oh - that sort of cat house :nuts:
Sorry to dissapoint Mike
But the local one closed some years ago at Gt Brickhill, and if I have you placed right you know
where I mean, but not specifically of course
Great set - 1st is a cracker and the 3rd one is amazing!!!
I wasn't sure if #3 "worked" or not without a more natural background
What? Fantastic m8
There are a great many good images loaded onto this site, but only a few I think "Bu**er, wish I'd been there" - this is one of them
I had a quick play (hope you don't mind) at it as a B&W here - if I'd taken it, it'd be going on my wall soon enough
No 3 reminds me of Ms Toto_Returns first thing in the morning.
But by jove! No 3 is in actual fact jolly good old chap!
Although if I was being really picky, I'd crop it a little closer on the left and let the cat's expression fill the frame (in technicolor).
A killer set, in more ways than one! The 3rd one is amazing.
Well done they're great!
#3 wow
Ohhh what a lovely set..amazing animals..so beautiful..
I just love number 3.. Nicely done, and the B & W conversion works well too..
That'll get you castrated or worse if she see's that
WOW Thanks Bunny! coming from someone who shoots in "the wild" to such a great standard that is praise indeed
not to keen on the crop TBH but I can see where you were going with it
Just stay away from the arbitrary conversions of animal pictures to mono my young apprentice. .
Hmmm - doesn't this conflict with your earlier comment about everyone seeing differently?
Nope!
Not the arbitrary use of a filter because 'this might look nice without colour'.
Of course I am as guilty as the next person when it comes to 'Oh my good grief! This picture is crap! Maybe if I post process the hell out of it I can save it!'
Three nice shots. No3 is a very good.
Too late! There is now a fine pair of castanets hanging on the wall!
Ah.. Though I think you have 'shoots in the wild' mixed up 'with shoots in the buff.'
Well at least you can see where I am going. Now could you tell me where that is because this old chap is a little lost. But I do very much like your shot as it is. I was (for the benefit of others who know me not at all) just saying that if I was behind the camera that's how I would intepret the shot. The eyes and expression would become the most important part of the composition for me. We would both come away with different images from the same moment as we see differently and isn't that what it's all about? Well, apart from the light and what you point your camera at of course.
Just stay away from the arbitrary conversions of animal pictures to mono my young apprentice. Even Polar bears and penguins on ice flows look better in colour and you don't see Andy Rouse doing it. He's that proper wild photographer who manages to pay the mortgage with his work or something. .
That 3rd shot is spot on mate - very nicely done
Sorry to here about your "nuts" Mr Lop-ears that'll teach you "shoot" in the "RAW"
The B&W to covert or not convert ( or shoot in) arguement will rage on forever no doubt, I think that somethings work and some don't, on the whole though I do prefer colour.
As has been said its all very subjective as is the "framing aspect"
Lovely shots Chris, That last one is really something! The expression is just so
Some nice Cats there Chris but 3 is something special .
Very nice, still yet to get to take some shots like that.
