Week 51 in 52 Weeks for Dogs

Tasku with our tree lights bokeh.
I found it difficult to get the lighting right for this; took lots of shots at different flash settings and still not entirely happy with her eyes. I really could do with a speedlight workshop as even reading the manual leaves me floundering :o(

Week 50 in 52 Weeks for Dogs and it is that time of year again. Time for my tolerant dogs to put up with my whims and fancies.

Week 3 in 52 Weeks for Dogs and I'm using one of the photos I took for my 'unusual perspective' assignment in Studio 26. I hadn't intended to but I really like the way this one turned out and want it in my 52 project. Shot 'blind' and one handed, with the flash in the other hand.

Studio 26: A couple more shots for the 'unusual perspective' assignment in Studio 26.
I had some fun with my wide angle lens last night, trying odd angles as well as crawling around on the floor at Tasku's level (previous photo).
Apologies for the paintwork, we are halfway through decorating.

This was taken for my second studio 26 assignment, improving composition by cropping. This is my favourite of all the crops I did, very different to the original.
