Black Cat
I haven’t been getting out shooting much lately, so I dived into the archive to look for gems that I previously passed over. I found this shot of the cat which looked crooked. After straightening the frame and making it pop just a little, I thought it turned out well.

The Faceoff
The curious cat from my last post went visiting the other farm animals. She walked across the top of the fence rail until she came face to face with a horse that was curious as well. It is often fleeting moments that you can capture that make your best images.

She then posed for a few pictures before returning to her nap.

Sam’s Ten Tips–#8–Back To The Light

Here’s my take on her exercises.

Work back light for dramatic silhouettes or to illuminate transparent subjects like grass, crops and tree leaves.
