At the moment’s publish addresses the concept of presenting a collection of cat pictures, in a single specific format to make a extremely constructive impression and inform your cat’s story.
What’s Picture Orientation?
Actual Fast!! Let me clarify the phrase ‘orientation‘.
It describes the way you take a look at a easy rectangle. Yoi view it as both a ‘portrait’ or ‘panorama’. That is a lot simpler to make use of as an outline than “the quick facet up, erm…. or the lengthy facet up, um….or alongside the facet, or…”
DEFINITION: Web page orientation is the best way during which a rectangular web page is oriented for regular viewing. The 2 commonest varieties of orientation are portrait and panorama. The time period “portrait orientation” comes from visible artwork terminology and describes the scale used to seize an individual’s face and higher physique in an image.
Now let’s take a look at some cat seize concepts.
The primary two photos on this publish have a beautiful gentle focus (bokeh) from my DSLR lens and Teddy seems to be nice set other than the background. Together with your DSLR/Mirrorless digital camera you can provide your cat photograph a shallow depth of discipline. Begin by utilizing the f cease at f2.8 or f5.6.
For a smartphone? Add softness utilizing your personal portrait setting or later in publish manufacturing with one of many many smartphone photograph apps. Search for ‘gentle focus’ ‘portrait’ or ‘bokeh’.
Cat Persona Captures
My collection of Teddy photos have all been posted this 12 months (2024). They seize Teddy’s moods and character is he continues to settle in and develop with the Sprint Kitten Crew. They impressed me to create a brief listing of tasks so that you can attempt:
