We have some great pictures of dogs for last week’s entries. :D
A close up of Bodhi’s tired paws, a longer shot of Donna asleep on her cushion bed and a shot of Kookkai, a dog who resists taking pictures. It’s interesting the relationship with the dog and the camera. Some shun it. Some get used to it. Perhaps a dog is more cooperative as it gets closer to its humans. Perhaps the more exposed the dog was to the camera being where it is when one is holding it to take a shot, the easier it becomes to start taking its prescence for granted. Of course, one still needs to be quick about it before the dog loses patience with you :P

LAST WEEK’S ENTRIES: My Best Photo of the Week (MBPOTW) Challenge – WEEK 3 (4 – 11 Sep)

Last week’s entries explored Colour and Contrast in different ways.
Completely Disappear and 1stworlddog both had three dominant colours in their pictures, with very different results. The Breath of Morning (pic 1) pushed light and shadow to the extreme, but allowed a hint of red to nicely warm up a moody picture of the morning. Paris in Colour Contrast (pic 2) went with rich contrasting colours that show up against the natural colours of a tired Paris, sleeping with her prize wrapped snugly around her. Glorious. Meanwhile, Touching Noses (pic 3) contrasted the dark form of two dogs against the light coloured sand, the emotion of vibrant colour is not present in this picture, compared to the other two pictures. It was the subjects themselves and their actions that was significant to me.
All personal favourites or important to the photographers because of the circumstances or thought behind them. You can read more about each picture by clicking on the links above and visiting the specific pages for the pictures :)

This was during the haze period, where the air quality was bad so I had Donna in the study with me with the air-conditioning switched on. She no longer spends everyday here as the study is too cluttered.

This is our Siamese fighting fish that lives in his bowl in the flat with us.
Just an exercise to make the lines more obtrusive to the eye than the subject.
I took a picture which I thought was ideal for the theme of lines, but the resulting image ended up sub-optimal in the brightness and clarity. Here is how mobile photo editing “saved” the picture and gave it a different life as an abstract image.
Following the tutorial, I also have more photographs of the same subject from different POVs ;)
