Aperture - Rule of Thirds
I have been mesmerized by my cat's eyes for quite a while. He's pretty rad.
I can see why you are mesmerized by your cat's eyes, Chelsea. Look at the different shades of green! I also love the different shades of caramel with the white stripe. It's great that you got a picture with enough light to show all of the detail in your feline pal but yet darkness in the background so that our attention is focused on your pal--and his eyes. and whiskers. and nose-jowls... and fur stripes. and multiple pupil eye rings.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that, if you can get your canine pal to behave, that you have lots of opportunities to play with his narrowness and striking triangularity. It's Diagonal Dog! Of course, it's hard to tell him how to pose himself, but if you can do like that Man Ray and Fay Ray artist does and pose your pal, you could really play with composition big time.
And I want to eat that waterfall. The water looks like some kind of sugar confection. Nibble each little vertical rope, not gobble the totality in bites.
On second thought, Chelsea, the reason why I thought of composition issues with your Diagonal Dog at all was because this photo you posted emphasizes his triangularity. Look at how the ear and left front leg are parallel and make one big continual diagonal line the goes off the edges on both sides. Your wide f-stop is good too in that it emphasizes just his face (and awesome nose!) and the trangularity of his head and ears. V shapes. It's great that you tilted the camera the way that you did. (or that he tilted his head the way that he did)
