Doglegs

I was reading some photography tips yesterday to get some inspiration and something stuck with me which caused me to capture this image.  One of the tips was to think about what attracted you to photograph a particular scene.  Is it the light?  The colors?  The shapes or flow?  I was doing pushups on the porch stairs and it amused me that I could just see Steelie’s legs under the gate.  When I went to take the photo I realized that it wasn’t Steelie’s legs that attracted me as much as it was the framing of his legs under the gate bottom (otherwise I would have cut it out of the photo).  Using that information I was able to create this fun image.

Hard Day of Play

 

He seems to have this otherworldly sense of when I’m about to take a picture of him because he will move just as the shutter clicks and most photos I take of him are blurry, goofy faces or a body part I wasn’t originally photographing!  I finally got to take my time making this image when he fell asleep with his paw still on the soda bottle he had been playing with earlier.
