It took me some time to set this shot up because of 2 things. The first being trying to get the puppy to stay focused and still, and the second getting the right lighting. The sun kept going behind the clouds every time I attempted to take the shot. When it finally came back the puppy had moved. In the end I like the result. Mainly the soft background I think sets this photo and well the puppy makes it cute!

This is a shot I didn't know how it was going to look when I took it. It looks completely different on the computer than it did on the LCD on the camera. At first I thought it would look like a puppy's face with the body hidden behind. then I thought it would look like a puppy laying on the grass. Instead I got what looks like a puppy who's head has been detached and there is a gap between his head and body or his neck has grown to the size of a giraffe's. I am very happy with how this has turned out and the colours are tops! I thought I would take advantage of the beautiful sunny day we were having.

Whilst I'm here I want to say thankyou to D, Woo and Drue for their assistance and teachings on the topic of photography. I have learnt alot from them all and the results are starting to show. Thanks Guys!

    Nawww, he's such a cute puppy! I remember when my dog was cute.. now he's just an asshole ;) I'm quite liking the use of short focal length to bring the subject right into frame while the background fades away.. very nice :D

In an attempt to be social

I don't normally post things like this but this seems like my only source of release at the moment. Should I give up being social? Over the last week I invited 3 friends to meet up and have a coffee. None of them replied. I can understand maybe one or even two of them ignoring me but all three. Hmmm. After a crappy week I thought it would be good to meet up and have a chat with a friend but seeing I didn't get that chance, I relied on the things that always cheers me up, my beautiful wife and puppy and the progress on my new home. Thankfully not all was lost. Yesterday I attended a party for a friends birthday. It was good to just chill and have a good time. Happy Birthday Druey :-) Looks like another week ahead on the other side of happy. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad

Grass Fire Cranebrook

A quiet afternoon at home after work listening to my radio, I heard NSWFB head out to a grass fire at Cranebrook. After a few messages were passed I thought this would be a great opportunity to get some shots of fire, firefighter and fire trucks. I jumped in the car and headed out. The fire lasted a few hours and allowed me to get some good shots. Here are a few from my Flickr set. Click here to view the rest.
