    You mean the 'Samson en Gert' hound? ;)

  • He is so photogenic (sp?).

    He's trying ;) (didn't get the sp? part.. sorry)

  • @Janneke:

    Thank you all :)

    Pics are taken with the Canon 450D / Digital Rebel XSi. I have to say.. That with this type of weather.. I should have used another lens..

    Well, taking pictures with a DSLR camera isn't as easy as with a point and shoot or a bridge camera (like my Lumix FZ18 with a 500 mm zoom !). So many different options and settings you can choose of : this type of camera was meant for the professional photographer but as prices rocketed down they became available for the enthusiast. Superb quality but a lot of practicing and studying is required.
    But Janneke, I find them pictures VERY good. Keep on "shooting" and keep surprising us !!!;)

    No, it's not easy.. but I definitly should have used another lens ;)
    If there isn't much light.. and you want to shoot action pictures.. you need some light on that mirror ;)

    I'll keep on shooting.. in a couple of months I want to make some nice shots of 'our' little Benji!

    Oops, minor correction : BENDJI .
    Info : it's the name of a village in Congo about 40 miles West of Kikwit.

    And yes, our little boy is only 2 weeks old (which means only 5 more to go !!:D ) and I already have +500 shots !! Most of them will end in the trashcan : I've selected the continuous burst mode so pushing the release button once gives you 10 to 20 pictures of which you can choose the best afterwards. Handy. Don't know if your D450 has it.:confused:

    BenDji.. Corrected :D

    Pics are great! We have so much of Tillo (and movies), we almost have to buy an external harddisc.. ;)
    I'm now making a photoalbum of his first year.. :D

    What you can try in these conditions is to rev up the sensitivity of the camera (you remember, the ASA thing ;) ) for instance from 200 or 400 ASA to 1600 or even 3200. But beware ! The "noise" will rise too so if you want to print the photos on a format greater than A4 the noise will be very prominent so you have to compare the pro's and con's. Again, practice, practise, practise. Better take 50 pictures than to wait for the right moment to shoot. That's the benefit of shooting digital !;)

    I don't like to high ISO's, because of the noice.. especially not if you can put another lens on your cam.
    Professional photographers not only have more experience.. they also have more money to spend on lenses…. that's another BIG advantage.. Better filters.. better feeling for composition.. better photoshop programmes.. etc ;)

I leave the sledding to the family when they come to stay! You certainly all look as though you're enjoying yourselves.

    That's awesome. I was also wondering how you were going to train all three at once. They are so adorable. I like the markings on the other red boy… looks like a "J" on the back of his neck. And the huge puppy ears on all of them! And the... ok, I have to quit watching or I will have myself talked into a puppy next season.

    Nexa is full af. and she is very cautious in new situations. She is curious and wants to say hi to every dog or person we see, but if they approach her she will back away. The introductions have to go at her pace. We were on a walk the other day and she was desperate to investigate a cat laying in someone’s driveway. She just stood there staring at the cat from 5-6 feet away, as soon the cat came towards her she tucked her tail and ran like it was a lion after her. The cat might have weighed 8 pounds wet. She is wary, but with her curiosity she just can’t let things go.
