So I was experimenting with flash settings this evening as I’ve recently gotten some new equipment, so I set up in the living room and used my dogs as something less-then-willing models. It did require some sneaking up on them.
At first they didn’t really pay that much attention (I was very sneaky… well, except when those bright flashes starting bouncing light around an otherwise dimly lit room).
One picture was okay with the boxer-boy, but when I took this second one he started looking concerned.
By the third picture, he had moved to distinctly disapproving. So I thought I’d turn my attention to the next (un) willing model, the stub dog (so called because of her short legs).
I caught her shredding kleenex, only at this moment she’d wadded one up in her mouth and was sort of chewing it, kind of like a cud. She seemed appropriately embarrassed that I’d not only caught her, but recorded her in all of her cow-imitation glory.
See what I mean? Although, by this picture (I took a couple that I deleted) I’m not sure if she was embarrassed by her actions, or more like, askance at me taking pictures of her.
Yeah, I’m thinking askance is more like it. “Stop taking pictures of me, mom!â€
“Maybe if I close my eyes, she’ll stop.â€
She gets so dejected when I take her color away.
Even though I put it back, she was only slightly less dejected. But at this point I’d given myself a headache, and it was probably a wonder that I didn’t actually give either dog a seizure.
Gratuitous kitty picture.
