Week Four- Post Two- Different Critter

Bunny Rabbits

I typically photograph dogs and sometimes cats. 
Until today I had never attempted to photograph the little critter like the bunnies. 

Some of the challenges I faced were:
Not knowing exactly how to handle the bunny.
I grew up with dogs and cats but never around bunnies. It felt a little uncomfortable holding the bunnies.
There was a lot of distracting objects in the cage.
The bunnies had grass in their cage. It was difficult to move the grass away and off of the bunny to get a good picture of them.
There was poor lighting.
The little critter room has poor lighting plus the bunnies were in the back of the cage. This made it difficult to get a good picture with enough light.

I learned:
The best way to photo graph the bunnies was to try and get them to the front of the cage where there was more light.
To move the grass away from the bunny and off of the bunny so less editing has to be done.

It was a good experience but I think I will stick to the animals that I am more comfortable with.

  1. Lauren, I like the way you listed what challenges you faced and what you learned. I also like that you included details such as the lighting and the many objects in the cage. It was difficult to photograph the rabbits and definitely more challenging than the dogs and cats! I am glad we worked together!

  3. Nicely done! You did a good job to taking risks with something you were not comfortable with. And I agree with Brittany that the alternating color in your post gives voice to the pros and cons of this process. Good work!
