Hi everyone! This is my first entry for Amazing Nature. I found a red dragonfly outside of the house and thought I could take some photos. This is best to have a macro lens which I never had.
After taking a bath, I saw this red dragonfly in our yard. It's a mix of macro settings and manual shots. I used Adobe Lightroom to edit and adjust the brightness.
Two of my best shots, I think
As a newbie in photography, for me, these two shots were my best. Originally, these photos were underexposed. I just went to Adobe Lightroom to adjust the brightness. And voila! I am surprised by the outcome. I got a detailed look at the red dragonfly.
Not-so-good shots
I was using my 18-55 mm kit lens so I wasn't lucky on taking nice photos on insects.
Out of focus on the eyes
The focus was more on the wings which was not the intention.
Under the shadow.
I liked this more because the eyes were a little bit focused.
You can check the others photos on Flickr.
