I wasn't going anywhere interesting this weekend, so I decided to take pictures of something that I had close to home- my dog! What better subject is there for an animal theme? She's a pretty dog, and very cute (of course!) so I thought this would be an easy photo shoot. Well, learn something new every day, right?
When taking pictures of animals, it is hard to simply get a good shot of them- not blurred, flattering, et cetera, let alone a well-composed, artistic shot. It was difficult to get my dog to look up at me, or at the camera, or at anything for that matter- and if I used some food to distract her, then she would be moving her head around too much for me to put a lot of thought into getting a shot. My favorite picture is one that I actually put a lot of effort into composing, and then I sat and waited for a nice-looking shot to come. There were many shots of this particular scene, and this one was the best in my opinion. I tried to frame her face with the fence, and frame the entire picture with the leaves, while balancing with the sky. I like it quite a bit!
Overall, this is one photo shoot that I would like to try again someday. Still, there is at least one that I was pleased with!
