Hi everyone!
So leading on from my last post I have been getting out of the office every lunch time to take a walk, exercise my eyes and see more of the little nuances of the world around me.
Down the road from the office, in a quietish back road that a walk down lives a cat called Mr Moo. He is, to my mind, an awesome kitty, got one of those real squashed up faces that suggests he may have run into a closed door or something unfortunate like that!! So he is not the best looker but he does have a charm to him.
Ok in reality I am a sucker for cats, a definite cat person so no matter what I cannot hate on Mr Moo!! The other day on my walk I cam across him on the curb and he bowled over to say hi, I figured why not get a snap of him, might as well seeing as I was there right?
I did not want to settle for a blah shot so i tried to move around him as he sat on the curb and look for a way to portray him in a good way. It was then that i noticed the light and how it was lighting up his coat. I realised the sun was at an angel that meant it was not directly overhead but rather coming in at an angel and the result was it created an almost halo like glow around Mr Moo.
I can say with full confidence that this lighting is not something i would have noticed straightaway say two weeks ago. Sure i might have got there eventually but in this instance I noticed it almost immediately, I realised my eyes have started to see the light as it were!!
I am so pleased with the resulting photograph as well. The back-light has brought another dimension to Mr Moo, it has enhanced his look and appeal. Well maybe not his appeal, in truth he does look like he is plotting something diabolical, but he still looks really cool and I believe the light has everything to do with it in this case.
These walks at lunch time are definitely helping and my search fro light is gathering pace and some really cool photographic encounters and experiences along the way!
Thanks for stopping by!
