In the shaddow of a big man, originally uploaded by polarcubby.
I have had this idea for a while now: Kif and Zapp with the US flag (perhaps DOOP flag would have been better). And finally I got around to taking a few snapshots. This one has become my favorite. I like the lighting; it is soft and the colors are pleasant and lifelike. I was shooting on the balcony during a light rain and sunlight was nicely diffused. I have also adjusted exposure, so I am pretty proud of my effort.
The idea was to position Kif looking over Brannigan’s shoulder as if trying to get into the photo. I kept the focus on him and tried a few apertures. This one worked best. The other ones had Zapp way too blurry but in this one he is not the center of the focus, yet, he is nicely sharp. I used my Nikkor 60mm Macro, so I had a good choice of apertures.
I do not have instinctive talent for photography or even technical expertise but in this case I made a few conscious choices to improve the image and I got a good result. That is an improvement! And this time I will take credit for it.
