Sharing a Few Butterflies Part III

[wasabi8888]

Hi all

I am new at Butt photography. Please comment on my shots

 

[Bluesteel]

Hi Wasabi8888,

These are very nice and clear shots, a very good start for someone new to butterfly shooting.

Minor suggestion for improvement is try not to put the subject too center , give space to the front of the butterfly and limit the negative space behind! In upper side shot oriented the leading edge of the butterfly diagonal will give more dynamism to the butterfly.

Cheers!

HI bluesteel

Can you explain the below? I do not really understand... love your pics.. where did you shoot the Malayans?

In upper side shot oriented the leading edge of the butterfly diagonal will give more dynamism to the butterfly.

Wasabi888,

Here is an example of orientating the butterfly diagonally .

Cheers!

PS:The Malayan was shot earlier in the day at Mount Faber Park.
