Shot with available light, this cute stuffed rabbit is poking out of a carrier bag as if it's about to be taken home and hugged by a small child. I wanted to blur the otherwise possible distraction in background, and I think I achieved this. The subject is a bit central, but a crop to put the rabbit to the left would have lost great chunks of carrier bag, and the subject would have been looking out of frame if it had been too far to the right. So bullseye it is. Tweaks are limited to cropping and just a little colour enhancement.
The light streaming in from the shop front looks, and indeed is, natural daylight.

This one is hopefully reminiscent of the shelf in a nursery. The huggable stuffed bunny is next to something "ABC"; as indicative of childhood as anything else available. I did not set anything up, which is why the irritating picture frame is in shot. Post-processing is limited to cropping, abut of colour palette enhancement and a small rotation.
The light is almost all artificial tungsten shop lights.

This luminous rabbit should be suitably disturbing for small children.
Illuminated by tungsten house lights plus lit from within.
With all the shots, I used ISO Auto to control shutter speed to 1/30s in order to hand-hold the camera. This avoids both camera shake and the tripod police.

beautiful catches indeed...

ReplyDeleteNice, you've done very well to manage to create some bokeh with f5.6, just enough to tell it’s a shop but not distracting.
The ISO noise is very good, can see some but the texture is unaffected.
Best shot of the bunch.
Alphabet Bunny
Another nice one, shame about the ear tag and I'd have been tempted to crop the picture frame(?) above the rabbit out.
The light is very effective, warm, soft and hint of direction.
Bunny Light
Hmm think this one is just twisted and spooky, just need some bloody red teeth.
Interesting but the first shot is much stronger image IMHO.
You did very well getting permission to use your camera and you've done it justice.
Nice to have comments from a fan out there, but would suggest that you start adding a watermark to your images.
(In PS, add the text, change layer blend mode to soft light, select blending options and add drop shadow and inner glow.)
Cheers,
