Good Photo Or Not?   email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. LilyoftheThorns (4517)   ranked 21 out of 2,278 in photography 2 years ago

I took this photo of a lone bird in a tree, and I don't know if it's a good photograph or not.

I personally like it, but I don't know if it is good AS a photograph (get what I'm saying?)

Let me know!
Thanks!hugs

LOL! Thank you!!!

That is the one photo I was wondering whether or not I should have put it in the contest. It almost seems like it would be boring now that I look at it...

but I'm happy that some of you disagree with me! lol

You may want to try using the rule of thirds in framing your shot. Most digital cameras have a feature to show a framing grid. With this grid enabled, you can then position the bird at one of the vertical lines so it will be off-center.

The rule of thirds is a commonly used technique to avoid the tension created by a highly symmetrical composition.


myLot reputation of 96/100. LilyoftheThorns (4517)   ranked 21 out of 2,278 in photography  2 years ago

Would it be better if the bird wasn't as centered as it is now?

I don't really know the rule of thirds in photography. doh


myLot reputation of 85/100. bloggeroo (1171)   ranked 401 out of 2,278 in photography  2 years ago

Most of the time, yes. Off-center shots with the subject placed exactly a third of the distance from one side is the preferred shot.

If you need to learn this technique, the quickest way is to observe what they are doing with movies. What you need to observe is where the camera man will place an actor in a particular shot. From this, it's easy to see that taking a photograph is similar to filming a movie.

I think it can be a good shot even if your not a professional. I wonder if you climbed on something to take a shoot of the bird. I just hope that you took the whole of the bird.


myLot reputation of 96/100. LilyoftheThorns (4517)   ranked 21 out of 2,278 in photography  2 years ago

No I didn't climb on anything. I was walking my dog at the time, and just took this picture from the ground. Had to take it quick because my dog didn't like to wait forever! lol


myLot reputation of 92/100. eil_noz (502)   ranked 1,081 out of 2,278 in photography  2 years ago

I see then, It'll be better if your try to take in a different angle

Use the same photo, but crop it so that the bird is more the focus of the picture, not the tree. It took me a moment to realize that you wanted the picture to be about the bird. Continue to take pictures and you will get some great ones!


myLot reputation of 96/100. LilyoftheThorns (4517)   ranked 21 out of 2,278 in photography  2 years ago

Thank you for the tip! I'll crop it and see what I can come up with!!!

thumbupI love it and you took a really good picture. Remember though as long as you like it that is what counts. The photograhper can see something in a picture that others may not.


myLot reputation of 96/100. LilyoftheThorns (4517)   ranked 21 out of 2,278 in photography  2 years ago

Good advice! Thank you very much lelin!! hugs I am glad you like it though!!

just be honest, i dont think it's a good one. You need more work in composition.
i can't see the bird. i think if you zoom in a little bit you can get a much better one. But anyway, it's a good try. hope your shooting become better.


myLot reputation of 96/100. LilyoftheThorns (4517)   ranked 21 out of 2,278 in photography  2 years ago

Well I have a lot of other pictures that you would probably think are a lot better than this, this isn't the first photo I've ever taken, hehe.

But thank you for the constructive criticism! Someone else did mention cropping it so it's more of the bird.

I remember this photo and didn't get it until I read the caption on it..I think it is unique, and can see the bird in the tree..:)
