Thanks for all the advise.. Looks like I'm stranded with a camera with rather limited abilities ey? Or could it be that my camera is stranded with a master with limited capabilities?

Will update some newer post later.. Weekdays sucks! I work long hours.. No time to do anything...

Some shots done today...

Green & White Series..

Fresh lime..

African Daisy..

Updated object shots.. Would appreciate some comments....

Love Is In The Air... (Butterfly Park, Melaka)



Kinda hard to focus through the small holes of the steel cage... Hence, the whitish effect on the right hand side of the photo..

Love Is In The Air #2



A couple of lonely tortoises (Not sure what breed is this) seen in the Butterfly Park too..

My only best shot of a butterfly at the park... It was a miserable trip... So few butterflies around for a 'Butterfly Park'..

Haunting Glare....

Blend of Nature..

Don't worry about it man. Camera actually does little in producing nice, well composed photographs. What matters is the primary factor - the shooter.

There's nothing much you can do with equipments alone, just go out there and shoot shoot shoot. People will call you crazy, but that's exactly what we all are. Crazy! Go out and go nuts! Haha

Nice pics, but I think there's a lot of improvement you can do. I am a newbie myself. Keep it up

Thanks for the words of encouragement bro! Really appreciate that, and would like to learn more from everyone here....

African Daisy.. not bad ma quite nice

Haunting Glare.... Red eyes?!

Blend of Nature.. over-expos liao

Your butterfly shot ok ma, it's not easy to shoot butterfly leh.

For me, overall is the colour n contrast not so enuf, if u compare your "Blend of Nature.." to "africa daisy" n see, can u see the diff
the africa daisy look very "solid"
Keep it up.

agree!! it's not easy to shoot butterfly

I'm really humbled when I see WildPiew gives comment here.... Thanks a lot bro! I've been admiring your shots, and always dreamed to be able to take good shots as yours... Will take note of your pointers, and hope to produce more 'solid' photos.. Thanks again bro!!

Yup.. My SP-700 does not have a powerful zoom, so had to outstretch my hand closely to the butterfly... That was the nicest shot among all...

Comments & criticism appreciated..

Much better now. I like the Portuguese Settlement jetty shot & the construction site shot.

To me, I think the greatest challenge in photography is composition, on how to present what you want to tell your viewer in a single shot. Anyway, noob here.

Huh...you like nature...

Fishing village in Parit Jawa, Muar:

Both shots were adjusted in PS to brighten it's level.. Original shots were a bit too dark.. Rainy day..
