Dog tales (5 images)
Posted By: hamidlmt, 08-23-2007, 01:21 AM

I've found that photographing dogs to be a great way to hone my photographic chops. Composition, exposure, finding the best light and waiting for the right moment has to be done so quickly, since our furry friends seldom slow down. These were taken at Dogs in the City doggie daycare, where I take my Chaya. Comments always welcome. The entire series is at my smugmug site in the Pets section. Enjoy!

These were taken with the K10D and the FA 50mm 1.4, except for number 1, which was taken with the *istDS and the DA 14mm 2.8.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially the one with the two doggies looking at the bubbles. The expression on the little black one is adorable. Thanks for making me smile

Nice dog pics. Made me smile. I love the looks on the dogs faces in the second one especially.

Thanks all! I always have such a blast at the doggie daycare. The owners have become very dear friends.

egordon... that little black dog it Rocky. Out of all my dog shots, he's the only one that's been accepted into the Pentax Photo Gallery... twice! I haven't even gotten my own dog in! LOL!

thomas... he really was posing, by my suggestion. Sometimes I'll hold up a ball or something to get them to look a certain way. It gives me that extra second or so to get a shot.

Of course I like these shots because they're of sweet pups! I particularly like the bubble shot.

My dog does not get along well with others, so doggy day care is not an option for us - even though I've got three within blocks of me!

Ooooh ... nice series ... looking forward to getting my FA50.
I am hoping to get some pics of my ultra-hypo Border Collie ... I guess I'll at least have half a chance with a quicker lens.

Just had a shot from this series (it's not in the original post) that was accepted into the Pentax Photo Gallery!
