anniek Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 just a quick action shot taken in the back yard yesterday afternoon - my foster Boxer Canon 7D lens 30mm AV mode ISO 800 shutter speed 6400 (never go much slower for greyhound action shots) aperture 3.2 exposure compensation (for white dog) - 2/3 metering centre weighted (again for white dog - then cropped/recomposed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Great capture Annie, white dogs are tough! When I looked at the picture I thought Mmmmm that dog doesn't look like a boxer. :laugh: Then I realized boxer had to be his name! Do you love your 30mm?

Kirislin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 here's some more of my favourite portraits. All of the same dog, and she's not mine. It's Iggy Mums beautiful little girl Zoey, who has to be about the most photogenic little princess I've ever met. I'm not big on editing so they're all pretty much straight out of camera.

tlc Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 :laugh: Its amazing how hard it is to get good shots of them, I love my white girl with a good colourful back ground, I think black dogs are harder to shoot than white. Ive just been to the hospital to do my volunteer work with Tully and her ebign white and the other dog that we go with being black, the photos are always a bit hit and miss, I just snap away with my iPhone. They are like ebonie and ivory. :laugh: Black and White & the good old iPhone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I looked at the picture I thought Mmmmm that dog doesn't look like a boxer. :laugh: Then I realized boxer had to be his name! Do you love your 30mm? mmm sorry - he has one brindle eyebrow and ear - that's how he got his name I expect, but yes he is a greyhound. Yes I love my Sigma 30mm 1.4 - it is just the right 'size' for capturing greys. 50mm is 'too close' for portraits in the house, and for zoomies in the yard. My everday day lens - that I attach for a day out for no particular reason (if you know what I mean), is my sigma 17 - 70. White dogs are the worst, especially if next to a black dog. Love photographing black dogs on their own though - easy peasy with 'nice' light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huga Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Oh yes, white dogs. Who on earth would have one of those? :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raineth Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 White and black dogs should be banned I say :laugh: yes my dog has (roughly) half a white face and half a black face. And it can make things very difficult! Also I have an extremely pale, fair-haired child and she has these lovely moments with our black dog Digby and I can never capture them properly because of their colouring!

tlc Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Oh yes, white dogs. Who on earth would have one of those? :laugh: I am really partial to any white dogs, I just love the lighter colours, very dam hard to keep them clean though especially with a full coat and a park full of horse poo. Raineth, you have a dane right? For some reason I thought you had a lab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lollipup Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Taking selfies today was not successful selfies are quite challenging I think! Definitely! Not for a newbie. I had fun at the start but it wore off quickly when I couldn't get any good shots. Was wishing my remote was here already too. I learned something new though - the self timer can only take multiple shots if the flash is off. The photos were supposed to be an anniversary present to my husband so I will make do with what I have and the rest of the gift can be that he can take some of me himself LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lollipup Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Another question- my camera has 2 card slots so I use both, I chose to have one as JPEG and one as RAW so that I can experiment with RAW files. But when I put the card that's meant to have RAW on it into the computer, it says they are JPEGS. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? I have checked both cards.

tlc Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Taking selfies today was not successful Thats a pity I know how you feel, Selfies are not my thing, too hard, might have a crack if I get a remote. Not sure about your card issue? I have had a play today, the back yard int he arvo can be tough light so much sun and shadows today, I have a big shaded area from buses too but I had fun, so did the dogs. Ok I have a question for RAW users, can I import a RAW file to LR and then just edit it to a preset and thats it? I am not sure Im doing the RAW thing right as I look at the pics and think they look fine and don't need anything doing to them?? I tweak them a bit, but not much and I think they look ok, they way I hear people talk about RAW files I feel I'm not doing enough to them? ANyway here are two that were RAW with a preset added, do you think they work? Im working on getting the whole body in as I usually only get the top half. Thoughts anyone?
