Please tell us the brand and models of the cameras used. I'd love an underwater camera but I dont really think I'd get enough use out of it.

Mine is an Olympus TG2 :)

It is such an adjustment! There's a certain amount of control you have to relinquish.

Those are great though. Love the head under :D

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that nasty MS kicked sand in his eyes to slow him down. What a bully :p

Huga, it's a Western Australian snake that I hadn't heard of before moving here from Qld, -a dugite. A type of brown snake that is very common here, highly venomous. Since seeing one in our backyard in October, .I've been locking Bruno inside the house when I go out. I'm so relieved that it's gone!

Oh, interesting - thank you! I bet you're relieved!

I'm so annoyed I cut the top off, CC! But I'm trying to let it go :laugh: I'm obsessed with getting the perfect half in/half out shots at the moment - it's really hard!

Argh, they're everywhere right now! Our snake catcher is flat out too.

Do you know what that snake is, Trina? Is it a keelback?

We've had a few small browns around, a few pythons and a whip snake in the pool about a month ago. Just now there was a kookaburra on the fence with a very intense stare and I'm pretty sure he was after something. Probably one of the small pythons that have been hanging around on the fence and in the trees.

I can't find the pic I'm looking for, but this one is pretty spesh.

(I have no idea what's going on).

Sid does it :)

yes but one look at him and we can see he's part sighthound. :laugh:

:laugh: Oh yes. A sort of squished version.

:laugh: yes that's his name! He looks like a hippo.

I know a few of us have underwater cameras now :D

I've been doing a photo a day challenge for January, so have made myself get the little camera out more. I really want to learn to control it better - particularly the focus. I have had more success with the tracking focus, but I still seem to have a lot of throwaways - although after speaking to other photographers that have it, they say the same. Spray and pray :D

I am quite fascinated with underwater stuff, so would love you guys to share.

Sid does it :)

Sid is deaf, but not from birth - so not the same thing, he already knew commands via hand signal. However, since he lost his hearing, I noticed how much he watches me now. So I reward him for that and really, things aren't too different. They say to wake them up by rolling a ball towards them softly etc, but Sid never startles if I just go and gently pat him to wake him to come inside. Lola will jump on him if she wants him to wake up :laugh: I do have to be careful if he's awake and I walk up behind him, because that does tend to startle him - mostly I stomp and he feels the vibrations.

Pugs and GRs both drop a lot of hair, I can't imagine that would be great for your asthma.

[bWould it still be very bad if they were constantly groomed?][/b]

If they were anything like the Golden I owned it won't help enough to make a difference and the Pugs I help show never, ever stop shedding :laugh:

Yes. It's weird. It's like they have a never ending supply of coat to drop.

Batmanforever - go to a show and check some out, talk to the breeders when they have a minute and watch that coat drop out all over the place.

Pugs and GRs both drop a lot of hair, I can't imagine that would be great for your asthma.

Sid has no problems shredding a coconut.

I don't know if I can do it again :laugh: I'm currently doing January Photo A Day (an annual thing for me), but eventually wedding season kicks in and I can't keep up. Or I take them, but never upload them

A very Happy New Year to all the DOLers from Sid and Lola too :D

Sid and Lola don't do it (but when excited, Sid will grab whatever is closest - toy, stick, rock, peg, sock and zoom around with it), but Harry used to give me presents :)

Another Frenchie. Can't see myself having anything else now. Except maybe a Rott, one day.

I love Upper Middle Bogan and I loved the gorgeous grey on it last night :D

Sid was desexed at about then and yes, he is leggier than most frenchies. But that was how his breeder protected her pups at that time and I don't blame her. I wasn't interested in another breeder and frenchie pups were much harder to come by back then.

As a family, we had Golden Retrievers, who were fabulous with us four kids.

As an adult, my first dog was Harry (pug x GSD). Ball crazy without an off switch, but a very sweet and gentle boy.

omg puppy sid is SO CUTE!!!

He was. I quite like his grown up personality more though :laugh:

Awww, lovely Raineth!

One of my faves of Harry:

An old fave of Lola:

And Sid with his favourite kid, over a few years:
