Dash Week#80 - I miss Mummy

As I do not have a pet of my own, I stood at the street corner and asked some passers-by if I could photograph their dogs. "Only the dog?" they would ask and agree when I said yes.

 

The first one was a four month old bull-dog puppy; I know there are many breeds that have a bull-dog face but within my limited knowledge, for me they are all bull-dogs. Lovely animal, seemed scared, having been taken away from its mummy and siblings at such an early age.

 

Then there came a lady with two poodles who made the same question, and I took more than 10 photos, not one worth looking at.

 

I had made a mistake. To fill the frame with the dogs, I had come out with an 85 mm lens. Imagine my ordeal to keep the dogs eyes in focus.

 

Then there were a very nice mother-daughter, each one with a dog and a lady with a poodle. The young girl had a very sensitive looking, really shy dog that was always looking the other way, and the mother´s was an old one who came in between, trying to protect the shy friend.

 

And the poodle in this group; I decided I am not a good poodle photographer.
