I got myself a new Canon EOS Rebel SL1 camera as a late Christmas present to myself. I also bought the book “SL1 for Dummies” as a reference. I studied the text and began to find opportunities to hone my skills as a photographer like Verna already has for years.
I found that our little Beethoven is a willing subject for my ventures into the world of photojournalism. He is not intimidated by the camera and he (sometimes) poses at my verbal command. Cabela, not so much. She tries to bite the camera if I get it too close to her.
Bay Bay was on the spa cover in the back patio and posed while I took several photos of him using a camera mode and settings good for portraits, according the “Dummies” text. I liked this one that captures the details of his handsome little face while pleasantly blurring the background such as to draw the observer’s attention to the dog. Click on the image to enlarge.
