Colin's Back Catalog of Homework - Animals


You would expect animals to have been an easy one with a dog but I see to much of him so never have the camera around when he is doing anything worthwile.
Instead here are a few of the animal shots from the summer and a couple of older ones from last year.
The only planned submission for the homework.



There is about 6 inches of glass between me and the tiger.

    Oryx, nice and given you had a flat battery not much time.
    It is a bit of a bulls eye though, maybe portrait would have enabled you get put them off center and still arrange the frame a bit better.

    Holly. Not bad and works as a road kill shot. Normally need to see the eyes and can't quite in this shot, but that adds to the dead look.

    Camel. Like the juxtaposition of camel against swanky Dubai.
    Would have been interesting to use some telephoto compression and shoot at 300mm but further away from the subject and maybe frame the camels head tighter.

    Tigers Eye. Shame about the glass you can see some of the reflection. Would also have been nice to shout along the nose and use a shallow DOF so the eye pops a bit. But as with all animal photography they never pose how you want.

    Cheers,
    Richard B.
