Thanks a lot!

Thanks Clyde and Dxenion, I will definitely try your suggestions with encouraging him, and I'll have a look around for that pad toughener. Thanks!

Thanks for your replies everyone, it makes sense. Although he is also walking 'carefully' on concrete, even though he would usually run (I usually try to confine his running to grass though, to protect his joints). However, if I think about it most of the concrete around here has loose bits of gravel so that might be why. Should I just continue walking him and hope that he gets used to it?

No, he was groomed by a professional who didn't mention any nips, but I will check for any just in case.

Hi everyone, My 5 year old cav Ollie recently had an all over clip for summer, his coat is now very short and all his leg and paw feathering is gone. He also had this done last summer and acted normally afterwards. However, this time around he's become very fussy on walks, and will tread very carefully on grass, or outright refuse to walk across grass. Rather than running around like he usually does when off leash, he is walking rather slowly and 'carefully' like he is being precious about his paws. I don't think there is any other explanation for this such as a tick, as he is full of energy while at home. Could he be 'embarrassed' about being clipped? Or are his paws just more sensitive now there isn't any hair around them? Really not sure what the problem is, but was hoping someone on here might have a few suggestions! Thanks in advance Snap

WOW!! I've seen some of those shots around before and would love to give it a try one day. Any photos of your set up?

Loving the 50!

Thanks bec, the 50mm and me are slowly becoming best friends. Loving your recent portraits too

Here's one from my 'casual photo shoot'

Thanks so much for the reply Ashanali! Having a look at that group now and getting lots of inspiration!

Hi everyone, A friend asked me to take some photos of her on the beach for her mum's birthday present. I don't have any lighting setup so I'll be using natural light. She's scheduled the 'photo shoot' for about 6:45pm but I'm thinking it might be a better option to start a bit earlier. Any advice will suffice, I've been looking at flickr groups for ideas on poses, composition, styling etc. I'd love to hear any suggestions for DIY reflectors or likewise, if people think it's necessary? TIA!

Quite a few from me today, bare with me! Had a good day down at the beach. It's a shame that flickr really reduces the quality of your images..

I prefer the clean look of the second one, printing black and white will be cheaper too!

A boring one tonight to keep me from falling behind!

Finally had a better look at my photos for day 14 and day 15. Day 14: Day 15:
