Assignment One Inspiration

For my first Photo Assignment I have decided to take photos of an animal. I hope this assignment will help me capture the activities of animals and focus on things that they do. I also hope this will help me get better at rearranging light and using aperture to help the photos come out better.

Some photographs I have found online that I can use for inspiration are:

and

I think these are great examples of animals. Some of them focus in on the animals activity and blurs the background, while others use the background around the animal to make the photo look better overall. These pictures also mess around with the lighting behind and around the animal to highlight its details and features. For this assignment I really hope to get a lot of great pictures of my dog, granted I get her under control for once. :)
