A few years ago when I bought my first DSLR I took a trip to Taiwan to visit a friend of mine and his wife who lived in Taibei city. I was learning how to operate in on the fly and as my first photographs show I had a lot to learn. I am showcasing a photo with a few problems. The subject matter is an insect common to Asia known as the Water Beggar Damselfly.
The fly itself was a bit skittish and not very cooperative but after traipsing around the runoff pool at a waterfall near Yuli Taiwan I finally got him (her?) quiet enough to take the shot. The first problem is that it was taken at mid day with the resulting high contrast burning out a lot of detail. The second is that for the most part it is kind of boring due to the centering of the subject.
I am going to fix it and show the process here on the blog. If any one has any ideas on what they would do with it your comments are welcome.
