Any pointers on dog photography (besides get the hand out of the picture)? I volunteer at the humane society and one of the other volunteers and I who play around with photography a little have decided to take over the website picture responsibilities. Any pointers/suggestions (e.g., best time of day to shoot, flash positions, etc....) would be greatly appreciated.

I had a snowboarding themed shoot planned for over a month but most of the snow melted in the week right before the shoot. Then we got 10 inches of snow the day after, just my luck.

Hey, turn that frown upside down. Umm where would you start?

I'm currently pretty sick and don't even have the energy toleave the house but I was able to take a few shots from my bedroom window! Even a bad case of the flu/pneumonia can't stop an addict although the 7d + 100-400mm sure seems alot heavier right now so photos aren't the best ...

The birds were pretty grateful thata squirrel brought bread over from the neighbors yard andleft it in my tree!

Denise

Get better soon Denise.


Pics looks Ace.


Wally

Thank you, Wally! Much appreciated!

My first attempt at anything like this. I figure it should be good enough for eBay [:P]Gold trimmed custard glass made sometime between 1890 and 1905. SB-28 with a 40 something inch shoot through umbrella camera left. I used a roll of paper to make a seamless background.

Here is a shot of the setup:

Nice tweety pies Denise. Have you been shovelling too much snow?

gschaps, I love this action shot!!


Great looking dog Steve! I've got a dog shoot in couple weeks so these are getting me excited!


Denise I hope you feel better soon! And I really admire your love for photography! : )


Baker, that looks surprisingly pristine for such an antique! Or maybe it's the lighting haha

A shot form last Saturday night...a little "busy" for composition but I liked the lighting I got with B&amp;W


Not much for stage lighting at the show so i shot B&amp;W all night...


I did capture in RAW so here is one favorite processed from RAW...

I know! I couldn't believe the condition they are in! Only two out of 19 pieces are cracked. And even then it is a very small crack.

I was out driving and it was a nice sunset tonight, and had to find some thing quick to put with it.

Denise...great pictures of the eagles. I especially like the one above. Hope you feel better.


Two more juvenile eaglesand duck from me taken this past weekend:

Thanks! I hope the next time I go I can get as close a shot as yours in photo #2! That looks great!


I am going to try &amp; redo mine above using Joel

Ha! I was thinking the same thing looking at yours. Mine are highly cropped. I am 50-70 yds, sometimes more,from the eagles and I would love to get closer.

Went to a Bloodstock sale on the weekend. Never done that before, lot of blokes standing around looking at auction books and breeding lines. Machine gun mouth auctioneers rattling away, shouting in comprehensible rythmic phrases. And me with my hands stuffed in my pockets, trying not to sneeze or wave at anyone, in case I ended up buying a horse.


Horses don't like posing, saleyards are not the place for easy composition, well not for me anyway as I wondered about trying not to step in anything. But there were pretty horses there.


In fact here are some snaps of some pretty fillies getting led around by big brown horses. I sound like I'm in the trade.

That one went for $14000.

This one couldn't read.

Wrangler butts, drive me nuts and I didn't like the way this horse was looking at me.


Thanks for viewing.

Denise &amp; Kayaker;


Some nice shots of the ABEs....


Kayaker, your shot locations look really familiar.....it's been a great winter for shooting ABEs (actually all birds) on Deer Is, Merrimack River.


Here are a couple of my captures in the past few weeks.

Bill,


LOL!!! Really, I did, I think I scared someone in the office next to mine....[:D] Deer Island on the Merrimack has been great. It is my first year, so maybe I am just getting lucky, but it has been a lot of fun. I have a bunch of that same juvenile with the roughed up wing (GREAT PIC BTW). Actually, I may have a pic of when he got roughed up.


Really, you are killing me with those photos. Really great!Are you using a 500 mm or 600 mm lens??? You have amazing detail in those photos.


Ok, since I am posting again, another picture [:P]:

Brant;


I just acquired the 500 f4 IS a few weeks ago....and it's really been an exceptional winter for spotting ABEs. The only issues are; they're staying too close to the east bank (too far) and not a lot of visibility by the adults.


But the variety of the other birds and their willingness to pose is making up for the ABEs reluctance to cooperate.

Welcome back, Bill! Your photos are awesome and definitely an inspiration for what I

As a native Californian, I can't believe I've never been here until this week. This is Natural Bridges State Park in Santa Cruz.


7D, 10-22mm at 21 mm, f/29, 0.3 sec, ISO 100, EV -2/3, and one nearly tipped over tripod!

Nice scene Erno, like the colors.


I thought you might appreciate these, five of us got together yesterday for a long lunch.

We then adjourned back to one blokes house for a top up and he had a pretty good cellar going years back so he put on a Rhone evening for us.

Bit of a fuzzy head this morning, no complaints though.


Steve

Beautiful photo, erno! I

thanks for the kind remarks. Denise, California has its wonderful scenery, but about 75 miles north of Santa Cruz is San Francisco, where SNOW is forecast for this Saturday! Have you considered a photo vacation to the Southwest US Deserts? There are so many incredible places to shoot in a fairly small radius. Utah and Northern Arizona offer at least a week

Every now and then you have to take one for the team Erno. Generous friends are a blessing and it was an extended session not every bottle was emptied. I was still taking photos at the end.


I got some dusty all reds left and plenty of room, because it would be an expensive cab ride home from my place for you guys.

Thank you Denise....hope you get some more "adult" ABEs.


Brant and I have enough juvies in our collections.
