You can take cool photos even with a potatoe phone! It’s harder of course but still possible, it’s what you aiming at more than just the camera itself.
That’s a very nice picture:)
It’s definitely not a potato lol. I just wasn’t sure what the stance was on phone cameras vs “real” cameras.
A camera is a camera, man! I like it, keep going. Experiment and develop your style.
Cropping / framing the picture is the most impactful instrument. In this case I would crop unnecessary information (noise) out of the photo:
- reduce amount of the sky,
- cut from below to keep building nicely aligned in lower 2/3,
- remove a bit from the left so that the car is not pooling attention and to reduce green colour.
Picture will completely shift it’s attention and mood.
Sometimes I even make few different framings as copies and get more than one story.
For better aesthetical effects on exterior scenery pictures, you might want to change the ratio of the frame to 2*3.

Personally when it comes to exterior shots I go for wider shots than 3x2. I’m talking like 3x1, 2x1, or 16x9. Mostly I like those wider shots because I feel they isolate the subject most for exteriors.
Here’s a quick and sloppy little crop at 2x1 I did of your picture. Unfortunately I’m away from my PC ATM so a better crop couldn’t happen but I think it shows what I’m trying to say.
Of course lately I’ve been really falling in love with 1x1 images but that’s a whole other ball pit.
Here’s a 1x1 edit if you’re curious. Also a bit haphazard due to being on my phone but I think I got the framing pretty close.
Edit: Keep up the good work and remember: the best camera is the one you have on you when you want to take pictures.
Alright. I’ll try some of those ratios in later shots. I do like 1x1 because it makes any picture look like an album cover lol.
Looks very cool!!
