BLACK CAT width-36 The darker rain clouds wereI try as much as possible to work against the light, not directly into the sun, but about 45 degrees either side of it. With a black leopard like this, there is no point even considering the light source, the brief is simply to hope to get something in the limited seconds available. As it happened, on this occasion, the light was almost exactly at that 45 degrees. Available Sizes (Framed Size) Large: 67" x 116" (170 cm x 295 cm) Standard: 52" x 86"
