I wanted to share some photos from the Between a Dog and a Wolf project that I edited out of the final selection. I excluded these from the final seven because either I felt like the quality wasn’t to the standard I was aspiring for, or the composition wasn’t as engaging. Not that a photo has to be perfect quality to be valid, but that is the sort of craft I am aiming for at the moment. Here are some unedited shots that I enjoyed taking! Photos are posted in the order that they were taken.

9/5 around 8am, Point Lookout. Shallow depth of field is one of my favorite camera techniques. I like how dynamic it can make something simple like this, and for some reason I think my camera likes doing close-ups more than far-away shots.

9/7 mid-afternoon. This is a spot along one of our family dog’s favorite routes to walk. There is a creek behind the white flowers. When we were little, my siblings and I would wear rainboots and follow the creek to its end and back.

9/7 around 2:30pm. A lot of branches still around from the storm a couple weeks ago. I like looking at these crunchy leaves.
