dogs....my other passion

here's a couple of pics taken over the weekend. I'd been having problems getting good action pics of Bailey moving ( ;) fast) ...they're better but there's still room for improvement. Good part is ...she doesn't mind doing the same thing again and again and again ...

pics taken when she was playing with a friend.....Bailey's the redhead :D

Very cute... I love dogs as well... my fiancée and I want to get a couple pugs... we'll see. ;) Animals are generally hard to photograph when they're always on the run... it just takes some patience, and you'll find them turning out well. :D Keep it up!

here's a photo I took at work last week....Kylie belongs to one of the ladies who works with us

SO CUTE! I can't wait until we get our own pugs...

(I'd better hide this thread or it'll make my fiancée want one even more.. hehe) ;) :lol:

this is turning into a celebration of dogs :lol: here's a pic of Cody and Chase....both ex-spca dogs.

Am in the process of putting together some pics for the calendar next yr. Just a local one but it's used for fundraising and usually sells well.

btw would appreciate critique on any of the pics I post...am always looking at how I could improve on any photo I take

Yeah, I liked this picture as well... the backlighting makes for a couple "hot" areas, though, and the dogs aren't really facing the camera, but over, a pretty good picture. :D

I love pet pics...Here is a picture of my boxer; he was in his “time out” chair because he ate my banjo case!
Dozer

That is an adorable photograph, Dozer. Hard to be mad at a dog with puppy eyes like that! ;)

Yeah...I think Tim was right...practice and patience will make great action shots. I used to show jump horses and my Dad spent a lot of time getting the timing just right, so that the photos would come out right. I'm sure you'll find the same type of results if you stick with it. My Dad even managed later on to win a photo contest by catching my horse in mid-yawn in the pasture one day. Action is tough...but I think it's rewarding.

thanks Jenna :D

went to one of our local dogshows and managed to get a few pics - here's a little cavalier

gorgeous photo of your boxer Dozer.....what's his name and how old?

Very cute cavalier!! Adorable... if only the sky was a little darker, the picture would have turned our fantastic. You captured the eyes really well with this shot, though... ;) Remind me a little of my parents cocker spaniel. ;)

At the time my pup was 6 months old… he is now a year old! His name is Sgt Dozer! :wink:
I love the pics of your Golden & King Charles! My pup is so food driven I find if I just mention food to him I can get the best facial expression; this might help when photographing other dogs. Or you could always walk around with baloney in your pocket!

LOL... good idea... I bet baloney would work well... hehe.

Nice photo Sue. I love the Cavalier spaniels...I want one, I want one...
