Ready, set, go?

Actually the command is leave it, leave it. . .then we wait, and wait, and wait. . .then get it! It's tough for a dog to sit there and stare at the very food their master put under their nose and then be told not eat it. She does it though. She's actually good at this and learned it right away when we first got her. I can't believe Piper will be a year old next month already.

It was one of the first shots I took with my new camera. I forgot to set WB so I ended up with a lot of yellow. I'm not so good at fixing color casts and I think that's why it looks noisier than it really should. In color it doesn't seem to be as noisy, if that makes sense. I also had to shoot at ISO 3200. My D70s noise would have been much, much worse.

I love this shot though!

Start. . .Ready, set, go

My first post for 2009 POTD, yah!

I'm sorry I'm going to have to bore everyone with more photos of Piper but she seems to be the only subject around lately. Not that she's a willing subject because outside she is a wild woman in the snow! She was trying out her new bomber jacket and I was trying out the new D300. It's really super heavy compared to my D70s but I'm looking forward to learning all about it.
