Have you ever seen someone looking at something and just had to look? Photos can give you that same feeling.
This morning I shot these photos with my Blackberry on our walk. In the photo above, you’ll see that Tiki’s looking at something outside the frame of the photo. You can’t see what she’s looking at (I think it was Irie) but you get the sense that she’s looking across the frame, making your eye cross the frame and, in the process, you take in the landscape.
See the difference, though, when you shoot the exact same photo but you don’t give your dog some space for “looking”…
This photo makes you feel like you’re missing something! You don’t notice the landscape and you bump up against the edge of the frame. It’s jarring.
If your dog is looking into the photo, leave room in the frame for your dog’s gaze, as in the top photo. You’ll get a more restful photo that will make you appreciate not just your dog but the view he or she is enjoying.
