“Bucket”
© Copyright Helen Duffield
Say hello to Bucket. This little cutie is the star of the newest Photobird Photo of the Hour. Helen Duffield explains that Bucket’s mother was a wild cat who ran away when her 6 babies were discovered in Helen’s friend’s roof. Helen got Bucket when he was about 6 days old and had to feed him with a syringe. She says he soon took over the household, and I can see what she means.
Besides the cute kitty, I think what makes this photo really work well is the close-up composition and the natural light coming through the window to illuminate the scene. Natural light indoors is great to use when photographing pets and people. It’s actually ideal, in my opinion. If you can make it work for you, I think natural light provides a more desirable result than artificial light — even outdoors too.
Helen Duffield won the People’s Choice Award for the Photobird Photo Contest for March 2008 with her photo “Sunset @ Mordialloc“. She’s been adding a lot of photos to her Photobird photo album here, which she won as one of the prizes in that contest.
