EXPOSE yourself - CVI

[crystal1993]

You only like it because the eyes are sharp.......:bsmilie:

What you what to see me thru this image????

The background, the angle you choosen, the composition, and the cut off wings, all those unable to fully showcase the beauty of the dragonfly.

First try get so sharp happy mah...:embrass:

Yeah i realise that now. :sweat:

If i can go down lower and show it's face i believe i can show the beauty of the DF. Another way of composition i believe is parallel which i did shoot too but i chose this as in this photo can show both the DF's eyes which i find is the nicest part of the DF. (Besides it's color.)



One thing is i didn't calibrate my moniter so i don't dare to check using comp. Getting new comp/moniter soon just that don't know when...

Look at Leong's DF pics. You may get a better idea of how composition can showcase a subject better.

Some standard way to showcase a dragonfly, just like technical drawing.

Then you'd need to go even lower.

Yup. I agree.

Going to shower.. bbl

Behaviour or enviroment

Ahh. I can show a bit of it's environment instead of the subject itself. Never thought of that....

 

[zac08]

And study Leong's shots.... those will give you the best idea on how to showcase the subject.

How you get so close without scaring it away? I tried but at most the head only fill up at most 25% of the frame. Anything closer than that cannot focus already...

Leong, what's the aperture you were using for the eyes shot? Did you stack in post?

 

[Leong23]

I shot them, not for achievement, but more for conservation and intend of protecting them.

Follow your heart, and shoot what you love.......remember, it is not a job, it is passion, so you really have to follow your heart and shoot it for yourselves, not for praise and not even for friends......but for your heart........

Btw, they are all uncropped images.

May i know how shooting them is for conservation and protecting them? Not that i'm doubting you or anything i'm just curious as to how photography can help this beautiful creatures. I really do see insects in a different light now.

Previously all i view them is creepy crawlies however now whenever i see a bug i will get so excited as though i've never seen a bug before.
