Madcat II said:Hi Art,
I like the Damselfly best... good macros!!
Wryer said:Good try dude!Good sharpness on those damsels.
Pic 5 is potentially a great piece of work, in terms of composition! What a pity..
Keep shooting!
arthuryeo said:Yeap. Pic 5 is a pity. On the camera's LCD, the picture look sharp enough so did not try to shoot again with higher shutter speed. I find it very difficult to get both damseflies sharp above water and keeping the reflection sharp at the same time. If i remember correctly, I had focus on the reflection for this shot. Looking back, it would be better to focus on them instead and not worry about the reflection.
arthuryeo said:That's nice. You can practice in your garden. Dragon files have a habbit of flying off and then return back to the same spot. The best time to take is very early in morning e.g. 7am when the dew on the dragon files' body and wings are not dried up yet. So they can't fly till they are dry. As the sunlights shimmers off the dew, you can have a very nice photo.

waikhong said:Looks like you have understand their behaviour in order to capture their best shots. Good try. Personally I like the last 2nd shot, clean background to bring up the subject. Concentrate on the background. The first 2 shots looks distracting due to the twig and leaf behind.
Good work :thumbsup:
Sgt. Pepper said:Arthur, It was really fun shooting with you this morning. I can see that you've improved a lot esp on your handholding technique and capturing nice background.
4, 5 and 6 shots are really nice, sharpness is there.
Keep shooting!![]()
