Beautiful black and white!!! And those sparkles in the eyes = YES! :D
Jun 27th, 2011 Replyvelvet-paw
Thanks Victoria. Getting this photo was a real challange.
Jun 27th, 2011 ReplyTwistedHearts
I bet! I always have more difficulty shooting dogs. I'm not sure why X). Beautiful though ♥.
Jun 27th, 2011 Replyvelvet-paw
Same here. Also he's very young and couldn't stop moving for at least a second. With cats you can play and as long as they are focusing the toy you have the chance to focus clearly and compose the photo a bit. With Balu this was impossible. lol
Jun 28th, 2011 ReplyAwww thanks.
TwistedHearts
Exactly! I have the same problems as well XD. I fail at playing cat photos still though. Mine are too quick (or I'm too slow) lol.
Jun 28th, 2011 Replyvelvet-paw
Mine are quick, too. That's why I mostly have my boyfriend standing next to me waving with a cat toy. Then the focus on the toy and then they usually stop moving for a few seconds. ;)

Och der schaut ja richtig lieb aus .. was für ein drolliger Hund :)
Jun 13th, 2011 Reply Subscribervelvet-paw
Hehe danke Jürgen. Er ist auch echt ein lieber aber zum fotografieren ein Albtraum. Katzen sind da um einiges einfacher.

Another great photo from you, Julia
it's not just the contrast I love in this photo, but the expression too, full of wisdom expression *though I don't know if this cute guy is wise or not in real life :p)
Jun 12th, 2011 Replyvelvet-paw
Thanks a lot Meutia. Hehe I woulnd't call him wise, therefore he is way too young but for a one years old he's really clever.
Jun 14th, 2011 ReplyMeutia
ah I can see from his eyes! ^^ you're very welcome Julia ^^
Jun 14th, 2011 Replyvelvet-paw
awww sweet of you.

Sure. lol

super big grin :p
Jun 15th, 2011 ReplyDynnnad
Wow, what a beautiful photo and what a beautiful fellow! I just want to pet him! :)
Jun 12th, 2011 Reply Ghetto Gorilla Blastersvelvet-paw
Thank you Danny. :D He would love that. He loves cuddling and playing all day long. That's why he's really hard to photograph, he doesn't stop moving.
Jun 12th, 2011 ReplyDynnnad
You are most welcome!
Jun 12th, 2011 Reply Ghetto Gorilla BlastersAhw, haha. I love when dogs are that lively :)
velvet-paw
He's only a year old. I guess it's normal that they are lively at that age. On most photos I only had emply space because as soon as I had him in focus he jumped to the side or in the air or simply ran away.
Jun 12th, 2011 ReplyDynnnad
Hahah, ahw. This one worked out pretty well though!
Jun 13th, 2011 Reply Ghetto Gorilla Blastersvelvet-paw
hehe 2 of about 50 photos are in the quality how Ilike but I have to say, I would never have thought that photographing dogs is such a challenge. I always thought cats are harder because you can't tell them to sit or lie down. Gosh I was so wrong.
Jun 14th, 2011 ReplyDynnnad
Haha, cats do tend to sit still a bit more :D
Jun 14th, 2011 Reply Ghetto Gorilla BlastersDogs are always so energetic, especially at a young age! :D
velvet-paw
kinda true but cat's usually only do what they wanna do while dogs listen to you.
Jun 14th, 2011 ReplyDynnnad
yeah, but when you ask things from dogs they usually do it with a lot of movement haha :P
Jun 15th, 2011 Reply Ghetto Gorilla Blastersvelvet-paw
Hehe true. I don't have that much experience with dogs, since I grew up with cats.
Jun 15th, 2011 Replyphatpuppy
So beautiful!
