Take last Sunday in BG. When there rather late and can't find much insects around, until when I was about to leave... saw a couples of dragonflies... *snap*

nice shots

1. prefer the wings to be tilted up and avoid the dark portion of the background

2. background is distracting ..

Areas of Aesthetics

Once you master the basic aesthetics of dragon and
butterflies it is time to move on.
Well done Corvette, for the pleasing colours
of red, yellow and green.

Look at other areas for inspiration and try to find
life in everything that cross your path.

Can you find aesthetics in a common object like a pencil?
Life will be cold at the bottomless pit without an eye
for interest in common things and everyday objects.

Try a little closer such as the body or the eyes
of the dragonfly. Your approach should be an image
or an angle that had never been taken before by any
photographer.

Think about this.
What make people excited about music, dance,
make-up, fountain pens, automobiles and fashion shows?

Aesthetics!

Appreciation is the opening of the character of
the willing and learning photographer.

More pointers for those who are willing to
make progress and changes:

1) Be on the lookout for new methods of seeing with your eyes

2) Keep on reading any photographic materials that you
can lay your hands on

3) Be thinking all the time, especially before you click the
shutter

4) Be a first class research person

5) Cultivate the attitude of analysing the results with an open mind

6) Keep producing good results consistently.
Progressively increase your research database.
As you make progress day by day, check if you are
passionated about what you are doing to your subject

_____________________________________
Keep asking questions, and provide
opportunities for challenges.
Try to redefine the social and the
aesthetic boundaries of the visual arts.

Try to investigate and discover the
most recent developments in Contemporary Art.
