When i started taking photos in 2019 i did'nt "know" about post-production, and one of my thoughts was: "when this picture is taken, then it looks like this forever".
Since then i've discovered the process of post-production, using various free software, but as of now i have found out that Lightroom is a strong and powerfull tool to make pictures look even better. Of course the composition, lighting etc. of the original picture must still be good, but post-production can really help making a good photo even better.
The pictures below are unedited and taken in JPEG-format - again before i knew the power of RAW.
And as you can see, almost all my photos are not very good. All kinds of problems with my photos, like too many distractions, blurry, under- or overexposed or the horizon is not straight.
