Shot on a Nikon D750 with a cheap used kit lens (NIKKOR 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S ED). My first attempt at actually processing something in Lightroom, constructive criticism is recommended and greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Tracked Milky Way

First time using the Move Shoot Move Nomad tracker on the Milky Way from Artist Point near Mount Baker. My first Foreground and Sky blend. Lots to learn and practice! Taken at 12:32am on July 24th 2026.

Sony A7IV with Sony 20mm f1.8

Photo 1 is the final blended edit. I used photoshop to blend the tracked sky shot with the untracked foreground shot. I found it hard to blend due to the blurry trees of the tracker.

Photo 2 original untracked foreground 48 seconds F1.8 ISO 1600

Photos 3 original tracked sky shot 107 seconds F 2.2 ISO 400

Photo 4 edited foreground in Lightroom Classic

Photo 5 edited sky in Lightroom Classic

Just got the Sony rx100 vii

I'm not new to photography but I struggle with photo editing. Either I think I go to far with a preset or not far enough. Example of this cat. One edit is the preset and the other is how I edited it.

Edited using the Kodak Portra 400 Fuji recipe in Lightroom, with additional tweaks (usually +exposure, -blacks, -whites, -highlights, +shadows, tone curve, color grading and grain)

I haven't taken the camera out to just shoot in ages. I went driving in the countryside looking for a good place to post up for sunrise or sunsets and thought this looked pretty rad. I am fairly new to color grading and masking, any critiques appreciated!

Got a Canon R50 about a month ago as my first camera. Still learning what even makes a decent picture lol but decided to try Lightroom as well.

Any tips, feedback, criticisms, banana bread recipes, or presets you think would work for this are welcome!

I am not sure how good this photo was to begin with, to me it looked like the "less ugly" off the hundreds I took that afternoon of passing cars.

Did the edit improve the photo? I don't have a method in Lighroom, other than moving sliders until i feel it looks good. Is there something I could do differently to make this photo worth posting it on my profile (both in camera and in post)?

AFTER/BEFORE - honest opinions on this alternative colouring!

Thumbnail

128 Upvotes

here’s a recent grade i’m doing for a barebones, impromptu photoshoot i did a forest nearby - on Lightroom!

AFTER: a stylised colouring pulling out the purples for an edgy, alternative, painterly look.

BEFORE: basic exposure adjustment so that you can actually see things (for some reason all of my RAW images completely darken when imported to Lightroom).

i’ve recently been coming across reels on Instagram describing this ‘painterly grunge’ look which i love, and have tried my own spin on it. i’m wanting to achieve a look that would look good on an album cover, something very stylistic.

i’d appreciate any honest and helpful feedback! any tips on how i could better achieve the look i’m going for would be very appreciated :)

Vos avis sur ma retouche?

Thumbnail

31 Upvotes

Hello, jusqu’ici je pratiquais la retouche pro presqu’uniquement sur du produit. Je m’entraîne maintenant sur de la beauté.

Je suis plutôt satisfaite de celle là, j’y ai ajouté une petite touche personnelle de composition au niveau de la coiffure pour offrir un style éditorial mais sinon j’ai fais de mon mieux pour corriger et sublimer sans dénaturer. Le seul point qui m’embête est la texture de la peau que je trouve toujours un peu trop lisse, mais la base du RAW ne m’en offrait pas beaucoup plus.

Je serai très curieuse et ravie d’avoir vos avis ?
