Just a girl who loves taking pics of the sky 🌌✨

New York
1/14 Edited to

... Read moreAs someone who recently took up sky photography in a bustling city like New York, I can say it’s both challenging and incredibly rewarding. The urban environment adds a unique backdrop to sky pics — from towering skyscrapers to shining city lights under twilight. One tip I learned early on is to pay attention to the time of day; golden hour and blue hour times offer the most magical light for capturing colorful and textured skies. I also experimented with different camera settings to capture the vast sky’s beauty, from adjusting exposure to shooting in RAW format for better post-editing flexibility. Even with just a smartphone, using apps that allow manual control of shutter speed and ISO can greatly improve the quality of sky photos. Another key aspect is finding spots with minimal light pollution when possible. While NYC’s lights are part of its charm, heading to parks or waterfronts can reveal more stars or clearer moonlit skies. Sharing these photos with fellow beginner photographers on platforms like Lemon8 helps me stay motivated and receive valuable feedback. Overall, capturing the sky is not just about the technical skills; it’s about embracing patience and enjoying simple moments. Whether you’re photographing clouds, sunsets, or starry nights, the sky is a vast canvas offering endless inspiration. If you love #prettyskies and are starting your photography journey, just keep experimenting and sharing your unique perspective — every shot tells a story.
