HeatherStrella Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Hello...long time no see... I've been so busy..as a lot of you, I'm sure. AnnaBella has kept me on my toes and I wouldn't have it any other way. :silly: I've always enjoyed taking pictures of her but lately I've been in a funk. I've run out of ideas on the how/what/where to take pictures of her. Know what I mean? I now have over 200 photos of her in her online album...and over 30,000 on my computer. It may even be double that. I tend to take 100-200 (or more) shots of any subject in any given session to ensure I get a good photo or two. Anyway, I've got a few new photos. I've got several where she's playing with a miniature orange Croc (shoe)...I love Crocs...they're so comfy. I first had it as a key chain but she wanted it so bad, I gave it to her...lol. I'm curious which Croc picture you think is best. A few are too blurry but I like the composition...then a couple are sharp but I don't like the composition...grr..always something. ha. Then, the last two are some artsy fartsy ones I tried with her tail. Nothing special...like I said, I'm running out of ideas... Also, my husband had just given our dog a bath on the day I was taking these photos and she looked so....so...raggy...I just had to snap a photo...she's at the very bottom. She's Sandy...Mini Schnauzer. We don't keep her trimmed as a regular MS, we don't like the beard and eyebrows, we keep them short...like any girl would...lol :lol: (the photo is in black and white) Thanks for looking...

judygram Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Very nice pictures of AnnaBella, she is a darling subject, my favorite is the one with the spread wing, thanks for sharing them with us Heather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Heather, gorgeous pictures of AnnaBella. The picture I like most is the one where she is stretching her wing. It is very beautiful!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFGriffith Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I like the one where she's stretching her wing, too! I have to stop coming on this forum, everybody always gives me ideas of stuff to buy. My last purchase was Legos... Now I want a macro for our camera. Just a touch more expensive than building blocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pynkzephyr Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 AnnaBella is gorgeous!! you have quite a talent with a camera {Feel-good-000200BB} what type camera/set up are you using here? thanks for clearing up what the "orange peanut" is! to answer you question, i really like ba8, followed closely by ba9 - you can almost see her thinking about what she is doing/about to do and how much fun it will be. ba10 reminds me of a dancer (perhaps a fan dancer of sorts) preparing to perform luv the pic of Sandy too (i have 6 assorted dogs here as well as feather babies) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goralka08 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Gorgeous! What kind of camera do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaxtersMom Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I like them all of course but was very impressed with the "artsy fartsy" feather photos. (Say that 10 times real fast):laugh: I'm into art like that too. My favorite of Annabella is the spread wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherStrella Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Thanks so much for the lovely comments ...I used two cameras for these photos...Both Nikons...D40x and D300. All with the same macro lens. Thanks.. Heather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyric Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 What lovely photos of AnnaBella. She is gorgeous of course! I like photo #2 best of the croc photos. Just the expression and depth in her eye- you can tell she's enjoying that croc. I like the color contrast in those pics. I also love the one with her and the blue chain. I know it doesn't show much of her but I like it, it shows her spirit and playfullness in just that bit of her face and claws. Sandy is a very pretty puppy too. Thanks so much for sharing your great talent with us. I know what you mean about ideas for new photos- I have hundreds of pics of Lyric and my other birds and dogs but eventually you'd like to do something new and original. I think you always come up with great photos, very artistic and well thought out. Keep inspiring the rest of us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherStrella Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Thanks for all the compliments. Lyric, thanks, you should share more of your photos with us. At first, I didn't share many of my photos...to me it seemed like a private thing. Like if I showed my pics to someone, they might see who I really am or something. Ha. I still feel that way with some of my photos so I have a private photo album on my site that's hidden. I can give specific people a password and they can access it. Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you're embarrassed to show your photos because you're shy, just go for it!! If I can do it, you can do it!!! If it's a different reason, then .... well, do it anyway. ha. I'm about to post a photo I need advice on...I hope you will comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyric Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Well, I don't have a very great camera, and many times the quality of my shots is not what I would like. I am a bit of a perfectionist I'm afraid. I'll try to share some more with you though- have you seen the pics of my babies in the nursery room? "picture of timneh chicks- 1 week old" I'm proud of the pics of my babies! B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
