爆笑萌宠抢镜王(多图)
爱思英语编者按:抢镜并不只是人类的专长,动物也可以!《英国每日邮报》近日征集了很多读者的宠物抢镜照。看这些喵星人,汪星人们是怎样用生命来抢镜的…… Photobombing isn't just the province of human practical jokers, it seems. These pictures show how our furry friends are just as likely to leap in the frame of a well-composed photograph. And it seems Mail Online readers' pets are certainly not camera shy either.
Dozens of readers have sent in their hilarious pictures of pets refusing to share the limelight. The expressions on some of these pets' face suggests they know exactly what they are doing. In one image sent in by Mail Online reader Jakki Antrobus, a black Labrador seems desperate to pull focus from his doggy companion, while in another Claire Burn's dog Peggy pushes in front of the camera in a bid to block fellow pet Betty. It seems dogs across the country are desperate to get their image taken.
Lauren Nicole Archer's pet Ruby Rigby pulled focus as she tried to take a picture of the countryside. Elsewhere Jessica Blencowe's four-year-old Labrador Charlie photo-bombed one-year-old Alfie. One highlight includes rabbit Smokey Joe, who was so desperate to be pictured that he hopped in front of the camera. An angry lemur proved that it was not camera shy when it sabotaged Patrick Vincent Ha-Won's picture during a holiday to Madagascar.
Photobombing, the act of inserting oneself into the frame of a photograph to play a practical joke on the photographer or his subjects, began its rise to mainstream popularity in 2008. It is really a product of the age of disposable, digital photography since, in the age of 35mm film, invading a person's limited number of shots was at best unfortunate and, at worst, highly rude. These days however, with snap-happy cameraphone-toting photographers a dime a dozen, there is no guilt to be attached to invading someone else's photo. It's this act of deliberate sabotage that is the source of photobombing humour. The funniest examples are always those where the interloper successfully deflates an affected air of self-importance that many assume as they're getting ready for their close up.
The moggie proudly posing with a thoughtful stare into the distance, for example, is taken down a peg or two by his canine chum rolling in some unspeakable on the grass behind. Another dog ruins his feline friend's photo by popping right at the moment of shutter release and gawking at the camera with a wide-eyed, gormless grimace. The cats get their own back, though, in their own understated style. Rather than bursting into the frame with a dunderheaded doggy demeanour, they are more likely to peer in from the corner or background with a typically feline, ambiguous stare - as if to say, 'soon...'
