Thank you for your comment @TeamGalaxyJustine on one of my posts. Here are some of my best practices.
• Use Pro mode: I manually adjust the settings: ISO, shutter speed, aperture, and white balance, according to my subject and to get a perfect lighting. Don't be afraid to play with shadows and highlights
• Shoot using Expert Raw at 24M: This makes it easier to edit and color grade images since raw photo has more details. I usually turn off Lossless Raw because photo becomes desaturated. I also turn off the Adaptive Pixel and remain the Auto HDR on. (You may select 50M for a higher pixels, but the Lossless Raw feature will remain turned on)
• Use HDR: This increases the dynamic range of a picture. (Dynamic range refers to the camera's ability to capture detail in both the brightest highlights and the darkest shadows in an image.)
• Use Brighten: This increases the brightness of a picture without losing detail. (This is not applicable if you are on Expert Raw or Pro mode)
• Clean the lens: Dirt or foreign objects on the camera lens can interfere with autofocus and to prevent photos from being hazy.
• Enable grid lines: This makes it easier to position your photos.

• Adobe Lightroom Mobile: I use this app for editing my photos. Every pro was once a beginner! Don’t be afraid to explore Lightroom. Mistakes are just part of the learning process. Start with small edits, experiment with sliders, and trust your creativity. There are several YouTube videos out there that could help you. And with practice, you’ll turn ordinary shots into stunning masterpieces.
• Check Weather: If you are doing outdoor work, weather can make or break your day. It's a good idea to check the weather forecast before heading out to take photos, particularly if you're hoping to capture a beautiful sunset. I hope this is helpful! 😊
