All alone

The last puppy. This would have been a truly great puppy photo, but he moved out of frame.

I've been experimenting with off-camera flash, but without the necessary remote triggers, I've had to do it by hand using longish exposures and the test-fire button on the flash (hand-held).

I like the way the lighting came out on this one, just wish he'd stayed where he was when I set off the shutter.

Canon Speedlite 188A hand held at camera right at about 35 degrees off horizontal, about 3 feet from the subject.

    Awwww, he is SO cute! No matter that he moved, still a great shot of this gorgeous little pup David! Just don't tell me that he is whimpering for all his siblings, I couldn't stand it! :-)

    Awww, thanks Tracey. No he's not wimpering. In fact, up until about a minute ago, he was trying to tear apart my slippers while I was still wearing them!

    He'd probably bite your finger ;-)

    Bah, how can someone who now seems to spend all his time on my lap be thought to whimper? :)
    Tonight when he is put to bed and realises that there is no one else in it, it may be different though... no different to what the other puppies have to go through though (they just don't do it in fornt of me!)

    Are you keeping this one?
  • David de Groot said:
    If it were a girl we might have Louise, but we've already got one fluffy boy, and don't really need another.
