Thank you for sharing! Are you saving these in RAW format? I would recommend saving your photos as RAW and downloading Canon's Digital Photo Professional 4 (DPP4) and experimenting with cropping, brightness, etc. These days post-processing is nearly as important as the original photo. High-end phones do a lot of this post-processing work for you. The camera will too if they have the right mode available and you put it into the right modes. The R50 doesn't have the backlight mode that some other cameras do. If it did and you wanted that first photo to have a bit less bright sun and a bit brighter car, you would have chosen a backlighting mode.

But, you have a great camera so learning the DPP4. Canon offers some great training videos on DPP4 at https://www.usa.canon.com/learning/training-articles/training-articles-list/digital-photo-professional-dpp-4-tutorial-videos Maybe you already knew that, but as you have only posted a couple times I wanted to make sure. Again, thanks for sharing and let us know how we can assist you in learning more about photography.

I am new to photography.. I’ve only owned this camera for a few months now but these were saved as raw and edited in Lightroom. The friends I took these for asked for them to be on the darker side as they like the meaner moody vibe so that’s what I gave them! I really appreciate the feedback and I will definitely check out cannons guides thank you so much!
