× Yes, I would love to take pictures in different views because sometimes I usually take pictures of the views because I want to post them on Instagram or some kind of online platform where my friend, my friends can see that.
✓ Yes, I would love to take pictures of different views because I usually want to post them on Instagram or other online platforms so my friends can see them.
The original sentence has redundancy and awkward phrasing ('in different views', 'sometimes I usually', 'my friend, my friends'). Use 'of different views' and remove conflicting adverbs 'sometimes' and 'usually' — keep 'usually' to indicate frequency. Use plural 'platforms' and 'friends' consistently and replace 'see that' with 'see them' to refer to the pictures. Ensure present simple tense for habitual actions.
× So once they see that they'll be giving like a comments and I get I get motivated from them.
✓ Once they see them, they will leave comments and I get motivated by them.
Original has informal fillers ('like a comments') and repetition ('I get I get') and incorrect preposition 'motivated from'. Use 'leave comments' and 'motivated by' for correct collocation. Use 'them' to refer to pictures and maintain future simple for 'they will leave'.
× It actually depends on the situation.
✓ It actually depends on the situation.
This sentence is grammatically correct. 'Depends' is correct present simple for general truth; no change needed.
× Sometimes in urban areas at the night, especially at the night, the all the, all those buildings with the full of lights and people are going there, coming there.
✓ Sometimes in urban areas at night, especially at night, all those buildings full of lights with people going and coming create a great atmosphere.
Remove unnecessary articles ('the night', 'the all the'), repeat 'at night' once, and correct 'full of lights' to 'full of lights' placed after 'buildings'. Convert gerund phrases to 'people going and coming' and rephrase to 'create a great atmosphere' for clarity and correct verb usage.
× It's it's pretty good vibe there as well, as well as I would love to take pictures of rural areas which are like so naturally available.
✓ It's a pretty good vibe there, and I would also love to take pictures of rural areas because they are naturally beautiful.
Use article 'a' before 'pretty good vibe'. Replace awkward 'as well, as well as' with 'and' or 'also'. 'Which are like so naturally available' is incorrect; use 'because they are naturally beautiful' to express reason and correct adjective placement.
× I would actually prefer the views in now in my country because there are so many places that you can visit and there are still Sri Lanka is one of the best place tourist destination in in the world and people are coming here to see those beauties.
✓ I would actually prefer the views in my country because there are so many places to visit, and Sri Lanka is still one of the best tourist destinations in the world; people come here to see its beauty.
Remove extra 'now' and duplicate 'in'. Use 'places to visit' instead of 'places that you can visit' for conciseness. Correct 'there are still Sri Lanka is' to 'Sri Lanka is still', make 'tourist destination' plural, and use present simple 'people come' for general fact. Replace 'those beauties' with 'its beauty' for natural phrasing.
× You know that as a as a Sri Lankan, then I would pretty, I would pretty love to travel around Sri Lanka and take those pictures.
✓ As a Sri Lankan, I would certainly love to travel around Sri Lanka and take those pictures.
Remove redundant 'you know that' and duplicate 'as a'. Replace repeated 'I would pretty, I would pretty' with 'I would certainly' for clarity and fluency. This corrects pronoun and filler misuse and improves register.
