Test Shots

So I was messing with some of the features on my camera since I have never had them before. The following are test shots. These shots either tested a low light situation, perspective, angle or any number of things. Not all the shots worked and I will explain what I liked and didn't about each one. Please keep in mind, these are not glamor shots so don't expect any wow factor.

Ok, this one was a test of an average light situation without the flash. I wanted to see what it would do to his eyes in this case. I like how they came out as natural green instead of Green Lantern green. I also like how the camera picked up on the texture of the blanked.

This was a test of low light with the flash. The light was from behind me and to the side while there was no back lighting. Like the first image, His eyes are slightly more green with the flash then without it but because there was some natural light it doesn't look Green Lantern. The camera did pick up on the texture of the carpet, which was cool. I like the angel on this one as it kept his eyes from grabbing the light of the flash.

I was testing angels here. I used the flash with an average lighting situation and it put to much light on the pole of the perch. I like that I can see the family photos in the background but would have liked it much better if I had been facing them more directly and had changed the depth of field to blur them out a bit.

This was fun to try and catch! I first turned off the flash in the low light situation and when he moved his paws all I had was a blur. I turned the flash back on and ended up drowning him out. At the same time, I managed to catch his paws like they were holding still and at the same time get him licking his lips. Not the best shot but amusing to look at all the same.
