Visited the Biltmore with my wife this past weekend during our First Anniversary trip to Asheville. Any tips you have on these? I’m trying to get better at all types of photography.

If you’re in the Asheville area and you haven’t visited the Ingles headquarters, what are you doing?

I don’t even know if I have ever seen an Ingles.

Never compare your own photos to anyone else. Especially if you are just taking snapshots while walking around enjoying the day. Flower photography far outpaces nature/wild animals in sheer trickery and unrealistic depictions because they don’t bite and can be easily surrounded without moving.

Play around with depth of focus and especially the in camera setting for exposure. Moving the exposure rectangle off center and then using center weighted metering on that spot for instance. In your last two shots the background is in focus while the actual subject is blurry. Setting a lower f number then situating the focus and exposure on the glass sculpture would’ve produced a better photo there.

I know a tripod would definitely help. I wish those last 2 were in focus. Oh well...

They are in focus. Just not on the intended subject. Wasn’t intending to be harsh on you. It should be fun and you should get better the more you do of it.

Here’s an example of what I was trying to explain. No tripod necessary.

Totally fine! I asked for tips. This is only my 2nd real go at taking pictures with it. Eventually I’l be decent. Maybe.
