This is a big step for me.
I set up an area where my dogs could come and lay down, and I could somewhat inconspicuously take some pictures of them. I basically draped a blanket over an ottoman and had some of it laying on the ground so they would have somewhere to lay. But, it was a lot harder than I expected.
This is Brody. He was a stray that slept a night on our front porch, was picked up by Animal Control the next day, and officially adopted by the Williams family a week later. He is deathly afraid of thunderstorms and any other assorted loud noises, such as planes flying overhead. At times, he can be quite a pain, but he is so sweet. Brody is the King of Funny Faces, and has a very hard time keeping still.
This is great one of him. :)
Now this is Maggie. She's the old girl. There was no way she was going to move from her chair, so I just took shots of her sitting in her favorite chair.
At this point, she was ready to be done.

This is something I want to bring attention to. I have been trying to get used to adjusting my shots and tweaking things like aperture and ISO to get the result that I want. So, with this picture, which was shot with the dogs facing our front door, which lets in a lot of light, I wanted Maggie's face to be illuminated, but not to the extent that it was in the first picture. I ended up turning down the ISO quite a bit, which gave me the effect that I wanted.
Isn't it nice, being able to get what you want?
So long,
