Flavio tell me where!Thirds or diagonal rule? [Contest Finalists January 2010]
Uploaded: February 29, 2008 05:46:10
You know I'm crazy about photography.
My wife has no more patience, so I go out and talk alone on rules, settings, framings, light, cameras.
I also started to talk with my pets, and after some months I started to hear them answering me... and I started to make better photos.
You just know I have a photographer dog telling me correct exposures and framing (It's in my gallery).
These days one of my cats started to pose like a great model, adjusting poses on the composition I needed everytime.
My wife is worried for me...
I posted this photo just because She doesn't know English...
Please don't tell her, I don't like my doctor!
Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/125 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 55.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 300D DIGITAL

Dude, you crack me up (funny)! My dogs do nothing but lay around! I really like that your cat lined up perfectly for you. I cant even get my kids to stand where I want them to. I think your wife and my wif should be friends. They seem to have a lot in common. :) The capture is excellent. #5573347Flavio Carnevale February 29, 2008

I enjoyed the picture and the story. For me keep on listening to your pets, Great job! #5574132Marina Moore February 29, 2008
Flavio, I'm a little worried too, but I say out loud "this won't hurt a bit" to my images when I'm using photoshop, and sometimes they answer back! ;) Normal, right?????Marina Moore February 29, 2008
'Your' not 'you're'. The cat told me. :) #5574430Scott A. McDaniel February 29, 2008
That's why I normally post from 11pm to 2 am, so I don't get in trouble. At least until the next morning when I wake up and she says "you were up how late?"Of course I am kidding...kind of. #5574443

Ha ha --- Flavio, you're such a comedian! Your gatto is posing perfectly. Love the comp and the combination of B&W and color. #5575378Flavio Carnevale March 01, 2008
Thank you all my friends for your help.Scott A. McDaniel March 01, 2008
Change her Tuna to Mackerel! If that doesn't work ask the dog. #5577840Deb Koskovich March 01, 2008
My goodness, you have a talented and valuable cat --mine just runs when he sees the camera! Wonderful image, Flavio, and I just loved your story. Your wife just doesn't know what she is missing! (Hint: if you can get hold of some Fancy Feast cat food, she will accept that as payment in full...trust me on this one.) #5577857Deb Koskovich March 01, 2008
Oh, on the Fancy Feast -- I meant for your cat, not your wife, LOL! #5577861Flavio Carnevale March 01, 2008
I will try with mackerel for wife and Fancy feast for the cat. Hope it works!Scott A. McDaniel March 01, 2008
I've had Mackerel before, she might prefer fancy feast. #5580214Nadine A. Lewis March 02, 2008

Flavio, You are a creative person. We must be related in some way. Your photos are great and your stories are funny. My wife stopped asking if I was taking the camera with me a long time ago. she knows I am nuts, just look at my gallery. We all share the same Illness: Creativity. Embrace it. Its what our spouses love about us, no matter what they say.Flavio Carnevale May 30, 2008
