Lighting Affects Rabbit's Appearance




Professional photographers use artificial lighting to optimize the photos they take.  Without having to buy expensive equipment, us Angora lovers can use the natural light to enhance the appearance of our photos.  Here are two photos of the same English Angora taken a few minutes apart, let's see.....



Franky, one of the fluffy brothers, is on a table in the shade.   It's around 6 pm, the sun is going down, the sky is not as bright.     Franky is handsome, but look at the next photo:



This is also Franky, this photo was taken only a few minutes before the first photo.  Around 6 pm, sun is going down but still have a few spots that the ray of sunset is shining at.   Putting Franky at the sunset ray results in this gorgeous golden colored photo.   There is no adjustment of the color by any software, it's the natural sunset color.   For a warm colored rabbit, such as the fawn and tort, chestnut, chocolate, ... the warm sunset ray is very helpful in getting pretty photos.   However, the rabbits with cold colors such as white, black, blue, ... sunset ray is not a suitable lighting, it's too orangish that distorts the crisp cold colors.
