That was one of the reasons I thought I had no chance! I can't photoshop and have the paint skills of a 4 year old! Just had to crop the pet UI out away at one side. I thought some PS pro's would have been right in there!
So I have lots of questions about how you all did it!
Who used their own pet? I spent hours trying to get my pet to stop backing off when I approached him, and to try and get the camera to bring him more in shot than me. The it dawned on me after I submitted it that I probably could have got closer to someone else's pet!
And those who got someone else to take the pic, or get someone handy with PS.. that's clever... What other tips did people come up with to take great pet pics? How did you all do it? not just the winners
Did you try lots of pets till you found the most photogenic?
I tried a few pets and outfits till I found one who would play nicely. Spent ages messing around with the contrast, brightness etc to find what looked nice
I was chasing the sun around the continents, trying to get that light just in that "
Magic hour". Found myself searching the map for the strongest colours and searching them out to find the terrain with all the right contrasting colours. Usually just as I found the right spot.. the light would change! Or worse still.. the trees would cast their shadows.. doh!
