you already met the first five dogs of this fabulous pack of rescue dogs whom i had the distinct pleasure of shooting earlier this fall. now, bringing up the tail of the pack, we have Luna the greyhound …
due to a back injury, Luna is bound to a wheelchair. but like most dogs with disabilities, she gets around just fine …
and then there’s old man Keno …
Keno was a ham … couldn’t get enough of me and the cameras … well, and the treats, of course. in fact, we finally had to put him away when his turn was up or else i might not have been able to capture shots of any of the other dogs.
and last but not least, not just camera-shy, but camera-terrified Cricket …
i just kept my distance from the poor boy, and when all else failed, i used my duck sounds.
thanks so much, Geoff, for introducing me to your amazing pack. i hope this is a fabulous Christmas for you and Joanne and your entire pack. i’m sure she’ll love the gallery of photos you arranged for her.
Ryker/SandyWhat a diverse pack of dogs, I love it! I bet this family was a joy to work with.
Jackieoh my, that first shot of Cricket, with all the warm glowing bokeh and wiskers, is absolutely stunning
Michael HowieLove ’em! In your shots of Keno (when he was following/walking toward you) were you using autofocus or manual?
illonaMichael, i almost never use manual focus. dogs are too fast. i always use some variation of Autofocus.
marjoWe have been anxiously awaiting the shots of the wheelchair-bound greyhound and were not disappointed … you captured her beauty and dignity with aplomb.
Although partial to the plight of greys we are ever-so delighted in ALL the rescues at this shoot.
All the best of the season to your and your family!
