Normally, Sadie will run and hide if she ever sees me. I’m not sure what it is … perhaps I’m just too loud for her. But, I saw her sunbathing in a window this afternoon and thought I would try to grab a few shots. So, actually, today’s iPhone 365 Project post is really more about how close Sadie would let me get than the portrait itself.
I started about 8 feet away and focused on trying to capture the ambiance of the warm sunlight coming through the wooden slats covering the window. When she got used to me being there, I slowly moved closer for another shot … and another … and another … and another.
This shot is as close as she would let me get … about 4 inches away from her nose. If you look closely, you can see my reflection in her eyes. I held and controlled the iPhone with one hand and shielded the lens from sun glare with the other since it was in front of a full-sun window.
I’m actually quite pleased with the shot. I was able to capture an amazing amount of detail in her eyes with the tiny iPhone lens.
