Early Bird Photo

Date September 14, 2008

One of the things I hate about point-and-shoot cameras — especially those with limited zoom range — is that you can’t really depend on it to take pictures in a “challenging” photo-taking situation.

Here in this photo, a lot more could have been done — like zooming in on the mother hen feeding one of the chicks. In an extremely blurred background — making the hen and the chick stand out within the frame — the result can be quite dramatic.
