I am not a photographer by any stretch of imagination. I do like to challenge myself sometimes. So I decided to see if I could come up with something for this weeks Photo Challenge: Focus.
My pets are like my children. I’m sure most pet owners can identify with that statement. I’m always taking pictures of them when they sit still long enough. Not too long ago I took some of Sam and one of my cats Pouncer. They were both vying for the same spot of sunshine.
The first picture is of the two of them. I really didn’t focus on anything, just trying to get a picture of them both wanting the same thing.
Then I took another shot of Sam basking in the lions share of sunshine.
I loved how the sunshine shown on Sam and made me think of a black/white picture. So I took another shot focusing on just Sam and how the light played with his coloring of black/white. I thought it turned out pretty good and is my favorite shot of my little guy.

Hi! Nice photos! I’ve always wanted a cat and a dog but figured they might not like being together. Good to see a photo like this, even if they’re competing with the sunshine! It’s actually adorabbble. 😀

Thank you! I’ve always had cats and dogs together. If you start with kittens the dogs accept them better or if they grow up together it’s even better. I’ve never had any problems really.

I’m thinking of getting a pet. I’m more of a cat lover but I really like dogs too. I guess I can get both knowing that they can actually get along. Thanks for this! 🙂

I love the portrait of Sam…Bumble wants it in his album 🙂 Also, the first picture has focus in many ways – they are both focused on the same thing: the sun.
