POTW - 23 Feb. 2009

Postby fozzie on Mon Feb 23, 2009 8:52 pm

POTW this week comes from DebT, well done :)
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=35805

Deb has been experimenting with her photography over the past month, and this is one shot that I selected from the above post.

I personally find the capture of the water droplet fascinating in it's shape, and adding to the composition is the introduction of colour.

Deb,

This was my pick of that thread as well.

Your shooting skills are expanding by an order of magnitude. What you are doing is experimenting and, I hope, having a ton of fun, while at the same time learning a whole raft of new skills and techniques, as well as refining those you already have.

Great work, and a great selection, Foz. Thank you muchly.

WOW I feel really special - thankyou !!

I decided that I had this great camera and a collection of lenses so it was about time I did something other than 'snapshots' of the kids and pets . So my New Years resolution was to try something different each month - I keep buying magazines and keep thinking it all looks too hard so put them on the shelf ...well not anymore !!!

A BIG thanks for the encouragement to step out of my comfort zone, to not only try something new, but to have the courage to share and ask for C & C .
