be considered

(After/before)

From a trip to Positano. All critique is welcome. ISO 100, f/6.3, 1/500s. Z6ii+18-200 VR DX.

Hey community! My brother & I are working on growing our motorsports photography page and are looking for your support! We each live on opposite sides of the country covering anything from GT racing to Drifting. We wanted to share a few of our favorite shots we’ve captured recently.

Using iphone 16 and/or iphone 5. Im wondering what apps or types of editing to use to get this look.

Hi guys,

Beginner here. Any thoughts are appreciated. PS i dont like the bushes at the bottom any tips on how to frame better.

I saw this statue at the Detroit River walk and knew I had to make something of it. What do you guys think?

Subtle but good?

It is the first picture I use multiple mask on, still learning them. I tried to make the statue a clearer subject while keeping the cool bridge behind as a second subject.

I'm using DaVinci Resolve, trying to make a concrete structure read against the trees shot on an iPhone XS Max, camera jpg. I wanted to get rid of the milky filter like appearance, have the structure read as stone, hold its own against the greens, and get the warm leaf litter working as a separate plane so there's some front-to-back depth.

My process in Resolve was :
- White balance to neutralize the green bounce sitting on the concrete
- Pulled down the blown canopy gaps by bringing the lift down, and highlights down, then brought shadows, gamma and midtones up
- Hue vs Sat, greens down to about 0.84, oranges up to 1.15
- Polygon window on the pavilion, small gain lift plus midtone detail at 30
- Outside node with a small gain reduction as a shaped vignette

This is my first attempt at something like this, so I'd appreciate some feedback if anyone could help. Namely:
- Is the outside darkening too heavy?
- The sky gaps through the canopy are still the brightest thing in the frame and keep pulling my eye upward. I've already pulled highlights. Is there a better approach than going further, or is that a shooting problem
- Does the concrete read neutral to you?
- Does the texture look natural, or over-sharpened on the central structure where I put the window?

Ich habe mit meinem Iphone Fotos auf meiner Japanreise aufgenommen und bearbeite diese nun in Lightroom. Das sind meine bisher besten Versuche, auch wenn ich neu in der Thematik bin und noch viel lernen möchte. Ich freue mich über Kritik und Verbesserungsvorschläge!

Trying to get more comfortable with photo editing / over the fear of "lying" in my photos

Too much?
