WOOF - WOOF - WEDNESDAY

It's Woof - Woof - Wednesday

Today we are going to talk a little about cropping and the difference it can make in your images.  As we go out with our cameras and photograph what ever it is that we love to photograph (in my case, DOGS) there are times when you just have to take that picture, you don't have time to move in closer or changes lenses.  Sometimes you visually love what you see, but when you take a look at the photo, there is something that just doesn't work.

Here are a couple of images from a recent session which demonstrate how much of a difference cropping a photo can make.

In the top photo, the trees and the white blob in the upper right hand corner (sky) take away from the focal point of the image, which is Colby. 

In this next image, just cropping out the the trees and the sky brings your focus back to Colby.  It is all about him now, not necessarily his surroundings and that is what I had intended.

 Experiment with cropping and see what you can do and don't forget to have fun!
