Shot on a Pixel 8 Pro, telephoto lens.

Tahoma is more commonly known by the coloniser name of Mount Rainier.

Just a nice snapshot I made with a phone.

Just some amateur stuff taken on my phone

Canon R5 w/ 70-200mm f/2.8

I dont think it's focussed that well, but hey, what can you do.

Shot with:

Canon EOS 700D • idk 1/200? •Auto ISO • f/4 • 210mm + Full-Frame to APS-C crop factor

Taken on S22 Ultra.

Taken on iPhone 12, so nothing special, and not recent (as evident by the snow capped mountains). I still come back to this as my favorite picture. I have quite a few CA nature photos that I’ve had the privilege of taking, but this is my favorite.

She an idiot with nice contrast. We love her.

We went to the Korean east sea and had a hotel with a great ocean view so I got up at 4:45 am to photograph the sunrise.

Interestingly the photo looked amazing on the back of my camera but once I pulled in the raw file to Darktable it needed quite some work to get it to look like the JPEG on the back of the camera, but I got quite close.

I was going on a walk and chose to take some photos of my local air traffic control radar. Also found this buddy, but couldn't take a good picture as i was being eaten alive by mosquitos :)

Both photos were taken on an old Nikon D5100 and edited in adobe photoshop. (adjusted the colors slightly)

Ive looked around a bit for cheap cameras from sony‘s alpha 7 series and found some 3‘s with the kit lens for less than 500€ or the 4 with lens for around 600€. Are they legit or are they scams/fakes/not working? Whats your advice or experience? On other platforms for used stuff they rarely go below 800 without a kit lens

What are some good recommendations on books (physical or digital) on photography I can read to become a better photographer?

I have had my Nikon D3200 for about a year now and am having lots of fun with it. Now that I will soon have some time off from work, I want to improve my skills and become a better photographer.

I have learned and now understand the basics of the exposure triangle and how to use these settings to create different effects as desired.

What I think I need the most is to become better at composition and finding the right angles that give a shot its depth.

What literature would you recommend I read during my time off to become better?

You can see my journey in my posts here on Lemmy, or for a more easily digestible format, check out my Mastodon account.

If something needs more information, just ask, and I'll reply.

I appreciate any advice you have for me.
