Awwwww And why wouldn't she love them? I do :) esp this one

:) Steady hands/balance - excellent! C'mon ,all those who produce interesting and emotive and clear shots ..... you are good at this - tell us what makes you proud! :)

Well, :) just don't trip over any dogs :p

:) ..Not what others think/say ....what do you feel is/are your best attributes /skills? :D there are so many wonderful images presented here..everyone has a set of skills !! What I feel fairly comfortable with during my macro/insect 'hunting' ..are patience, learning what the subject of my attention is doing/may do, and checking backgrounds. .I really prefer to let the camera do the rest :p

You certainly are catching great action and facial expressions/eye direction!

My roommates ... nothing fancy ..but they like it.

I am glad it helped ..and yes, you should maybe patent it to provide help for other very caring and responsible owners :) Thinking of you today . Take care .

You've done well .

This is so sad. From what I understand of your post is that poor rafii has a condition whereby his windpipe just will not let the air in ..and it won't suddenly 'get better', by the sounds of it. :( he is old, and his tissues are not going to stand up to the trauma .. he will already be suffering from lack of oxygen , and will be stressing and feeling panicky, not being able to breathe...unfair on a poor old dog. for you ..and I hope raffi finds his rest quickly, in your loving arms , with no more fighting ...

Smart shopping! Hope it helps :)

*nods* Ok ... thanks for that - now I think I have a handle on it :)

That's a thought . have you tried providing him with lots of bedding /coat, but have him safely tethered ? he may feel more comfortable being able to move around a bit more than he can in his crate? *shrugs* Just a thought.... I like the look of that warmbodymat , and the bun warmers seem a good idea. for dog beds ..provided not any more than one thin layer is covering them . Might get one for my geriatric cat! :) Thanks for the link .

*sigh* horses.......... the unexpected is always just around the corner ! I am so glad he was guided safely back to shore , poor boy.

I have several forums hidden , and rescue is one . It is indeed very upsetting ... Hats off to those who work in Rescue ! I do look when someone asks me about getting a dog ..and there are so many gorgeous faces :)

I like that first colour image - so much is happening !! Love the expressions..I can see the effort required buy the blocking player..the concentration, the desperation of others... :) Well caught!

Cats are fascinating .... he also likes using the external HDD like a heat pad :p

Thanks, kja. :)

:) :p.. and the worst bit is, half the time I don't realise it until I get odd looks .

LOL!! What a great thread - I can indeed relate to some of these ... does anyone else tell wayward, wandering ,shopping trolleys to "Stay!" ?

;) when he's behaving - yes. !

:) ermmm, yep!

Oh.. OK he was using it as an example of the benefits of RAW...

Mr.Wilson this evening :)

but am now wondering if this result is a normal expectation? LINK My idea of editing in RAW is to make sure colour is correct, detail and sharpening etc are pleasing . To me, this looks too saturated or something?

:) he looks as if he's lived with you all his life!! :D
