Frame It.

Framing a subject in a photograph is a technique where by you draw attention to it – by blocking other parts of the image.

To frame a subject, you can use a person, colour, a natural object, leading lines or light.
In adding a ‘frame’ you need to be careful not to add clutter to the image and in Pet Photography I think its important that you continue to tell the pet’s story – to capture the moment.

The first series of photographs that I had in mind where to be natural objects – trees – in one of my favourite parks in Hamilton which is conveniently close to one of Nixie’s doggy friends Flint.  I joined him and his human Amy on a walk and whilst the skies and the colour was amazing, Flint cared nothing for my shot list and just wanted to play with his ball – and the other dogs in the park.  And then he ran into the lake. Sorry Amy!
BUT he did give me this one photograph that I love … complete with trees, in a frame, sort of.

So sometimes Plan A doesn’t pan out but it gives you Plan B!
I went and visited one of the most beautiful cats in New Zealand to complete the post for this weeks subject; Edelweiss Bruce Milroy is Instagram, Twitter and Facebook famous!
He has his kitten hour from 6pm until 7pm, so that’s when I went to visit.  I wanted to use toys, colour and light to complete some more frames.  I’d love to hear what you think.

Project 52 is a weekly circle project so from here, use the following link to hop over and visit Belinda Dorman (Brisbane Pet Photographer, bindz photography) to see what she has created, and keep visiting the other blogs until you end up back here.

Happy Friday y’all – and HAPPY LONG WEEKEND!!!
