It's all in the eyes..
24/52 for 52 weeks for dogs. I took this pic trying to fulfill this challenge I picked up:
"I'd like to challenge you to shoot in manual mode on your new camera acheiving a shallow dof. (bokeh) with a colorful background. I like to see a full body shot, too (or close).
Something along the lines of this one (previous pic) but add a colorful background like flowers or something more than just one solid color. Something with red it it would be pretty cool!"
I tried some other things inside first that I didn't like. Then I looked for a colorful setting backdrop outside, but it is early in the growing season still here in MN and there is lots of green and not much color. Tried a colorful blanket but didn't like that either. So I finally settled on a field of dandelions at the retriever club. A few things I wish were different, but overall I liked how this turned out, esp. the brightness of her one eye. This is out of the camera with no processing (and yes I did use manual settings). I also did learn some other things about my new camera, which was the point. Can't decide if I like that she was already wet, but that is typical her...
