Puppy Love

A beautiful and lovely shot with a nice title, Bill!

nice picture but first impression is his face is out of focus or he was moving and the shutter speed was slow but good picture

Thanks Rudd and Jeremy. You're right Jeremy, the face is soft but not because of shutter speed, it's a too shallow aperature.  I'm still i making adjustments in settings, since I started this a few weeks ago. Here are some of the parameters involved in shelter photography. Must be continuous light, stropbes and flash don't work. I use two 500 watt floods. Set WB at 3200 Kelvin. Manual mode,  1/160 -f5 to f5.6. The animals are constantly moving. Need two shots of every animal for shelter's web site. Facial closeup and body shot so a full range fast zoom lens essential. I'm sitting on an office chair with wheels at eye level to animals moving with them, continuous AF fast trigger. Two handlers helping, one behind me to get their attention, another at table to keep them from jumping off. Do 8 to 10 animals in an hour and a half. They range from 150 lb dogs to kittens. I've done studio animals in the past, in this case throw away the book. It's a challenge like no other I've ever experienced. You're not looking for blue ribbons, just help these poor souls find a loving hoime. If it seems like I'm on a crusade to get other phtographers to consider shelter work ... you're right!

nice capture and I like the old seppia style Heinz
