Shooting dogs

29/9/2012

Yesterday I revisited the Jenkin's Reserve Dog Park. There were lots of dogs there, many of them competing in the sprint racing event. They were harnessed and pulled a scooter-type contraption while the (human) rider scooted behind. I'd never seen it before - it was amusing - so watched for a while then went into the enclosed area to shoot some of the dogs that were playing there.

I was shooting on Av so there wasn't much need for camera adjustments, and I was able to keep up with the fun and frivolities. Willow (below) caught my attention because of his/her beautiful blue eyes. As I was shooting I was also planning what I would do with the shot during post-processing. This is what the camera snapped:

Room for improvement

Last weekend I went to my daughter's Year 11 formal. She'd asked me to take my camera along so I warned her I still hadn't mastered flash photography. I wasn't sure how the images were going to turn out so I played around with the angle of the flash. For the image below, I turned the flash up towards the ceiling in the hope I wouldn't blind them and produce overly-lit subjects. The ceiling was too high for decent bounce light. The result was underlit bodies.

This weekend I went to a friend's house. She has a young son and was keen for me to shoot him while I was there. I was happy to oblige.

Shooting at the beach

Last weekend I was commissioned to do a shooting session at the beach. I was really looking forward to it - my beach shoots always produce great images. And I'd just bought a chair specifically to use on shoots so was keen to try it out. I didn't want it to look out of place or to steal the scene for all the wrong reasons. I think it worked OK.
