ah, love the dogs. How much do pet-owners pay for this service? Where do the DW’s carry all the dog feces? Wish you track one of these packs around, get all the visual particulars.

Did you take a photo also with the dog walker?

Frankly, I’ve done so many dogwalker shots, that I think it’s the particular human beings in the shot that have ruined most of them for me; so - no - I knew ahead of time that I was just going to try and isolate the dogs.

I am fascinated by the pictures with falling unfocused snow flakes, maybe because we don’t get them here in Sydney. The pictures themselves are well seen but the added bonus is those fat snowflakes.
On another note, some pictures here have a black frame, others not, is there an aesthetic reason for that or do you just forget to process them with frame sometimes?

To capture those fat snow flakes or fat rain etc. I’m using as fast a shutter speed as I can manage (usually at least 1/1000 sec) and shooting wide open (f1.4). Plus - that particular day - the flakes were nice and fat.

since we get no snow I’ll try it next time it rains, I’ll give your monopod brolly setup a go.

Robert - yep. Terminal velocity for rain is about 70 mph. So hope for some good fat rain and also, if you can, shoot it against a dark background.

Oh - the frame colors - I need to fix that. Just a quirk on the part of how the software is set up; i.e. the stylesheet is a bit screwed up.
