Lizards

[iann128]

Here goes, this is my first picture for you guys to critique. I have been using a Canon SD200 for taking pictures at car shows and progress of upgrades for years. I now have a Canon S3 IS that we bought a couple years ago, and picked it back up to learn a little more.

I took a shot of these guys on the screen this morning. I guess I am looking for a first time overall caritique. It was shot on P mode, and ISO 200, no flash and the window was in the shade.



Camera: Canon S3 IS
Exposure: 1/400
Aperture: f/3.5
Focal Length: 72 mm
ISO Speed: 200
Flash: Off

personally I would have liked to see more of the lizard. Rather then mainly centered, maybe off to the left and then the lizard up top more in the shot. Less screen, more lizard.

but I am a beginner too so you can just ignore me. lol.

Thanks! Yeah I hear the less screen part, I was amazed it came out as well as it did, they move quick down here.

I agree, I'd also like to see the full lizard without it's tail cut off and the more of that upper one you could get in the shot, the better. The lighting is good.

Thanks! I only found out about the rule of thirds the other day My dad is a pretty good with a camera and mentioned it to me. We have a lot of the lizards down here so I'll see what I can do.
