The future looks bright and no stink-eye cat will get in my way!!
An image, no matter how well composed with expressive subjects can fall just that little bit short due to the dull light of that cloudy day. But with the use of a few mobile photo apps, a little bit of time, the mood of this photo has lifted from drab and dull to bright and dynamic.
Here’s how I did it on my iPhone for the colour version of the recent High Alert Cat post.

It’s interesting how a once indifferent cat can start to give you the stink eye when you have a dog in tow. More about our recent encounter here.
Last night when we went down for Donna’s loo break, there was a youngish-looking cat stalking a lizard on the wall. On a whim, I made a meow-ing noise and the cat came towards us curiously. I had Donna sit and stay on one side of me, while on the other side I stroked the cat who was marking me with her scent. But soon enough, Donna would not sit and stay further. She got up and her head moved to sniff the cat even as she made to sniff at Donna’s nose.
I was quite astonished. It was a beautiful moment.
In pet or dog photography, because I am usually dealing with a critter much smaller and shorter than myself, it is common to switch between high-angle and eye-level (their eye level) shots.
a high angle shot refers to when the camera is located above the eyeline, looking downwards at the subject
For this set of photos, the ones on the left show the high-angle shots; the ones on the right show my dog, Donna’s, point of view.
A man has been fined S$5,000 for keeping his pet dog in the balcony of his apartment, and exposing it to the sun and rain for long periods of time… Ling had said he was not aware of causing any suffering to his pet as it was healthy. – 3 Sep, 2013 channelnewsasia – The balcony is not a safe environment for dogs when unsupervised.
My Best Photo of the Week (MBPOTW) Challenge – week 1
So last week was sleepy. See Bodhi’s big yawn there? :D
This is 1stWorldDog’s Best Picture of the Week – 21- 28 August 2013.
Makes me want to yawn with him every time I look at this picture… which is pretty impactful. :D
The last time I took a picture of Donna yawning, she looked like a character in Scream. :O
Bodhi’s picture is so much better! :D
