Yesterday, I picked up my friend’s daughter, Carla, from the station. She spent a couple of hours photographing my dragon sculpture. Finding good angles in my tiny garden was a bit of a challenge. However, the weather was perfect—sunny, with clear blue skies and barely any wind. This allowed the dragon to stay pretty still for the shoot.


Carla knows photography inside and out. She shared tons of tips while she was here. I think I might actually be able to take better photos myself now! It turns out I’d been using the wrong lens all along. This explains why some of my shots never quite worked.


All in all, it was a lovely afternoon. I’m excited to see the rest of her processed photos. She left me with a few to check out, and they already look fantastic.


The Art of Photography


Photography is an art form that requires both skill and creativity. It’s about capturing moments and emotions in a way that resonates with viewers. Carla's expertise made me realise how important it is to understand your equipment. The right lens can make all the difference in the world.


Tips for Better Photography


Here are some tips I learned from Carla that can help anyone improve their photography skills:


  1. Know Your Equipment: Familiarise yourself with your camera and lenses. Understanding how they work will help you take better photos.


  2. Lighting is Key: Natural light can enhance your photos significantly. Shoot during golden hour for the best results.


  3. Experiment with Angles: Don’t be afraid to try different perspectives. Sometimes the best shot comes from an unexpected angle.


  4. Focus on Composition: Use the rule of thirds to create balanced and interesting compositions.


  5. Practice, Practice, Practice: The more you shoot, the better you’ll become. Don’t be discouraged by mistakes; they are part of the learning process.

The Celestial Fury


From the star-forged crucible of the cosmos, this steel dragon erupts. Its celestial scales blaze like a supernova, entwined with the sleek ferocity of a Lamborghini slicing through the void. A galactic titan sculpted from myth and meteorite, it commands this car show as a beacon of otherworldly might. Here, the infinite fire of dragons meets the speed and pulse of race cars in a radiant clash of eternal power!

I think this shot is amazing the rocker arm looks like it is transparent as the reflection of the right wing perfectly matches the left wing

Forged in the stellar crucible of the cosmos, this steel dragon ascends, its radiant scales gleaming like a nebula’s heart, rivaling the bespoke allure of a Rolls-Royce Phantom or Bugatti Chiron. A celestial masterpiece of myth and metallurgy, it reigns over this car show as an icon of unparalleled prestige, where the infinite majesty of dragons fuses with the galactic velocity of elite cars—crafted for those who command the stars themselves!

Conclusion


In conclusion, spending time with Carla was not only enjoyable but also educational. I learned a lot about photography and gained a deeper appreciation for my dragon sculpture. The experience reminded me of the beauty of art and the joy it brings to our lives. I look forward to showcasing more of my sculptures and improving my photography skills.
