I've only recently started to get more interested in photography despite having had some entry-level Sony mirrorless cameras for a while. Hope I'm not dumping too many photos at once! but here are some photos mostly recent and some old, I've only just got lightroom and started shooting in raw and editing so I'd love some feedback on what I'm doing right and wrong. I also recently upgraded from my nex-6 to a used A7RII before I go on a trip to Europe later in the year so I'm going to need some help getting the best out of my new camera!

Tried to get some photos of the blood moon but it was behind thick cloud, so satisfied myself stomping around in the mud looking at trees instead.

Got out to one of the local volcanos for sunrise this morning. I didn't get any good images of the volcano/landscape itself but I thought that these shots were OK.

Cross-post from film thread. I dropped the wet negatives on the ground so they got covered in dust and hair but I think these two are relatively un-effected.

Love this. Always intended to do a series of empty offices at night. Tricky to get into the right spots for it though.

Yeah that would be my jam too, but as you say difficult to get access to good vantage points. Something very eerie about empty tower block offices at night though.

Sun setting through smoke from the Australian bushfires as seen from New Zealand. Conditions for the shot weren't great, in person being able to look directly at the sun as a perfect red disc was pretty eerie. Velvia 50 4x5.

Yeah I wasn't exactly staring at it, just brief flashes as it came out from behind the clouds (which were moving very fast).

Nice, I was there the weekend before last on the cliffs in the distance of your photo. In this one I'm looking back towards where your photo was taken, you can just see the gannet colonies in the distance (my photo is trash compared to yours though).



I'm happier with these two photos from the same location, they're a bit generic though.

More New Zealand west coast, unfortunately really thick cloud rolled through before the light got any good, shot still turned out ok but I'll have to go back another day and spend some more time poking around.

Struggled to get enough isolation between this branch and the background, not great but I think it works ok (chaotic scrubby forests are hard).

Those blues in the corners look very forced, what processing did you on the photo?
Looks like you overdid some slider.

Yeah you're right now that I look at it that does look pretty lovely. It's portra 4x5 sheet film which does lend itself to those aqua blues but I did dick with the colours a fair bit after inverting the negative and I also added a vignette which would make the corners stand out even more.

DSLR scanning the negative on an LED tracing pad and inverting using negative lab pro in lightroom. I'll have to check the file tonight to see if I'm clipping the blues but more likely it's just being too heavy handed with the editing. The original photo wasn't great lighting anyway but I can't remember if the negative had a colour cast.

Getting rid of the vignette and the boosted saturation seems to have done the trick, I guess never edit photos late at night? It was always polishing a turd anyway as far as the image goes.
