You may remember the post on my appearance on Channel 9 here in Oklahoma, or maybe you saw us! As promised, below are the shots I took that day pretending to shoot Kyla and Abby in a “session.” I paid no attention to settings or focus most of the time. It was all a sham for the camera.
These are straight out of the camera – no processing at all. Some actually turned out good – some, not so much.
And some just make me laugh. Enjoy!
[gallery columns="4" orderby="post_name"]Today is not only April Fool’s Day, but it’s Abby’s Day, too. Abby is my mom and dad’s golden. She is 3 today. In honor of cute little Abby, here’s a little video of some of her cutest photos. Some with her best bud, Kyla, too. (there is audio, so turn up your speakers!)
Enjoy!
Several weeks ago, I got to go take some pictures at an old farmhouse north of town. A family bought this old, old farmhouse and is rehabbing the entire thing, and my mother is doing some custom stained glass work for them.
They went out to install the first piece, and I went along with camera in tow. Abby, of course, came along as well.
The family has a dog, so of course my attention turned to her. I can’t remember her name, so I call her FarmDog. Here are just a few of the shots from that day. More to come…
Mid-yawn shots: gotta love’em.
I know this one is totally blown out, but I love it anyway.
The garage (note the open land beyond…a rarity these days).
Who’s in that truck, FarmDog?
Abby!
Thanks to Mod-Dog, I am now in the Snap directory! Looks like it will be pretty cool when they finish all the links.
And now for a pic of Miss Abby resting after wrestling with Kyla…
Just back from the Edmond Book Fair, and we sold some books! It was great exposure for the Shelter, Paws for Life, and my photography, too.
Abby stopped by and became the mascot for all shelter dogs, graciously and excitedly greeting everyone who stopped by.
My mom stopped by and snapped a photo of our table. Mary Robertson, head of Paws for Life holds up a The Rescued book for the camera.
This little booger is a spunky West Highland White Terrier named Shelby. She lives up the street from my parents and we often see her when walking Abby and Kyla.
She stopped by Christmas Day for a visit, so I had to get out my camera and snap a few of her.
If she would just stay still for more than 2 seconds … Of course, it didn’t help that Abby and Kyla were at the front door wanting to come out and play with her.
I think I have things the way I want them on the new blog theme – what do you think?
And to make up for not posting any images in a while, here’s a giant-sized post with my 2008 favorites.
[Sorry for the inconsistency in image sizes and such, it's late and I didn't want to go back and resize them all to fit the new theme. ]
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Just some different processing for this set of Kyla and Abby shots.
[ ISO 800 (it was dark!); 50mm prime @ 1.4 and sloooow shutter! ]
[ Processing: bumped up exposure, bumped up blacks and contrast a little, took down the saturation, fiddled with the temp and tint to my vintage liking, dark and wide vignette ]
