Sorry no one ever replied to your photos! I’m usually preoccupied with working with the PRO members and photos submitted over on the STS forum, but when there’s a photo that doesn’t relate to an STS assignment, this is the place to post it!

That’s a fantastic location. That camera produces some fantastic images too. Nice angle. Good…Read more

Photography, like learning or speaking a foreign language, is a skill that can be easily forgotten over time if it’s not used frequently. Therefore, practice is very important.

In addition, I would highly encourage you to get involved in the forums. I have…Read more

I would say that the sunlight on her head, and on the grass is a little harsh. Obviously you can’t control the sun, but that is something to take into consideration. Also, I might be wrong, but the picture looks cropped. I think it would have been better to use the rule of thirds. Another thing is in some places, it looks…Read more

Besides that, it’s mostly retired people who did well in life and wanted to live on a quiet place on the water. It’s mainly waterfront property around here.

Were you focusing on the flowers, or the morning glory leaves? If it was the leaves, you might be able to mess around with the rule of thirds and move your camera so they are in the bottom left “crosshairs”. Great spot to take a photo!

I’m very encouraged to know you are experimenting and trying new and different things. And it’s neat, too, that you didn’t just settle for “the simple flower shot”. Like, I mean, you didn’t think a picture was awesome just because it happened to be of a…Read more

I venture down there every-once-in-a-while when I’m looking for something different to take pictures of.

Perhaps I’d move the grass clump a little to follow the rule of thirds (like toward bottom right corner), and get the camera down lower to shoot it more “straight on” as @Dan Cope said. 🙂 Maybe even get a little sky in it if possible… 😉

I agree with @Abbie Camuso, Having more beetle in focus would help a bit. Could you explain the thoughts behind the settings you chose, and the factors that called for them? The image does seem correctly exposed. I saw that you shot it @ f/14 and 1/50th sec. To preserve sharpness, I almost never go over f/11. f/8 would be much…Read more
