Evening Trot

 
If there’s one thing besides eating, playing, eating, sniffing, and eating that Hershey loves to do, it’s going walkies.  While we were out, I snapped a few photos.
 
In certain circumstances, I really prefer having the light source in the photo.  Instead of the photo being a isolated snapshot of an object, putting the light source [...]

Emily did a great job training Hershey. Spent a few months with her exclusively teaching her to listen to various commands. Emily also did this degrading (I feel) thing where you place a treat upon a dog’s nose and tell them to stay until you let them take it off and eat it. [...]

“If it was easy, they’d call it ‘catching’.”  - Fisherman Motto
 
I’ve honestly tried fishing; sitting out next to a river with your bait submerged in water, hoping a hapless fish would decide to have a snack.  It’s strange involving yourself in so much set-up, throwing your hopes out to the water, and not being able [...]

Playing with Hershey at the park is like throwing a party and too many people arrive.  At first, it’s exciting – you have everything set up, the music’s going, the booze is ready to flow.  Then people arrive, and as the population increases, you start to second guess your decision to tell everyone ’sure, bring [...]

“Every day I’m at my desk / At my desk I’m like the rest / All I do / I want to do / With you”  - The Servant
 
Sun in the sky, 75 degrees, Em’s outside with the dog playing and doing some chores.  I’m inside, toiling away to meet a early deadline I accidentally [...]

Picked up my camera last night.  Hershey isn’t amused by my new toy.
 
Ah well.  I wasn’t amused when she peed in the hallway by the bathroom.  So all is fair.

Finally…..

 
Today I get my Nikon D80.  It’s been a long road to convert from film to digital, but it’s 100% worth it.  I’ve tried using point’n’shoots and I end up feeling hamstrung.  I’ll be in a situation where I know how to easily take a decent photograph, but the limitations of the camera (developed that [...]
