Questions for first time visiting Azerbaijan

Hello! I’m trying again since my post got taken down last time. (Why admin?)

Im visiting Azerbaijan for the first time soon and I will be traveling around the country for 6 days. Therefore I have a few questions, since it’s my first time.

  1. Which taxi-service is recommended in Baku and Gandja? I’ve downloaded the Yango app, is it okay?

  2. I’m driving around in a hirecar most of the time. Is there anything I should be aware of? (Other than speeding Ladas and Mercedes lol)

  3. I’m a amateur photographer and hope to take quite a few pictures there with my camera. How does people in provincial Azerbaijan respond to that? I speak a little bit of Russian, so I can quite fast explain that I’m a harmless tourist who’s just fascinated by the country and its people. (I will of course always ask before taking a picture of somebody)

  4. Is it possible to visit the Nargorno-Karabakh region at all? Or do you have to go through a military checkpoint?

  5. And last question: it’s says on my Wizz app (the airline I’m travelling with), that Baku airport only accepts a physical boarding pass, not a mobile one. Is that really true?

Hope somebody can answer at least some of my questions 😅 thanks!

This is my first Fujifilm and I don’t have much experience with photography either. What can I improve on? Alle these are JPEG’s with a slight post edit done to them. So not completely SOOC, but kinda close.

Question: if I had been shooting in RAW and did some more post editing, would the results have turned out completely different? How much am I able to get out of the RAW files compared to these JPEGs? Because I honestly don’t see why you would shoot in RAW?

(All photos are shot in the Nordvest-neighbourhood of Copenhagen btw)
