Peter Klein showed: more dog pics. :-) Subject: IMG: Making herself at home Warning, dog pictures. For those who have not yet tired of Tilly pictures: The perch: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/family/Tilly09/L1005114TillySofaTop- w.jpg.html Forget princess, I want to be Queen! http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/family/Tilly09/L1005115TilleySofaTop SitCrop-w.jpg.html The Joy of Chewing. 1/11 second with some (I think) appropriate motion blur. B&W or color? The light was weird, with a lot of green from the outside bushes mixing with the sky light through the window. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/family/Tilly09/L1005118TillyBoneBW-w .jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/family/Tilly09/L1005118TillyBone-w.j pg.html Sweet barking NylaBone, that M8 shutter is LOUD! http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/family/Tilly09/L1005120TillyBoneStar tle-w.jpg.html Hi Peter, I like the gnarling on the bone simply because it does have the "action blur!" It's the "action of the dog" that attracted you to shoot, so why not shoot it deliberately with some blur as you have? That is as long as viewers can still recognize what's happening. Dog chewing on bone! So often photographers see an action, are motivated to shoot, then do so at 1/8000 to "STOP THE ACTION!" When in effect, if they used some common sense a slight blurring is far more effective in the story telling of the scene. Good on you, it worked very well to go along with those that he is sharp. ted
