Awww! Gorgeous photos and cute subject.

A couple from the Ekka on Saturday...

And good teachers Edited to remove pics because I posted them in the wrong thread

Thanks Amazing what a new camera and lens can do.

*puts on Zoolander voice* I am just lucky enough to have subjects that are really ridiculously good looking A couple from the Ekka today (still not sure if they fit - I am still struggling a bit with this challenge!):

I take back my foot stomping.

Well, I assumed I'm ineligible because I have a Nikon? Yay Charche!

Not fair! Hey Bec - did you enter the now infamous Charche-Flex pic in this comp last year?

You will need AF-S (motor in the lens) as opposed to just AF. Which unfortunately makes them more expensive adn I don't think the 1.8 comes as AF-S: http://d-d-photographics.com.au/nikonslracc.htm#50afs

I thought the bath lastnight would be a good opportunity, but now I'm not sure.... Cheating Cheating Possibly not quite?

What do you mean? I guess her breed or cross breed (small) and her temprement/personality makes her a good practice baby. She loves to be with us and is oh so adorable but I think lots of breeds are like that??? Some toy breeds were developed to be baby substitutes. They have large head size compared to their small body, have large round eyes in comparison with their head size, and have had their muzzles shortened to give a round 'baby-face' appearance. They were bred to be house companions and to be cuddled. The phenomenon is called neoteny. Besides that, I do notice on DOL that a lot of owners of these sort of breeds tend to refer to themselves as their dog's Mummy and refer to their partners as their dog's Daddy. Happens with other breeds as well, but it seems to be more prevalent with young childless couples that own 'baby-faced' breeds like cavs or shih tzus. Or pugs

I call our dogs 'practice babies' and since we didn't kill them, we were allowed to have real babies. I'm only joking though, dogs aren't much like real babies at all

They're lovely CM! This challenge is um... challenging. Not sure if I'm going to be able to contribute much

I do love Jamie's funny little ears :D 31/52:

I really like this idea: 30 days of grateful It's part of a larger series, but we could do a 30 day one

Thank you. It's been a steep learning curve, but I have inspiring friends :D

I love my dogs prong collar Without it, he wouldn't get walked as often as he does. And yes, I have tried it - around my thigh. It pinches and is uncomfortable - not painful.

Thanks - I've been going back through this thread when everyone was starting out - it's so cute! Everyone has come such a long way since it started. Oh how I love my new little lens...

Thanks Shell. I am definitely having fun

I got a 50mm 1.8 today! So I toddled off to the Ron Mueck exhibition to test it out...

I have a pug and a pug x GSD (probably more GSD like in temperament) that have run together forever The GSD tolerates so much from the pug, way more than he would tolerate from any other dog.

I've been asked by Panasonic to test out this camera Looking forward to it.

I love the colours in that one, CM I didn't leave it until the last minute this week! 30/52:

Love the puppies! X is for Xylaphone Y is for Yell Z is for Zoo All done The whole set is here.

That's the same model as ours Amps It's a great little camera.
