Clicking Mad

gila - ooo I didn't notice Spencer having such a long coat, 'round his rough? or is he just shedding, Lotus is soooo fluffy atm, I gave a big brush before this weeks shot, yet I still can't pat her without fur coming off in handfuls tali - cute little furry paws! rallyvalley - gosh cute puppy pics! Like the one of Toby in the water too snook - great action shot under tricky circumstances! sammies - nice light at the beach with Asti annie - yes, seasoned beach buddies ;) ~~~~~~ there's a "red" challenge on the flickr group (some may remember this lounge chair from previous years?) Lotus 31/52 Chester 31/52 ... he was just so easy, I have a few outtakes that if I get around to it I'll upload 1 or 2 later ;) :D

gorgeous looking boy!

nice! I love the shot of Indy! big fan of that angle and the light through the tree is just wonderful imho, oh and the black and white tones work well

weibritty - such a happy parking manager, really like the outback feel sammies - hahaha really cute!! gila - I like the tiles! Spencer looks funny upside down with his back paws kicking in the air lol wags - what a great happy smile on Riley, I like the bokeh and colours katalily - Kyla and Tali are looking great! love the colours in your photos, particularly like the hatbox shot :D mtd - how pretty in her pink bling ... and so focused in the last shot! annie - Cowboy looks like he's taking advantage of the sun there in the car ... he looks so cute and earnest in week 30 ~~~~~ gone for artsy beach action this week ;) Lotus 30/52 Chester 30/52 :D

mtd - would love to have that mountain as backdrop! Ever been to Canberra? I had to run up Mount Ainslie once, got a champagne breakfast at the top and then ran back down, it was fun, not sure how long it took, but I'm sure the champagne helped lol sammieS nice light with the star-shadows :D tlc - your pack sure take up the bed sweet portrait of Bronson with auntie! eventingpony - looks like you got it all sorted for pups arrival! looking forward to puppy pics :D naomi - poor Archie, looks like he's taking it okay though re: the hat, it's one of those beanies with plaits at the side, it was a New York find :D snook - love the composition, I tried something like that this weekend, didn't really turn out so well wags - nice b&w sleepy shot of Riley, despite the last minute effort, so cosy :D weibritty - Marlo's looking good, love her wispy fur ~~~~~~ Lotus 29/52 - couldn't go past her eyes for this weeks shot, we were practising "down" before a game of tennis ball retrieves at the park when I saw how the light through the trees reflected in her eyes, always with the camera around my neck, I had to try and capture it! Her eyes are usually so difficult to see. Chester 29/52 - more of a documentary kinda shot, they've been doing roadworks on my street for a while, now they've got to the stage where I can't access my driveway with my car (it's the red one in the background), and I have to duck under, or step over those ribbons to even get home. They are hoping to pour the concrete for the driveways tomorrow, we'll see huh? ~~~~~~

wonderful! such a cute little fella :D really like the first shot especially

gorgeous shots! taken with your "new" camera? can't remember exactly what you got? macro lens?

hey what a cute pup!

bloody awesome! love these lots, I so need to do something like this :D my favs are #8365 and love the "tree" in #8296

:cool: just wonderful! really like the graffiti shots particularly :D

weibritty - hahaha how funny those gumboots, looks like they fit perfect rallyvalley - how cute, love the expression (28th) - lovely profile portrait! mtd - love the snoozing in the sun, great mountain in the background, what mountain is that? (28th) - love those toys, least Mags holds it so she can see where she's going, Chester is a shocker for blinding himself gila - cool, which lens did you use for that shot? I got some half-decent ones with my nifty fifty the other day and was v. surprised I like the tones too :D (28th) - like the brick wall location, and interesting lighting tlc - whooping cough wow, nasty! I had nothing like that, but feeling heaps better now wags - love the close up of Riley's mouth ready to chomp on the ball helen - nice location for Chazer! snook - woah would you look at the spikes on Justice's collar, that would certainly keep Chester away anniek - great angle! sammies - funny Frenchie sit, nice light by the window, and very colourful luvlottie - you been keeping up to date? I don't think anyone would mind you back-dating some shots, I'd love to see them :D Nice action of her weaving *just felt like doing a bit of comment catch up, haven't done this weeks shots yet*

awesome! I've been hanging out for these :D Really lovely Kate!

I'm loving these, and felt inspired to edit some old beach shoots - funny how I love black&white shots at the beach, even though the beach is generally known for lovely colours from May and from June :D

Haven't been very well the past few weeks Lotus 26/52 Chester 26/52 Lotus 27/52 Chester 27/52 Lotus 28/52 Chester 28/52

:cool: love black and white! here's some of my most recent (flickr uploaded - lots more just hanging out on my computer ) oh and it seems my definition of recent is 6mths lol :D

Lotus 25/52 - funny Chester 25/52 - owning the bed

cheers huga - I'd love to see how you'd go with it :D I've just not looked into lens correction. I don't see the curve very well here either, but when in lr and using the grid it's there lol

no, not sure how to to be honest, but it has been straightened, and I can see a curve to it too. beach horizons are tricky anyway if you ask me, those wave heights don't make for very straight horizons, I'm not always very strict about it :D

Have you ever tried correcting this in DPP? I have a 17-85 and tried the correction out, it was pretty good. Then again sometimes you can use that distortion to great effect. Clicking Mad was brilliant with it. She doesn't seem to post much here now. no you're right I don't post much, I still hang around sometimes and read though ;) I have the sigma 10-20mm and love it for the crazy wide-angle, I like the distortion though there is definitely a knack to it ... some most recent examples may give you a better idea @10mm @20mm I also have the "brick" and don't use it anywhere near as much as I probably should, it's just too heavy for walking to the park trips for my liking ... though I accidently took it to the beach the other week instead of the long lens (I was leaving at 6 in the morning and failed to actually look inside the lens bag before grabbing it *doh* ) ... examples of that ... @24mm @50mm @50mm again but obviously cropped

Archie is so cute! :D helen - cool! Chazer looks super-relaxed I have that app. you should look at "vignette demo" - that one is my fav. phone camera app. :D Lotus 24/52 - a semi-self-portrait - an obedience sit Chester 24/52 - a colourful shot to forget that Winter is freezing and not even half-way through yet

gila - you telling us Spencer can read? love it!!

sorry all, fell so far behind again, have been enjoying the photos :D here's the last few weeks of mine Lotus 21/52 - been roadworks on my street, came home from work a couple of times and couldn't access my own driveway, it continues ... Chester 21/52 - got himself a black labrador girlfriend, she was smitten with him Lotus 22/52 - at the park again Chester 22/52 - last minute find, just went wandering into my garage with the camera and tried to get a nice reflection off the bass drum lol Lotus 23/52 - back to the beach again Chester 23/52 - still sneaks in on stand/stays ;) :D

truly beautiful! love their deep red colouring, and your photos are wonderful :D

Charche great photos of the happy boy :D

Lotus 20/52 Chester 20/52 cheers all :D
