1/52: Hair of the Dog
Happy New Year to everyone from Duncan! In introducing him to the group, I'm trying to move a bit out of my own box (I almost never "pose" him), while telling you something about him. I was striving for something of a "low key" shot, because (although he's ALWAYS up for anything exciting that might happen), he really is fairly low-key (well, for a Border collie at least). He's not much of a "party animal", as this shot tries to convey; he loves all people and is cordial to other dogs but doesn't seek them out for play. He is viewed as a "star" when I take him to work (a regular occurrence), though his favorite thing (apart from hikes) is to go "outside" (reflected in his glasses). He's got a great "stay" (as you can guess from the EXIF; this was taken handheld). Anyway, we're looking forward to participating in "52 Weeks" this year. Any and all criticism is gratefully received, as one of my resolutions this year is to work on my skills as a dog photographer.
I'm a firm believer in spending New Year's Day doing the things you enjoy the most. For me this involves photography and going for a hike with Duncan (which is where I'm headed now!).
