Bedroom Eyes

October 24, 2008 – 6:44 am

When I saw this shot, I immediately thought of a boudoir scene. The sofa, the relaxed pose, those eyes. She could be the poster girl for pet companionship.

Does anyone know what breed she might be?

High Key Dog

October 22, 2008 – 6:46 am

A couple of days ago I mentioned that I had a personal project to share. As you may have guessed from No Dogs on Dropzone I spent Saturday at San Diego Skydiving. No…I didn’t jump out of a perfectly good plane, but my husband and a few friends did. I stayed firmly planted on the ground and since I had my camera I thought I’d see if there were any potential dog shots for the blog.

Given the first sign I encountered, I suspected I wouldn’t find any, but I did indeed find some furry pals to photograph. While I only took a few photos, I decided as I was downloading them to see if I could get a weeks worth of blog entries without them looking completely repetitive. So here goes….let’s see if I can bring seven photos from Saturday without boring you all to tears. This is #2.

A distinguished lady

Can you believe this old girl is 15? I think she is adorable, and really enjoyed photographing her in her family home back in Canberra. I also love that she matches the decor so perfectly.

The Beagles are here

July 30, 2008 – 5:56 am

I’ve had some slight technical difficulty getting today’s post up , so my apologies for those of you who checked in earlier. Hopefully the post looks a bit more normal now.

I thought I had better post a photo of a Beagle pretty soon. I had heard murmerings from a couple of blog reading Beagle lovers, so I though I had better appease the masses.

I was obviously going through a real ‘angle’ phase when I undertook this photo session. It was particularly obvious to me when I rediscovered these photos last weekend. While the angle might be a little much for my current tastes I still love the image. I’m a bit of a fan of almost monochromatic colour schemes where the dogs match the colours of their surroundings.

I didn’t do it

June 12, 2008 – 7:37 am

This georgeous chocolate lab is called Wombat, after the Australian marsupial. When I discovered her name I nodded at the resemblance. Wombats are fabulous creatures which aren’t really seen that often in the wild, but during one trip to Cradle Mountain in Tasmania I had an up close and personal experience with a BIG one.

Anyway, back to this Wombat. As you can see, she has mastered ‘the look’. The ‘there is no way I could have done it becuase I’m so darn cute’ look. In this case, she was allowed on the special rug for photos. She knew she wasn’t supposed to be there and was just making sure with Mum that it was ok to sit there.

The original processing I did on this photo had quite bright colours so I added a bit of an old school feel to bring the image back in line with the furnishings in the background. I think I like the muted colours better on this one.

Cav

May 27, 2008 – 7:57 am

There is something about Cavalier King Charles Spaniels which makes them so photogenic. I think it might be a combination of their compact little face, beautiful coat and ears that frame the face. They always seem to take great photos, just like this other Cav puppy I photographed.
