Hello! As Gord said its a great list with great people. I don't post
much but read it all the time. I guess I'll have to put some photos up
in the future though...
I really do like the bee on the honeysuckle and your black cat is very
nice as well. I know the technicalities of taking photos but I haven't
got the hang of producing a "good" shot yet, though everytime I take
shots I feel as though things improve. The two best methods I've found
for learning to see a photograph is firstly to look at everything around
you and think how you could make a photograph from it and if it would be
a good photograph (I suppose this is subjective), that way you begin to
hone your eye for a photo. Secondly stick with one lens (I usually
always stick with my Zuiko 50mm f3.5 macro) for one photographic trip.
You learn so much about composition and framing when you only have one
lens with you. Actually there is a third rule I follow and that's too
always use a tripod! I'm sure someone will pitch in with other ideas (or
shoot me down in flames :-) ). Anyway welcome to the list!
All the best,
Gareth.
