Week #3: This picture of Brock was taken, specifically for the 52 weeks for Dogs Group.

Technically : I had the overhead light available and used an on camera SB800 flash. I held Brock's chew bone captive until he gave me a good look and shot. Its funny how he knows what he's supposed to do.

Self Assessment: I like the look he gave me, but I'm not fond of the background. I wanted to get the fire in the picture too. But I just couldn't get it all in.

Week #3: This picture of Brock was taken, specifically for the 52 weeks for Dogs Group. Every morning Brock patiently waits for my dad to finish his oatmeal. When he's done, Brock gets the pleasure of licking the bowl. Its the ONLY time we let him have something from the table. He looks forward to it each and every morning.

Technically : I had the overhead light available and light coming from a sliding glass door directly behind my dad. I used a the SB800 Flash on camera bounced. My ISO was bumped up to 400. I also offset my focal point to the side and used a shallow dof. Brock was so engrossed by the food, I didn't have to do anything to get him to look a certain way, it just came naturally.

Self Assessment: My dad's expression is kind of goofy, but I really like the look Brock is giving me, or well the food. I did crop this one. I hope I didn't crop it too tight.

Week #2: This picture of Brock was taken, specifically for the 52 weeks for Dogs Group. I was so busy today I didn't really have time to plan a great photo shoot for Brock. Instead, I was mean, I put one of his toys on the ceiling fan. This got him to look up. I'm short so I stood on the couch and took his photo.

Technically : I only had the overhead light available. I used a the SB800 Flash on camera bounced. My ISO is up to 400.

Self Assessment: The lighting is uneven, so I added a vignette to help cover it up.

Week #1: This picture of Brock was taken, specifically for the 52 weeks for Dogs Group. We are at the beach for our annual New Years trip, camping in our RV. This year I will be shooting photos of our airedale Brock. Some of you may remember him...he's back!

Technically : Its very stormy and I didn't have much available light. I should have used my fill flash, but it was too much to carry. Brock is tethered to a tree because he like to bolt.

Self Assessment: Its too dark. I needed to use my fill flash.

Week #52: This picture of Max was taken, specifically for the 52 weeks for Dogs Group. Took Max and Brock in the back yard for a run about. Max was enjoying playing with his cousins, a white westie and a mix breed. We had lots of rain yesterday, today though was fairly dry.

Technically : Afternoon, outside, overcast. Pointed camera down at Max, had SB800 flash on.

Self Assessment: Well, last photo I thought I was satisfied with the lighting, but I was wrong, this one is better. The last one was too dark.
