Still in the rough stages, but not bad for day 8! (At only about an hour a day) At least the face is mostly done...
Hello "52 Weeks for Dogs" friends, meet Pippin, an exceptionally handsome blue standard poodle (okay, I may be a bit biased here).
If Pip looks a bit dubious about being this year's subject, it's probably because I hadn't informed him that some extra grooming might be involved. Not to worry, Pip, I'm not going to shave your face for every week's shot ... this week it was about making a good impression.
Pip is a tougher subject than Layla was last year -- his natural inclination is to be a bit of a velcro dog, which makes him hard to photograph. He does have a good stay, but when I put him on a stay and move away from him he has to concentrate so hard on being a good dog that I lose his natural animation and personality. He is also one to look away when I disappear behind the camera, so I have a feeling I may have to develop a knack for "shooting from the hip" with him.
I was able to get this portrait of him by holding a treat just above the camera. Yes, he was on a stay, hence the serious expression. When the treats came out Layla tried to make a case for continuing her reign as 52 weeks subject (I have to admit, she worked for free last year), but we compromised. Pip will be paid for looking at the camera, and Layla will be paid for staying out of the way.
I would have liked to have used a smaller aperture to get Pip's entire face in focus, but just didn't have enough light to do it -- in fact, I'm surprised this shot even remotely came out with such a slow shutter speed (though it was part of a burst, so no camera shake)

Her eyes are too big for her head.
Her ears are too big for her head.
Her head is too big for her body.
This is what makes a cute dog!

I just went in the dolly sanctuary and took a quick photo of Pip and Esther.

Today was the happiest I ever seen Danbo - he was jumping around as only danbos can do because his baby sister arrived in the mail. Pip is the tiniest little thing, and we'll call her Pip because, well 1) she seems to like it and 2) that is the only sound she makes "pip" ;D
