4 Reasons You Should Be Editing Your Photos (and how to do it)
If there is one thing that comes up again and again when we talk about photography, it's EDITING - the steps you take AFTER you have pressed the shutter and uploaded your images. It's a whole other world of things to learn and master and as such it can be quite overwhelming for new photographers.
Because it's yet another thing you need to add to your "to learn" list, it can be tempting not to bother doing it, or slap a action / preset on and call it a day. However, editing your images is an important part of the photography process and one that I believe you should at least start to learn as soon as possible.
In this post I'm going to share exactly WHY you should edit your images, what programs you can use, and the order in which you should learn everything in.
Ooooh, that sounds like a lot to get through! Best get started then :)

How To Take Great Photos With Your Kit Lens
If you’re shooting with the kit lens that came with your camera, you’re probably finding getting certain shots a struggle, and thinking that you need to ditch your kit lens, and invest in a more expensive lens in order to get good photos.
While there are definitely benefits to getting higher quality lenses as your budget allows, that doesn’t mean that you can’t get great photos with your kit lens - it’s all about understanding the limitations of your kit lens, and how to work around them.
