I’ve been busy all day working on the photos that I took at The Amaz!ng Meeting, and tending to chores around the house, so I haven’t had as much time to get creative as I would have liked. However, I’d popped my 50mm lens on my camera yesterday, so I though I’d keep it on while shooting today. Maya proved a semi-willing subject. I shot this with very shallow depth of field.
. . . calms me.
ISO 200, f/1.8, 1/320s
Hey, what are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be at work?
You’re sick?
Working from home? What’s that?
Nevermind…
Can I pleeeeze get in your lap?
They are playing. No growls, just funny high-pitched whines and snorty noises. But don’t these photos make them look fierce?
Tomorrow morning we’ll be heading out the door for five days. They’ll be in good hands, but we’ll miss them. I got my to-dos done earlier than I thought so I pulled out my Speedlite and my reflector umbrella and set them up on the light stand. The cats were nowhere to be found, but the pups were available.
The heat of the day (100+ degrees today) had taken its toll on Buddy, and our big boy wasn’t interested in doing anything but lay out on the carpet.
Nina gave me a little more as she worked hard on the Nylabone, which as you can see, is about as big as she is!
I caught Maya and a jackrabbit staring each other down through the front door this morning. I shot about a dozen photos, alternating focus between Maya and the jackrabbit. I finally settled on this one. I love that they are both looking right at each other and that their ears seem to mirror each other’s.
I’m going through my files and doing some clean-up and I came across this one of Buddy I took back in April. It must have been when I first got my 50mm lens. ISO 400, f/1.8, 1/10s. Handheld, hence the blur, and yet . . . there’s just something about this photo that I missed the first time around.
(Or maybe I’m just imagining it.)
