>>3301158>>3301188>shot with a lot of contrast and reduced later>you're underexposed in all of themBingo, completely right
Recently I've been trying to get used to HDR and exposure bracketing but I haven't gotten to a point where I'm satisfied with it yet. My lack of ability for it is definitely holding me back though.
>You lack a subject in a lot of them.Yeah, I need to get more creative or just figure it out as it's so often you see something amazing and can't capture the whole and just end up with a picture of nothing, or I do find something to use as a subject but it still feels like a picture of nothing because the subject is something that just isn't interesting.
>my urbex stuff ALWAYS benefits when I learn other related forms of photographyYou're right again but like I said before I just don't have the passion for it.
