Hey guys,

Im starting to take pictures to go together with my hobby to travel the world. I hope to take great pictures every city I go. My first work is in Santorini. This picture I take nice or not?

Please comment and give professional input. Thanks.

In this pic I want to show the sunset and couples enjoying the moment like time freeze and everyone just appreciate each other.

my 2 cents:

1. too much noise
2. get a better camera

Hi Yip,

Thnx for your input. Can I ask what u mean by noise?

The people are purposely in the pic to people enjoying life and waiting for the world to pass by instead of the usual busy fast world.

My camera I think is 13 megapixel.

I think a lot could be done to save the image before going for a new camera. Fill flash, reflector, exposure stacking, shoot in lower ISO are just some of the first stuff that came to mind.

A not bad picture imo, but I do feel that the camera limits the picture a little.

Forgive me for editing your picture but the picture looks quite flat and lack of saturation or punch. I boosted the saturation and did a horizontal wide crop to remove empty spaces on the top and bottom part, hopefully it looks better.

Also the picture might looks better when taken with a better camera to provide wider dynamic range ( the couples and foreground are quite dark as they are backlighting to pulling up the shadow to reveal more details about them might result better looking image).

Just my opinions smile.gif

wow so nice compared to my pic!! tongue.gif

But I don't have the editing skills. Is it something that have to go along with photography hobby? I was thinking that the ancient ppl who uses the film camera doesn't have access to editing the photo. Maybe it is now digital age and requirements and expectations are different?

Seems a lot to learn in editing like a whole 3 year university course lol
