I tried taking another picture of Cinnamon trying some of the new information I learned during Jeremy Cowart’s Experimental Portraiture Seminar this past week, but Cinnamon was not feeling it. I tried everything to get her to perk up and give me that smile look. I asked her is she wanted to go “bye-bye”, I asked her where is “Princess & Trixy”, and I even bribed her with a whole package of Christmas Cookie Dog Treats that I scattered all around her. After all of that, I still got nothing. Wearing costumes and posing in front of the camera is not her thing.
After about 10-15 minutes of trying to get a decent shot, without any cooperation, I decided to move onto something else.
Do you remember a few posts back, there was a two-tier plate that we made? We kind of decided how we wanted to decorate the plates. We came with the idea of placing two cups between the plates with a package of hot-chocolate in each. Then we place cookies around the whole thing for them to enjoy while they drink their hot chocolate. What do you think? Any Suggestions or Ideas?
This past week I completed and turned in all my work so that I can have it easy until the end of the semester. Now that I didn’t have to worry about projects, due dates, etc, I took some time to go through some of my old photographs back from when I was just starting photography. I re-edited some of the more popular images and edited some new images. These images were shot from: Morro Bay, March Field Air Museum, Irvine Regional Park, Las Vegas, and Temecula.
San Diego Safari Park is filled with amazing animals and the developers took care to make their habitats closely related to their natural environments. The San Diego Safari Park is one of my favorite places to photograph at for various reason. There habitats are opened and that makes photographing them much easier, since there isn’t a need to photograph through class or fences, except for a few. The staff that do the shows are kind and happily smile for the camera and will be glad to answer any of your questions after the show. Furthermore, they have a lot of educational services to check out and learn about the animals and ways we can help to make sure they will survive for generations to come.
