Happy Friday!
Over the last 2 weeks I have had to contend with burst
geysers, the ensuing contractors and insurance people, the internet was down
and overall it was just a bumpy couple of weeks.
I got my hands on 2 old cameras for the weekend and I managed
to get some pretty decent shots of them using my macro lens.
I set them up near the window, using the beautiful sunlight
and my reflector.
I wanted to dress up the shots, but after some
experimentation I found that they were just too cluttered. Simple is best!
We also adopted 2 guinea pigs last week; they are entirely
too cute for words, but they are really cooperative subjects – as animals go –
and I spent a few hours one day playing with them and getting some nice
close-ups.
The guinea pigs were also shot using natural light from the
window; of course they present composition issues. Small animals are normally
skittish, and these two were no exception; often hopping around just as I had
the shot set up. Remember patience is a virtue, and many times it is better to
sit and wait for the shot you want, rather than to hop around after the little
critters.
Anyway, what do you think of the photos? Critique and
question away folks.
Until next time
