Watching You

The lights on a tennis court just outside my patio. they look so much like eyes (with lids and everything) watching over the players. Always an audience at the tennis court.

Every so often you get to come across a shot you didn't plan for. I was showing my uncle my camera and while he was checking out the features I looked up to see this. I grabbed the camera out of my uncle's hands (much to his shock) and tried to compose this shot (I was scared the cat might move away before I was able to compose this the way I wanted to). Luckily I was showing uncle the zoom lens so I didn't have to waste time changing lenses. The moment I saw the cat I knew exactly what was on its mind.... Dinner.

Since the bird house was on a pole (specially for such an occasion) I decided to put the hunter at the bottom right of the frame and the hunted at the top left corner. Unfortunately my canon only has 7 focus points to choose from and none is on a diagonal line so I had to choose between focusing on the birdhouse or the cat. I chose the birdhouse. If you look closely you can see the cat watching the bird house.

Sometimes you are not even looking for photo ops and they stare at you. The day this pic was taken the whole sky had dark foreboding clouds, heavy with rain. That's what I tried to capture by cropping this vertically to show the heavy clouds. Another reason this was cropped vertically was because it enhanced the vertical lines of the crosses. Amidst the dark heavy clouds it was strange to see that the only patch of clear sky was framing the head of the crosses. I had to take the pic.
