Polaroid Petie

West Virginia

Submitted for the September PAD, "Natural Abstracts & Altered Reality"

I deliberately overexposed this to make it high key and abstract it. Film is what it is and you have to work with it. If you look in the background, you can faintly see HK, my white cat. :)

Others can be seen here.

Also submitted for the Weekly Informal Challenge, "Shoot the Shooter."

Other entries can be seen here.

A new career for Polaroid Petie, I see! A very cool shot. VV

The over-exposed high key effect really works! But just about anything you do with this adorable dog is dynamite ..... what a personality! I would love to be able to give him a big hug! ~V~

This is just awesome for a high key. Petie seems to enjoy the attention. Funny, I would not have seen Hissy if you didn't mention it. BV

Great high key image and love it. Know a chi named Petey...needs a home as his owners are in ill health.
Terry Sprague28-Sep-2012 21:59
Love it,and Petie,too. I can see the faint dark shadow in HK's ear! The contrast of dark and light is amazing.V+V
janescottcumming28-Sep-2012 21:57
I found HK but I would not have seen it without your hint. The overexposing worked wonderfully here. V
