Today I bring you a very popular challenge. As the title of this article suggests, in this week’s challenge, the protagonists are those small (sometimes large) living beings so close and intimate to us. Do you have a camera and a pet or do you know someone who has one?Welcome to Weekly Challenge 13.
Every week I will propose a new challenge, it is a topic that you will have to capture in photo and upload it to the Facebook page of the blog by putting in the description the keyword that I will indicate for each topic. Topics range from portraits to macrophotography, landscapes, black and white photography, or babies. The themes will be offered on Saturday, so you have the whole weekend to work. You will have a week to upload your photo (one photo per participant), until Friday of the following week, on Saturday I will update the article with the photo that most captivated me and propose a new theme, and so on?
- I have published an article on how to photograph pets on more than one occasion.
- I have even held a pet photography contest.
- Today I would like to reactivate it as a weekly challenge.
Photographing a pet makes a portrait twice as difficult. If in itself it is difficult to make a portrait that is worthwhile, that is original, well composed and well framed, correctly focused, that conveys an idea or tells a story, imagine having to portray a restless, elusive subject, and not understand it. What does it mean to take a photo? The thing has its difficulties, so when I say it is a challenge, is it true?
Tracks to win the challenge
To participate, upload your photo to the Facebook wall of the photographer’s blog: In the photo description, thank you for mentioning the keyword?Pet Challenge? Followed by a title of your choice.
For those who are not from Facebook, I have enabled the participation of new social networks.
Lola, Penelope, Simba, Amadeo, and many more animals played in this week’s challenge. I have lost count of the photos you uploaded, all spectacular. I was struck by the creativity you put into it: cats napping, dogs looking for treasure or kittens hugging like a couple and looking at you like “what is it?” who is wrong, is there a problem? “Some of you have come up with very difficult setups to get the animal to pose in one way or another. Either that or you are very lucky. If not, am I not explaining the photo of Carlos Ortiz? Reflexes, with the 3 dogs facing backwards. Bestial.
Again, this is just a small taste of the quality of the work that participated, thanks to everyone who took their cameras and joined the challenge for one more week.
I love the look of Loli. What are you looking for? Are you curious? Or are they eager for their master to arrive? Maybe he was spying on where the cookies are kept. It is simply amazing.
It’s spring. Tomorrow’s Saturday. New challenge.
