Furry Photo Shoot

I wanted to take some practice shots with my new camera.  Cassie and Abbie are always willing subjects as long as treats are involved!

All pictures were taken with the Canon Rebel T3i with Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens and edited in iPhoto.  As you can see I'm loving the shallow Depth of Field (maybe a little too much because I never changed the aperture)!  I was trying to practice composition; taking the same scene(s) from various perspectives to see how it changes the composition of the photo.

One of my goals for 2012 is to improve my photography skills - I'm retaking my online photography class, so I'll be posting my practice shots here on the blog.

  1. Good luck with your class. I will look forward to seeing more pictures. I love taking pictures, but this stuff is way too advanced for me. The dogs look cute. Maybe one of these days Abbie will venture out and walk on your wood floor!!!!
