look carefully at the top right theres a dragonfly









i'm a newbie. Give comments while youre here too

why a bird nest is there....??

i put there

uh huh.. is see the dragonfly.what about it?

lacks composition. it's just snapping a next in the dark, so happen the dragonfly was there.

actually this 2 photos is just normal shoot just hold yr camera, see whatever u like and take only. .. flowers and sky ...

Nothing special about the 2 pictures posted. Looks like normal P&S with harsh flash photos.

Even though there is a subject (bird's nest) but it's overcrowded with other things. Adding some more with your comment on the little dragonfly on the first picture makes you an even poor photographer by swaying the crowd away from your subject.

Shoot a subject and let the crowd know what you are shooting. Reduce clutters around the subject. Learn more on composition and DOF. Learn also on flash photography. Lastly, do give a short explanation of your picture if possible. The best is you don't need to coz the picture itself is self-explanatory.

i look at it. i suspect taken from P&S also. unless TS clarify it otherwise.

I think the flash was quite harsh in the first image.

err what is P&S? TS?
sorry im newbie.
thnx all the c&c.

P&S = Point and Shoot camera
TS = Thread starter

PnS = point and shot
TS = threadstarter

for me i rather focus the dragon fly than put the dragon fly with the nest which both are inrelevent..

ermm, yeah its only p&s
taken at home. the place so dark,no light n i use flash only
just want to learn about photography

DragonFly with bird nest?? ...... Is kinda weird.....

weird? haiyoh..really?
teach me about capturing image

Capturing an image is like telling someone a story, imagine this : "Hey, I put a bird nest on my pot plants yesterday and I saw a dragonfly near it". What would you expect people to react to that? Maybe they'll say "Mmmm ... so? What's so special about pot plants and dragonfly?" In order not to feel really stupid, you should rephrase yourself, for example "Hey I got myself some new pot plants" or "Hey, I saw a really nice dragonfly yesterday at my house". Expect answers like "Really, what plants are those?" and "Dragonfly, what kind is it? Is it colourful?"

Images that creates curiosity are good images, even simple ones. Even when someone sees the dragonfly and go "Chey ... normal what ..." at least you drew attention, unless he/she is not interested at dragonflies at all. Going nearer to your subjects do just that, even if you have to zoom closer, just do it ... it won't hurt the camera or you unless you're telling me the plant or the dragonfly will bite you. Going closer tells your viewer that you're emphasizing on the subject on hand, like WRITING CAPITAL LETTERS THAT TELLS SOMEONE YOU MEAN SOMETHING BECAUSE THEY'RE BIGGER. You dun have to have expensive macro lenses or close-up filter for the job, just start buy going closer. The most simple lens can bring you up to slightly more than 1 feet away from your subject, so try it.

Happy Shooting!

my advise,
chose ur subject 1st , dragon fly? bird nest? green leaf? then focus to it. in ur frame , try add only selected subject that u has focused. and of coz , that subject is more bold than other. to select the subject , try think , what u want to tell us about that subject? isit interensting? beautiful? wierd? or whatever that u think people will interested to see it.
about compositon , harsh flash,u will learn it by time.
anyway , gud start.

tHaNks alot. i learn many today.
hmm my subject is bird nest. i just saja2 put caption bout the dragon fly becoz only see dragonfly after many time see the image.

so if i didnt mention about the dragonfly, will u interested with my photo?
i tried to use macro mode. but only use HP photosmart camera.
the mode is not enough. quite blur2 d.

how to snap a good shot is about understanding your camera.

know it's strengths and weaknesses, then snap your photos based on it's strengths.

don't expect P&S (a.k.a Digital Compacts) to do wonders.

Mind if I hijack your thread? I'm a newbie in photography too, thought I don't need to start another thread. Anyway I'm just shooting with a P&S, but appreciate any comments.
