At Least It Is Friday

More photos with the 'nifty fifty'.  At some point (soon) I need to venture out and take photos of other dogs, but today was definitely not the day for it.  Four-day work-weeks, while nice, are always hectic at work as I'm trying to cram five days of work into four.  So by the time I got home, we hit some tennis balls and I finally got the girls and the camera out, I think it is safe to say I was not exactly at my best.  Oh well.

Regardless of how tired and unfocused I was, the girls had a good time (which is the point).

BIG stretch!

And I wasn't the only one a little 'off'.  The girls had their moments, too.

Not exactly in focus, but those teeth are impressive!

I'm not sure if Fi is laughing at Abby or with her....

Since a third of the yard was covered in shadows, I played around with the lens' big aperture, too.  I should have shot on manual so I had a little more control over the shutter speed, and I was bummed that I couldn't really use my reflector, as I like the 'catch lights' in the girls' eyes, but so it goes...

I like this photo simply because Abby is totally thrilled to have most of the tennis balls!

Seriously.  She's obsessed with keeping an eye on her tennis balls.

And then a good old-fashioned shallow depth-of-field photo.

Day 262/365.
