Thank you for joining. Don't worry, the quality or professionalism of the photos will not be judged ;)
Here's a quick tip for situations like on your first photo: if you're using a smartphone to take a photo, taping somewhere on the screen would make your phone focus and measure the light from that point (in this case it would've made the trees a and the wall a lot lighter and easier to see. of course it would make the sky too bright, but it's not a big deal sometimes as you're not focusing on the sky); if however you're using a little point and shoot camera, those cameras are generally focusing and measuring the light from the centre of the screen (normally indicated with a square or a rectangle).
Thank you for the tip @tggr! I appreciate that. I am using a smart phone and I will surely apply your tip the next time I capture. God bless!
