4060. PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: Oriental Garden Lizard basking on a tree trunk. Catch light.

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: CATCH LIGHTS

10 Sep 2022:  CATCH LIGHT IN PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY



Cannot get too close as the lizard will either jump off the tree or scurry up tree.
I was inside the car. Park close to it. Unwind window from passenger seat.
Support my camera on window sill of car or some inside car support from driver side.
Focus my Canon R5 on his eye. P Mode.
Took several shots continuous mode in sets of 3. Only 3 are OK. This is one of them.

Catch light in eye makes this photo an attractive one. It came from the morning sun, around 9.30 AM.

 

A catch light is a spark of light in your subject’s eyes. This spark will help you to draw your viewer’s attention to your subject’s eyes, making them full of life and, well, sparkling.

The light source must be visible as a reflection in the subject’s eyes.
