Great idea, Bobbie. I too have found just by observing my own
photos that two petals at top and one petal on bottom looks
better at least to me. Or any flower with a triangular eyezone
looks better with the top of the triangle being the widest part.
Time of day makes a big difference here. I get the truest
colors around 10 am or 5 pm, but that can change as
the season progresses.
Time of season also matters. I get better pics when the sun
doesn't create the stark differences between light and shadow that
appear early spring and early autumn. Colors come closer to
what the eye sees when there is an overcast day. Nature's umbrella?
Time of season probably makes more of a difference when taking landscape shots
rather than macro shots though.
Also monitors make a difference too. This monitor is set rather dark, so
others would see my photos as lighter if their monitor
settings are different.
As far as any real tips or tricks, I can't think of anything at the moment.
Will give it some thought, as I am still in the novice stage.
