This Week's Featured Animals

     Happy Friday, everyone!  I hope you enjoy looking through these pictures.  I had a chance to meet some incredibly sweet and loving animals this week!  This week, I became more confident as I photographed the animals.  Not all of my pictures turned out perfect; however, I found it much easier to edit the photographs this week.  I can imagine that every week of editing photographs will mean more confidence and growth in my abilities.  We had a face-to-face photography class on May 23rd and were able to ask individual questions with our professor.  I had noticed a yellow tint to my photographs and after talking with my professor, she took a look at my camera and decided it was a setting on the camera.  The May 20th photographs still have a tint to them even though I used the color correcting tool on Photoshop.  My professor informed me that if the pictures have this yellow tint that even Photoshop could not correct these....Camera Raw would have to help with that.  After class on Wednesday, I went back to the Wake County Animal Center and took photographs and these did not have a yellow tint.  I was very excited.  I hope you enjoy looking through the photographs of the animals animals that I got to know this week!

    1. Sara-Anne, thank you! Shelley does have beautiful eyes. When you walk past her kennel, you cannot help but stop! This week was more challenging getting the animals to look at me (these animals were very excited and very playful.) Thank you for your comment!

  2. You did a fabulous job editing you photos! Way to go this week, defiant;y can see an improvement from the last. This was a difficult week I will agree getting the animals to focus. Aakitah stood out to me the most. She had an adorable face and seem like a sweetheart! Great Job Brittany!

Hopefully, each week I will continue to improve my photography and editing skills. It is nice that someone can relate to how difficult it was to capture the animal's attention this week. Aakitah is a very sweet dog and I am glad you like the picture. Thank you again!
