Thanks stef! I appreciate it. I follow this site and another forum that reams bad photography and it’s actually taught me a lot more about how to be a better photographer then I ever thought it would.

I completely agree about my horizons -_- I seem to have this tilt all the time, I think it’s something to with my default standing/shooting I need to be more aware of. I have ( recently mind you) started getting really anal about horizons, I went on vacation to Seward Alaska and while they were all general vacation shoots ( I am decidedly NOT a nature/landscape photographer) I went through and had to fix my wonky horizons haha! I do have a nasty habit of not watching my background too. I even have a pic of a person and their dog, with a rottweiler pooping in the background. Never saw it till post haha!

White balance plagues me. I did rectify some of it with getting the colormunki and finally calibrating this monitor which helps a little, but I need to learn how to properly use my grey cards. I get to put them in the shot, but then I’m a little lost. I have lightroom and photoshop, but I primarily use Lightroom for ease of use. I get a little pissy opening things in photoshop since I can’t just pull from a catalog like lightroom if that makes sense? So any tips you can throw my way about that I’d much appreciate!
