As a camera, it makes a good phone…

Some long promised photos of Heather’s first swim, and a couple of bonus shots from the memory card…

…along with the least-worst shot of Tiara tonight – Shadow’s sister!

8 week portraits posted on the EweTurn web site

The pups are now 8 weeks old, and most of them are going to new homes in a day or so [...]

First (published) pic from the new camera

Wonderful to see the detail in the shadows while still seeing the texture in their collars for a change!  It used to be one or the other.   Just twisted it into Automatic and shots like this just curled off..

6-week old pics, courtesy of Edwina

Enjoy!

These pics were a real worry – I am so used to correcting colour, tone, artifacts, and you name it… that I couldn’t improve on the raw crops of these pictures!  That’s the difference a proper camera makes.  Especially when driven by someone who knows what they’re doing.

A not-so-lazy Sunday running around town

Back into training for Utility class Obedience at last. Finally found a reasonably priced camera of decent quality (a Canon EOS 30D). [...]

Six weeks, 42 days. The Answer to life, the Universe and Everything

The pups had a day out of the house today, visiting Auntie Jacqui’s for a photoshoot and the vet for a 6-week healthcheck and C4 vaccination. If only they were as compliant in the morning as they were at the vets! [...]

Day #41 a romping good time in the yard

Plants beware!  Puppy alert!

Oh well, I didn’t want that fruit tree anyway.  I’ve always said that the most valuable thing in my yard was Gemma.  Multiply that by six.

The camera I’m after was finally announced this afternoon – the Canon EOS 5D mk2.  Trouble is, it won’t be available until November.  It’s [...]

Day #32 Another lazy day in the sun

Lo, and it was so.

It must be time for the camera to go back, now that I can get it to do what I want it to do most of the time!

The pups made rather less of a mess last night, so they didn’t visit the Torture Chamber again today.

They are [...]

Day #32 Ah, now I get it. A bit. I think.

The camera I’ve been using to take the recent shots (and video) is borrowed.   Without manual.  It has some pretty exotic ideas about what is ‘logical,’ and seems to go out of its way to make it hard to access the features I know/knew it had.

I’ve found a few references to it on [...]
