Nice shots, now so much sharper and light are better. Keep shooting.

Nice series! Focus and lighting is good. Watch out for the background. sometimes you see the messy BG after the shot. so change the angle or remove the distractor (if possible) to get better BG.

Composition wise, ask what you want to show the viewer. e.g. for #1, main thing is the action shot. the surroundings do not add to the scene. Tighten the crop to draw attention to the subject. compo for #5 is nice as its eye level, but the flash is abit harsh.

Note: for the butt, if its stuck, let it be stuck....though you may think you freed it, but you also deprived another of a meal. If its man-made, its another thing, take pics and leave behind footprints....

Picture #1 was the only shot i have before it let go of the prey when i tried to move in and get close to get a better shot. The liZard was also the same. Will take note of the flash power the next time bro... Cos was testing out new set up just now but i guess it works pretty well. Even lighting.

Will take note of the butt thingy...

Ideal if you take the shot as it is, but you can crop to better compose the pic.

Will do sir.. Maybe i should have cropped it tighter for the 1st shot. Thanks for the tip bro....

think the lightings had improved alot ever since u juz started. try to work on the composition, distracting backgrounds. U can juz observe the subject & how u gonna capture it, setup the gears & then move-in slowly to shoot it

Thanks SY. Thinking on how to put another external flash together with the ring flash. But before that need to get a good ball head. Any to recommend? Markins?
