Nikon D5300 w/ 18-55mm Kit Lens
Images are scaled down 50% because my upload speeds suck ass
Second one was exposed for a few seconds

Overall pretty happy with the result after some, admittedly, high post-effects in Lightroom. Personally I enjoy vibrant photos with a high dynamic range, and some times I'll make it close as possible to what a human would see. These photos do not reflect this.

If anyone has other tips to improve my shooting game (instead of spending money lol) I'd appreciate it. Also looking for recommendations for a good wide-angle lens for landscape photography under $500. Where do you guys post your photos online?

Many thanks, peeps 😁

Good job. Its always cool taking photos of water or moving traffic with a longer exposure. Nice work!

Great shots.
To improve, get a 10-24 Tamron (because you're on a crop sensor camera) and also an ND filter.

Thanks bud!

Yeah I am thinking about picking up a wide angle. Will definitely help me get more scenery in aha.

The second picture was actually shot with a cheap-ass Fotga filter aha. I was very surprised with the result despite its low quality lol. How much do you think I should spend on a decent one?

I always tell my customers to spend at least 10% of what there lens is worth on a good filter.
If your lens is shit, putting a really expensive filter on it won't do anything spectacular. It's like putting pearls on a pig.
