Soft window light

The bay window provides me with lovely light. Shot at 1600 ISO,  f/4 and 1/200s using my 40mm pancake lens

Nina was very interested in whatever was going on outside in the cul de sac.

Maya had to check on what I was doing. She looks kind of ticked off, but she wasn’t. I promise.

Jezebel chilled at the other end of the sofa.

Nina and the Grid

I bought a set of grids for my Einstein. Grids are used to restrict the spread of the light.  The other night I took the 10° grid for a ride.   I shot these in our family room. The light spread is so narrow you can’t see the furniture behind her.

 

 

 

New Vantage Point

I’ve taken to leaving the living room blinds open halfway during the day so the dogs can watch the goings on in the cul-de-sac. Buddy has discovered that the sofa gives him a comfortable vantage point.

Nina likes to stand on her hind legs with her front paws on the window sill or just dance on the love seat opposite the sofa.

Lips on a Dog?

Nina looks like she’s about ready to say something to me. Normally Nina doesn’t look like this, but the set of her mouth reminds me of the cartoons I used to watch when I was a kid. They had the characters’ mouths move in a very human-like way using a technique known as Syncro-Vox. As a child I found it rather creepy.
