Let me say a few words. Re white balance, frankly I know nuts about adjusting it. I put my Canon IXUS 400 to Auto White Balance so an idiot like me doesn&#8217;t have to worry about such things.<br \/>\nIf my pictures turn out yellowish, then it&#8217;s because often I don&#8217;t use a flash as I sometimes find it too obtrusive. The flash also tends to make the picture look rather stark. I prefer the warmer, yellow tones. That&#8217;s just my preference but to others it&#8217;s grating on the eye.<br \/>\nAs for technicalities like aperture and stuff, I wouldn&#8217;t claim to know much about it. I&#8217;m hopeless with all these. I&#8217;ll read and then forget about it.<br \/>\nAnyway, Yu Zi commented that he would take the picture I took of my poodle from a different angle. Yu Zi, so you mean something like the one below? I took this shot at the same time I took the first pic.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos8.flickr.com\/11976236_a54148d194.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Sleeping Pepe 4_blog\" border=\"0\"\/><\/a><br \/>\nFrom your description, it seems like you&#8217;d have taken a tighter shot than this, but if you did so, you wouldn&#8217;t be able to see the person either. Personally, I like the angle in which I&#8217;ve taken the first photo because the curve of the armrest seems to be parallel to the curve of the dog&#8217;s spine. The picture seems to be divided into thirds because of this. Granted though, the focus was wrong. I have problems with the auto focusing!<br \/>\nAnd how is that photo below &#8220;better&#8221; than my food photos?<br \/>\nComments from others are welcomed too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s been a few comments about my dismal photography skills.
