August 8th - Germini marmite
I've struggled with today's shot - and I don't like it at all! I bought some dual coloured Germini flowers today and decided to have a play in preparation for Module 6. I used my kit lens and one of my extension tubes, and I also played with flash strength. I don't like the shot because I feel it's messy - I don't like the composition, the lighting (the middle is too dark - should have got the kapow out) and I just couldn't get the focus right at all. I feel it's important to take a poor shot every now and again, so that you can rip it to shreds and learn from your own mistakes. I shall try it again but when I have a bit more time to correct my mistakes! Any advice would be gratefully received - especially if to do with where the focus should be.
Thanks for looking.
