I took this pic when I 1st bought my 1st dslr style camera (mirrorless) earlier this year... after my first time out with this camera, I looked at the pics I took that day... moved them in a folder and forgot about them. I was very discouraged... and thought I invested way too much in something I can do better on a camera phone. I still feel the same way today. Anyhow... I looked a pics again a few days ago, and worked on one of the pics in Lightroom and Photoshop.
If anyone wants to see original... here is the link. I see a a lot of great photos here... but, I feel I spend way too much time on post edits to feel a little better about my pics. Am I the only one that feels this way?

Sometimes it’s just knowing what sliders to move, and what can be saved. I know if I have to fiddle with a photo too much, it’s probably not going to work out. The content has to really be worth it, I guess. It’s so much nicer when they turn out right in-camera in the first place!I took this pic when I 1st bought my 1st dslr style camera (mirrorless) earlier this year... after my first time out with this camera, I looked at the pics I took that day... moved them in a folder and forgot about them.

I like how versatile the 35mm lens. I can use its 1.4 aperture for portrait yet I don't think I need stop down too much to get good landscape photo as well. Here's the beach pier at blue hour in f/8 https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4915/45271964784_3416c458ec_o_d.jpg
Did you go slide down, make the jump?
brrr. no. These things are HIGH! And very steep.
I can't even imagine having the courage to stand on the top of the ramp. Making the jump would kill me, even before hitting the ground.

This is an older image I forgot I had of the lone tree I like in the Rhinns of Galloway. I'd shoot it differently if I could go back, mostly to focus stack the foreground.
Fuji X-T2 with Samyang 12mm f2 NCS lens. Tree and foreground light painted separately in the same shot with a weak LED head torch.

What kind of bird is it?
Hi oblomow:
I believe it is a Mockingbird.

..and very jittery. This one flew away as soon as I got to within 10 feet or so

Ah the mockingbird, the car alarm of the animal kingdom.
