It's a dog eat dog world



What does that mean anyway? I'm too lazy to go look. For me, it means I had an awful day. No, it was beyond awful, really. One thing after another, all centering around money (or lack there of). The people that tell you that money doesn't buy happiness? Well, they probably have money. LOL. In any case, I almost posted a shot that I took yesterday evening b/c I just didn't have the heart to shoot today. I was crazy busy running from petsit to the vet to the bank to drum practice and I was in a foul mood on top of it. BUT, I pushed through it and pulled out the camera to take some shots at one of my petsits. This is Norman, he's a regular, and the only client that actually gets a playdate during his petsits. Max, my dog, gets to come along to Norman's house and they LOVE to run and play. Since something clicked in my head lately and I understand my settings, I knew how to crank up the shutter speed and catch them in action instead of the constant blur I used to get. Yay! We call Norman the big bunny b/c he hops all over the place!

  2. 1/400 and f5.6 was the ticket on this one! I had some at 1/320 as well, but really wanted to freeze the action, so I put the shutter as fast as I could do for the lighting! I had it on 400 as well instead of 200 so that the shutter speed could be higher.
