Meet Henry and his little brother Winston.  These two made for some fun photography on a recent puppy portrait shoot.  Some how we were able to get through our hour shoot without getting arrested by a ranger at Squires Castle for not being on a leash.  All is well since if Henry had been on a leash I would have never have captured this shot.  Have you ever seen a happier dog!

If you are interested in a pet photo session for you favorite furry friend don’t hesitate to contact me through the form on the Portraits Page.

Exp: 1/160sec @ f/8.0, ISO 100, Post processing in Lightroom
Gear: Sigma DP1… yep that’s it.

I got a new camera this week and had a chance to go out and do some shooting with it yesterday. The camera I got is a Sigma DP1 it is a point and shoot sized camera with a DSLR sized sensor and an excellent lens. One advantage of having a DSLR sized sensor is that fact that you have control over depth of field. On all other P&S cams the sensor is so small that even with an f/2.8 lens you can’t get a shallow DOF. The DP1 isn’t for everyone though, I’m still getting use to the fixed 28mm equivalent lens. I’m use to the telephoto lenses I use for shooting wildlife. With the wide angle you have to get pretty close to small things to make them a reasonable size in the frame. I’ve posted a few more shots on Flickr so you can check them out. I’m looking forward to shooting a lot more with this camera and seeing what it can do.
