Hey guys Have been thinking about this for a while and thought I'd finally take the plunge and post it- Basically I'd like to arrange a day where I head down to a popular Sydney dog park with my camera and have a photographing session with DOLers' dogs - I'd like the practice and I'd love to meet some DOLers and their dogs. So basically I guess I'd just like to find out if anyone would be interested in something like that You'd get to keep all your dogs' photos and it would just be a chance for me to gain some more experience. Let me know here or in PM if you're keen - TIA ;) Josie.

This one is so stunning, absolutely love the mood! Too incredibly cute and so creative This one is brilliant too, it has such a mysterious feel to it. You guys are so fantastic.

Definitely my absolute favourite lens It is very versatile, I've used it for all sorts of things-

Just wanted to say brilliant photo Katie That light is incredible.

Here's a couple of me that Mum took while we were away a while ago The dogs weren't all that co-operative, except for Chelse who plonked herself in my lap- Really must get some better ones in the future! You guys are all so gorgeous :D

Voted!

I really love it Shell - does it have to be any smaller than that? It's very noticeable there.

Absolutely awesome photos Ruth, I'd never heard of dock diving before. Looks like Chopper had a brilliant time

I'm so sorry, Jenni. RIP Savannah - have a great time over the bridge

I never received my box *grumble* Absolutely love what everyone's come up with so far, can't wait to see more entries. You guys are seriously so creative!

Don't be sorry Karen, you weren't to know...it sounds to me like you did everything right. The breeder is the only one in the wrong.

She's really gorgeous Karen, hope you have a wonderful time with her

Thanks for inviting me to the thread Ruth 10 Facts About Scarlet- 1. Scarlet was originally named Tick (by Terrorbull) I hated the name Tick, so her name was a toss up between Kally (short for Kalgoorlie, where she came from) or Scarlet. 2. Scarlet was a very impulsive rescue Scarlet came from a rescue TB was working at at the time. TB and I chatted a lot, so I'd look at the rescue's website from time to time. I was looking at it one day and came across Scarlet and asked TB about her. She was 6 months old, going kennel mad and about to be put to sleep because no one had shown any interest in her. Pretty much on the spot I decided I wanted to adopt her and after a bit of begging and pleading with the parentals, she was mine. I've not once regretted it 3. Scarlet is my heart dog After Jaffa, my 8 year old Goldie, passed away I wasn't sure I could have that sort of bond with another dog, until Scarlet came along. Scarlet is the most loving, loyal, goofy, daggy dog I've ever owned and I love her to absolute pieces. She holds a very special place in my heart and I actually just got her paw tattooed on my arm. 4. Scarlet also has a licking obsession If she's not sleeping, she's licking something. She absolutely cannot stand not to be and if she can't, she'll lick the air in front of her. 5. Scarlet is nicknamed 'Staffy Bum' Scarlet could easily pass for a pure Staffy...she has the total Staffy personality and comes complete with notorious Staffy farts. 6. Scarlet talks more than the Huskies Scarlet absolutely loves to woo...she even does it when she has toys in her mouth so that it comes out as a muffled 'roooo'. 7. Scarlet absolutely loves the sun She deliberately seeks out patches of sun to lie in around the house, even if it's boiling hot. She can lie in the hot sun for hours quite contentedly. 8. Scarlet's tail is dangerous Scarlet's tail never stops going...it has knocked numerous drinks over and is constantly lashing people's legs She's always whacking the other dogs in the face with it, too. 9. Scarlet is a bed and doona hog If Scarlet is let up on my bed, she'll smush into my legs as closely as possible, leaving the other half of the bed completely empty. She doesn't bother to move if I want to roll over either. 10. You can never stay mad at Scarlet for long If she gets in trouble, she'll put on a little act of snorting, sneezing, smiling and walking around shaking her bum as hard as possible until you burst into laughter. She'll do this if you're in a bad mood to cheer you up, too.

Hope I'm not too late-

I didn't know you'd gotten another Samoyed....Alchemy is absolutely gorgeous - really stunning shot of her! (him?)

This photo is in this year's calendar... Yep...doesn't mean I'm not allowed to post it...

I'm posting up this one for Shmoo cause I love it and she's stupid -

I may as well contribute - ETA: Their quality is far better, Photobucket just sucks

I only just saw this - I'm so, so sorry Ridgy lover RIP Bella

Hey Rach, what font is this?

Hey guys! Been pretty absent from the photo forum lately, just wanted to stop in and say you're all doing so so well with this challenge, I'm in awe of the photos posted here. A lot of them I think are deserving of daily deviations on deviantART...if you don't know what they are just take it as a big compliment I'm really enjoying watching the thread and really looking forward to seeing what this month (September) has in store. Before this challenge comes to a close I thought I'd contribute two shots-

That one of Zero is really really superb :D The detail is incredible. Best of luck with your next one!

People are doing absolutely awesomely! Terra, that sparkler orb is just brilliant and Blab, I love the one of Dash...he's grown so fast.

Well, my camera is just a little point and shoot, so I put it on 'starry sky' mode, stuck it on my bedside table and set the self timer for 2 seconds. The torch is on my bed head, facing down so most of the light is blocked out. Is that what you meant? Yes, thanks a lot Excellent shot, I actually thought it was light streaming in from a window - love the effect you've created.

Oh I absolutely love this one, I think you've definitely achieved a ghostly effect. The slight movement in it is really eery. Really awesome job! Am definitely going to try something with my piano tonight Huga, can I ask how you managed to focus when you did the self portrait?
