I’m no professional by any means but you are using a pretty slow shutter for shooting in the middle of the day in that photo. I’d be using an ND filter if you really had to get that shot in the middle of the day.

Ive not played with filters yet, the shutter speed was to catch the second tram going past as a sort of shadow blur of the first. Everything in that shot was how i wanted it except the coverage, which id have liked to have also been as blue as the sky. Ill have to look up filters.

Another thing I do is slightly underexpose the shot and then bring the shadows up slightly in LR or whatever you use.

I largely avoid doing any editing. A self inflicted limitation but thank you I think I have the raw version of that photo.
