Indie

Going back and looking at the pictures I have edited so far on lightroom I was feeling like I absolutely sucked at it because there was something about all of my pictures that just didn't look right. After a short time looking I quickly came to my senses and realised that I have been trying to make every image look super warm and cozy and pretty but all I have really done is make it look like I have been photographing the Simpsons.

 

Might seem obvious but I get very set in my ways and apparently when I first edited all of these photos I didn't notice that everything in them looked jaundiced.

 

I am so hard on myself with the whole editing process and it takes me so long to decide whether I'm going to upload a picture to here or not and I have stupidly high and unrealistic expectations of myself in which I feel that I should have already attained a level of artistic perfection that makes people weep when they look at my pictures. (Well maybe not quite weep, but you know what I mean.) I have to learn to recognise the fact that I have had this camera for less than a month and I have only been using the post processing software for the same and that I'm not gonna be perfect at it immediately and uguguguhghguhuhhhhhhhguh

 

I just know exactly what I want my photos to look like and its frustrating when I'm unable to achieve it. Maybe I could make a small difference by purchasing the next lens I want.

 

I mean its not all bad!! I'm certainly figuring out where I do and don't want to go with my photography and also that my original choice of making things very sunny was a terrible terrible idea.

 

I still have a long way to go to reach my idea of perfection but the future isn't looking nearly as yellow.

 

(Update: I have just discovered free downloadable presets and I am very happy.)
