Photo of the Day September 2020

[Ukiyo Evenings]

A slightly tatty cat from next door - he's only about 8 but he loves to strut around his territory and take on the other locals, even though all his teeth but 2 were removed a few months ago because of infection - catching the last weak sunshine of September...



Cheers

Characterful capture! And I somehow find the slope of the roof really pleasing.

Most of it was done in camera. 🙂

I took that photo with my Lensbaby Sol 45, which is a poor man's tilt-shift lens. Actually it just tilts, it doesn't shift. But by tilting you get some wild OOF areas around a very sharp spot. Because I shoot raw, I do post process all my images buy adding contrast and vignette, etc. Here is my SOOC.

My only experience of tilt shift is as a function in photo editing apps 😅 So this is what it is! Well the tilt at least; I'll read up on it. I can see how the post processing added vibrancy to make it feel more... alive? Is that the correct way to express it? The SOOC though is wonderful by itself. Not to show any favoritism but this mood really struck a chord. I should like to see more examples.

From yesterday's walk around the lake; Alfred is coming into his blue plumage very nicely now:

Yep soft.... in my defence it was on a sony rx100 not heavy artillery

I don’t think it’s that soft. I was just pulling your leg. Remember he was a moving target.
