Kristen's portraits

I had plans this fortnight - big plans. People! I don't do people photos so here was the perfect opportunity.

And then we had stinking hot weather, cold & wet weather, assignments due and no time to go anywhere and only 1 human in the house besides me. I didn't want to fall back on the dogs but on Feb 28 with no other images and no time left there was just no choice.

For something different I used the screen on my camera so I could get a better angle but I discovered it is much harder to get an accurate focus and these all seem to be a touch out.

With 3 border collies I decided my photos had to be 1 of each (sorry Jessie the beagle - you missed out). Border Collies have a wide variety of ear positions and in my 3 I have:

1 set up (Piper) :


1 set down (Jazz):


And 1 set in between! (Cinna)


And do I get bonus points for getting a drop from a 3 month old puppy in the location I want and looking at the camera when I said her name all by myself?

  5. The different ear positions is a great way to tie the images together and most definitely a yes to the bonus points!
