Teddy_1to10 2 Best Photos

I took this photo in New Hampshire of my Aunt's dog Otto using my Nikon D3200. I used this as the first photo in the 1to10 project. The reason why I really liked this photo is because of the detail that is shown in this photo. I think the most important part of this photo is that the eyes of the dog are in focus. I also like how pretty much the entire dog is in complete focus, which allows the subject to be viewed in total focus without anything in the way of distracting the viewer from seeing the dog as the subject. I also like that the background is blurred out to also give the attention to Otto.  I think the lighting is great in this photo, which allows the subject to have enough attention to be seen clearly in this photo. I used all natural lighting, both sunlight and a lamp light that was in the living room, which is reflected on the right side of Otto's face, and the sunlight coming from the left. The only thing I wish I could have changed in this photo would have been to not have had one of my family member's feet in the background of the photo.

I also took this photo in New Hampshire last weekend while I was visiting my grandparents. I used this as my number two for my 1to10 project while capturing it with my Nikon D3200. I liked this photo for many reasons. I liked how the ceramic birds are in focus to allow the full attention to the viewer on the subject.  I also thought the natural lighting in this photo was reflecting in this photo on the sides of the ceramic birds, I think that without it, it would lose it's strength in the photo. I like how the light is coming on the left of the birds and how it is beaming on the left side of the photo on the wall, which casts a shadow from the molding on the wall allowing a second dimension to the photo. I like that the lamp on the left also as a light reflection which allows another great source for the sunlight that is casting through in this photo. I also think with the many options of colors in this photo, it allows the viewer a better perspective on the photo, rather than having a photo that has only a few colors in it. The only thing I wish I could have changed in this photo would have been to have not gotten part of the arm of the couch in the bottom right corner of the photo, to avoid any possible distractions, other than that I think it was an interesting photo that I captured.
