Diesel By the Trailer “C” (Original Photo) by Tracey Evans taken 03\/19\/2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking photos of my fur babies is one of my favorite things to do. I have camera rolls full of them, and most are very similar to each other. This is one of the photos I took of Diesel while she was “helping” her father work in the yard. I have no photography experience, and many photos taken are done so quickly before my subject moves too much and the cute moment is missed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original photo didn’t focus on the subject. You can see the fence line in the background and part of the trailer on the right side. The portion of the trailer you can see was really an eye sore. When cropping the photo, I wanted to fully eliminate those two items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diesel Sunbathing “C” (Cropped Photo) by Tracey Evans taken 03\/16\/2023, edited 01\/26\/2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the process of cropping, Diesel ended up being directly in the center, surrounded by lots of grass on all sides. I chose to crop it further, eliminating the grass towards the bottom of the photo, because first, the area had some dead spots that weren’t as visually appealing as the rest of the photo, and second, while Diesel’s face is turned toward the camera, her body is facing away to the left, so you can now see more of the direction she was headed in before she laid down. Since the photo was taken on my phone, the original was also very long, and after cropping, the size is much more appealing for a blog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By cropping the photo, I emphasized the focal point, took out the unnecessary fence line and trailer, which drastically simplified the background, and uncentered Diesel. While the object was not moving, I did leave room on the side of the face she was moving to emphasize the direction her legs were facing, especially so I didn’t shop her off at the ankles. I love the way the cropped photo turned out, not only for the assignment but also as a keepsake of my baby. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
