LAST WEEK’S ENTRIES: My Best Photo of the Week (MBPOTW) Challenge – WEEK 2 (28 – 4 Sep)
| Picture 1: Handsome | Picture 2: Lines |
For the last week, we have got two very different pictures – one exploring pet portraiture in a natural setting, the other exploring black and white with a still environment where there is time to consider the composition of the image.
Picture 1 – Bodhi looking very handsome. And picture 2 – what is an unconventionally cropped picture of an area in Changi Airport. You can read more about each picture by clicking on the links above.
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.
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.
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
Chloe, Ally and Donna. Repeat. Chloe, Ally and Donna.
Not the best from the set of photos of our outing to the beach, is it repetitious or what? But for once here you see Donna trailing after the silky duo.
The interesting thing about observing dog behaviour, for me, is that they come in all shapes and sizes and that makes it challenging. It’s easy to read Donna’s moods by the elevation of her head, the curl of her long tail, her long face and jaws that is not hidden by her short hair. But when the tail is that short as the silky duo and given their unfamiliar fluffy form, I can’t assess very well at all.
