13 Megapixels and a Dream 🚀

in Photography Lovers12 days ago (edited)

Let’s start with a confession: I’m a complete amateur when it comes to photography. I have no technical knowledge, no professional gear, and definitely no Photoshop wizardry going on. My camera is my trusty but outdated Redmi 9 AI Quad Camera with its “incredible” 13 megapixels 😁; yes! only 13, sounds almost like a joke in 2025. Sometimes I think it tries its best, but it just can’t quite capture what my eyes see.

When that happens, I don’t panic, I simply open my equally ancient editing software: PhotoScape… from 2014. That’s right, no Lightroom, no fancy AI retouching, just good old PhotoScape. A little cropping here, a bit of contrast there, maybe softening the light if it’s too hars.... It’s simple, it’s familiar, and honestly, it makes me happy.

Noticing, appreciating, and sharing —> not chasing any perfection.

If you’re reading this and hesitating to share your own photos because you think they’re not “good enough,” please don’t wait. Show us your view of the world. Show us what made you pause, what made you smile, what made you curious. Because that’s what this community is about —> love for photography, in all its forms.

Inspiration for writing these words came from castleberry. When I said the other day that I am a bit ashamed of my photos when I see how other people are talented, he said: “Not everyone here is a pro and we try to include, encourage, and inspire everyone. That's the fun! Keep up the great work.”
Those words truly encouraged me to keep going and to always share what I see and love, no matter how simple or imperfect it may seem to me at the moment.

Iskreno, meni se dopadaju fotografije. Mačka i crv mi se najviše svidjaju. 😊

Hvala punooo. Skljockam ja tako redom sta mi zapadne za oko. Danas sam uslikala i muvu, komarca, smrdibubu, sve za folder "stvari koje me izludjuju". xD

Hvala na odgovoru. Daješ mi ideju šta i ja da radim za buduće postove. 😊

Nema na čemuuu. Kapiram da je ovde kao i u realu, najbolje je biti iskren i isticati svoj lični pečat, kod mene to dođe sprdnja na sopstveni račun, iiii znam da ljudi to vole. ☺️ E sad, koliko sam u pravu, videćemo, nisam se baš nešto pokazala do sad, mada sam jedno vreme skroz bila zaboravila da hive postoji. Inače sam došla preko Dbuzza pre dve godine pa tek posle otkrila sta je hive, peakD i ecency i da je sve povezano. 🙉

The best camera is the one you have with you when you need it 📷 And your photos are pretty decent for 2025 🙃

Haha, appreciate it, thank youuu! Not too shabby for 2025 😅
