This is my favorite photo and was, quite frankly, a lucky shot. I had just gotten my DSLR a month prior and was still trying to acquaint myself with all the controls. The panda has a nice, clean background, and the grasses and logs provide lots of leading lines, drawing attention right to where the panda is. My biggest critique of the photo, though, is that the focus is not on the panda&#039;s eye.&lt;\/p&gt;\" id=\"ux_img_div_1858\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"margin_thumbs dynamic_css opactiy_thumbs widget_margin_thumbs1858\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img class=\"width_thumb \" id=\"ux_gb_img_1858\" imageid=\"7\" type=\"image\" src=\"http:\/\/coolskill.org\/site\/wp-content\/gallery-bank\/thumbs\/o_1bcttso7qp8ejobcrc1qlc14eqo.JPG\"\/>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"1858prettyPhoto[gallery]\" class=\"element gallery-sizer\" href=\"http:\/\/coolskill.org\/site\/wp-content\/gallery-bank\/gallery-uploads\/o_1bcttso7q1h1q6j41e6s133m75bp.jpg\" data-title=\"&lt;h5&gt;Subway Entrance&lt;\/h5&gt;&lt;p&gt;The entrance to the Broad Street and Market-Frankford Lines in Dilworth Park.

One can walk to the island at low tide (due to a sandbar in the bay), so I had to spend the time researching tide charts, studying maps, and finding cottage rentals at the right time of the summer -- when low tide and sunrise coincided.

Better cameras make your photos more spectacular -- if you take good photos, your photos will be more spectacularly good. If you take bad photos, your photos will be more spectacularly bad. If you take average photos, your photos will be -- spectacularly average, which is still average. It&#039;s not the quality of the camera, but the quality of the eye behind the lens. The good news is that the eye can be trained.\n&lt;\/p&gt;\" id=\"ux_img_div_1858\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"margin_thumbs dynamic_css opactiy_thumbs widget_margin_thumbs1858\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img class=\"width_thumb \" id=\"ux_gb_img_1858\" imageid=\"29\" type=\"image\" src=\"http:\/\/coolskill.org\/site\/wp-content\/gallery-bank\/thumbs\/o_1bctub9gs1ac511cq6bhhr3r5tt.jpg\"\/>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"1858prettyPhoto[gallery]\" class=\"element gallery-sizer\" href=\"http:\/\/coolskill.org\/site\/wp-content\/gallery-bank\/gallery-uploads\/o_1bctub9gs1ghl1sb82p9h98l8hu.JPG\" data-title=\"&lt;h5&gt;Pacific Sea Nettle&lt;\/h5&gt;&lt;p&gt;A Pacific Sea Nettle at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland. Photos of jellyfish in an aquarium are really easy to get -- the light is already good (provided by the aquarium), the background is clean (provided you can isolate one or two jellies), and the subject is interesting. This gives a good chance to work on composition, and I like how the main body of the jellyfish is at an angle here.

This is an example of a photo that looks like it has been digitally filtered was applied, but no such filter was applied.  These filters exist for a reason, though, and that is to mimic some aspect of photography that occurs naturally.  Mist, old film, lower-quality lenses - these are all things that can be acheived without filters if the photographer has the patience (and, in some cases, supplies).  Not that there is anything wrong with using filters, especially if you are photographing as art.
