Over the New Zealand winter and with noisy constructing work throughout the again fence, the possibility to get outdoors and pictures the cats has been restricted. I like the hotter brighter climate so winter is at all times a battle to seek out inspiration.
I do know a few of my associates are the alternative and love the cooler climate and even snow!
Issues started to search for on a visit up the Kapiti Coast earlier this month, I managed a seize I’m actually happy with. There’s an annual arts occasion known as the ‘Kapiti Coast Arts Path‘ primarily based within the native Kapiti Coast communities. Two weekends a yr you possibly can go to the studios, and exhibitions, by many native artists from photographers, to painters and sculptors to glass blowers.
Once we stopped at one of many studios, we parked a bit away from the busy centre and walked in the direction of the cafe and artistic hub. On our method I noticed a watching gray cat so I ended quietly (he seemed so superb I didn’t wish to damage the second by getting any nearer) and I used to be capable of take some pictures with my zoom lens.
I didn’t get the publicity fairly proper as you possibly can see within the first image which is fairly gloomy. However, fortunately a bit light modifying with the publicity slider in Luminar Neo allowed me to indicate the beautiful cat very clearly. I didn’t even need to do a lot sharpening as I centered clearly on the beautiful green-gold eyes.
I do have one drawback although. I can’t resolve which of the portraits I like finest. The ‘portrait’ up proper model or the broader ‘panorama’ shot! Did I get the sunshine proper? I’m nonetheless questioning.
I assumed concerning the presentation and thought I might regulate the crop so the portrait makes use of the Rule of Thirds just like the graphic right here. The gray cat sits toughly on one of many downward traces of the grid. I feel I prefer it, he seems so considerate.
