It seems we all worked on something we were not too familiar with.

Completely Disappear practiced working on shutter speed while taking pictures on a moving vehicle. Bodhi the first world dog got his picture converted to black and white, rather than his usual colour shots of his beautiful coat. I was pretty much trying to apply the rule of thirds, and sometimes breaking it, when taking shots of Donna in a crate.

We have some great pictures of dogs for last week’s entries. :D

A close up of Bodhi’s tired paws, a longer shot of Donna asleep on her cushion bed and a shot of Kookkai, a dog who resists taking pictures. It’s interesting the relationship with the dog and the camera. Some shun it. Some get used to it. Perhaps a dog is more cooperative as it gets closer to its humans. Perhaps the more exposed the dog was to the camera being where it is when one is holding it to take a shot, the easier it becomes to start taking its prescence for granted. Of course, one still needs to be quick about it before the dog loses patience with you :P
