Can't front though. The IG editing tools are pretty solid
They stepped they game up immensely.

I used to edit mobile stuff in SnapSeed before they updated their IG tools. SnapSeed is piff tho, but I haven't needed to edit stuff in it in quite some time.

Need advice coli brehs.

I am going to Italy/Greece next year and I was wondering if I should upgrade my camera.

I have the Canon T5i, I like it but I was wondering if I should get a higher end camera (more expensive).

This is a once is lifetime type trip and I just want to take some piff photos.

Like photos that can be made into wallpapers

I love the wallpapers at interfaceLIFT InterfaceLIFT: Wallpaper sorted by Date and I have noticed all the photos I am like :whoo:at are usually with a higher end camera. I would also love to join the ranks of those photographers there.

Please give me suggestions on what to do. I have a Canon T5i with 18-55mm IS STM and 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II

Should I get a different lens kit? I want to take city shots.


You'd prolly be better off getting new lenses and a tripod

This right here, a new camera body won't do anything if your lenses aren't good. That T5i is more than capable, just invest in some good quality lenses and a tripod.

I use this for city shots, works perfectly, quality is top notch. It is pricey, however I bought mine from a friend slightly used for half the cost.

For a tripod I bought one of these and love it, good quality, lightweight, and versatile:

:salute: thanks breh. I almost forgot, there is lens archive on Photography-on-the-net for Canon, basically it list almost every lens and has a samples thread. If you find a lens you want to rent or buy check this out and see some of the shots done with it..

Decatur where its greater
Sold a print of this for a pretty penny, was sick as a dog when I took it, but took one look at the sky that day around 3 and knew I would have to catch it at sunset.
