Photographer's Helper

Gallery: POP PhotosPosted August 31, 20153,069 views10 comments

In just 6-7 weeks our GS pup will be one year old, time sure flies. She's a pure joy to be around, has a wonderful temperament. She even gets along with Oscar, and goes out of her way to play fair. Even though she's 8-10 times his size..

I snapped this yesterday during a break from the butterflies, she likes to help chase them my way. She has to sniff the ground first of course sad

F/5.6, 1/400th, ISO 640, 5DM2, 300mm f/2.8 + 2x ext. @ 3:56pm & cloudy.

...... sad

what a great look at the photog's helper here, Howard. A very well captured portraiture. Looks like her rooting around has brought about a snoot full of debris too... laugh

Great expression on Mattie. Looks like she's asking "Is there something on my nose"? One of our favorite breeds.

A good portrait catches the soul of the subject, and you did that here.

A very pretty girl, Howard. Well captures. The nose full of leaves and sticks made me smile.

Lovely puppy portrait. I might have stopped down just a bit more so that the tops of her ears were sharper, but that's minor. The color and detail are excellent.
