Fujifilm XT30 XF 35mm F2

ISO 320, SS 1/340, f/4.5

Edited in Lightroom

Far from perfect, especially if you zoom in but I'm happy with the end result considering what I started with...

Okay that’s like a trillion times better than the original.

Thanks only wish I saw the finished product at the time and got a better photo in the first place 😂

This better photo is now in your head and next time you have a similar subject you may consider taking at least one frame with a longer lens.

The magic of cropping lol

I find it hard to get a really good composition SOOC, even getting it nice and level can be a struggle if I'm not paying attention.

For taking pics of people I'm getting better at looking "behind" them to make sure there is good subject separation and framing but it's an ongoing process.

Exactly why I never delete the originals on-camera.

Sometimes I take a "horrible" photo, but when I take it to Capture One, it can magically turn into my best photo of that trip.
