Week 6: Action, Motion, Play

 

              This week I really elaborated all the different techniques I have been working on throughout each week. I managed to incorporate more shots of my dog in action as well as interesting points of view from his perspective.  While working on taking my images of my dog I think my main struggle was trying not to center my pictures and work a little more on the rule of thirds as well as working with the contrast when I took shots in black and white. Throughout the series I wanted to demonstrate to my viewer a happy and cheerful perspective of dogs. I think I could have also shown the down side of having a dog. Such as cleaning up there remains and training them which is very time consuming.

During the break I took a trip to the Oregon Coast and that was where I managed to take more exquisite action shots. While taking these pictures I wanted to make sure I took semi close up images and got drops of water running down his fur. While I was on my trip I also took my dog to PetSmart which was where I took the image of the balls that look as if they locked up. That image teaches my dog life skills, because my dog viewed the balls as if they were locked up and he is learning patience. The remaining images simply demonstrate the insight of a dog’s life which to many of us  there life seems plain but potentially I believe dogs are just like humans unfortunately they got  trapped in a dogs body.
