As I try to learn more about photography, I figured the best way is to put something out there for others to view and possible receive some feedback. After seeing some facebook posts from Randy Oyarzabal Photography and a featured iPad app from 500px, I decided to sign up for an account.
Many of the users on 500px are great at their skill and many times their samples can inspire. I enjoy seeing the world through others eyes and wanted to try to contribute. My account started with 2 uploads of the pups. Out of all the photos that I’ve shot, these were the ones that I felt had great detail, lighting and ones that I could be proud of. Below are links to the two photos my 500px portfolio started with:
Here is an embedded photo from 500px.com:
Kiya by Jeffrey Davis
This was a great example of depth of field where the primary focus was on Kiya and the background was blurred to put more of an emphasis on Kiya. It was also my attempt at playing with shutter speed and action shots. There were about 15 other shots that were blurred or shots taken too early or too late or the composition just didn’t seem right. Kiya is naturally hyper so these shots were attained by hitting a tennis ball for her in the yard.
Puppy at heart by Jeffrey Davis
Taylor is our older dog. As old as she is, she still has moments where she looks like a puppy. As the sun was shining through our patio door, she sat with an innocent look and I felt the natural light helped mask much of her grey fur. I grabbed the camera and cranked up the aperture and took a few shots. This was the result.
