Relaxed Baby Photography?

I’d just posted a message on a Facebook group, saying how thankful I am that I am a self-employed photographer, instead of being confined to a desk in an office all day, with targets and pressure.  I’d said that I enjoyed the more relaxed lifestyle, and was looking forward to my baby shoots in the studio later that day.  One or two commented on the concept of a ‘relaxed baby session’ and I assured them that I had it all worked out. THEN this happened…

Some babies just don’t do relaxed!

Friendly Pony-Poser

Driving along the Ballycowan Road at #Ballymena today when I met these friendly ponies in a field beside the road. One of them was obliging enough to allow me to make a photograph. 

I decided to go for an exaggerated bokeh effect, so I selected a 80-210 zoom for the Nikon D610 camera, choose 100 ISO and f/2.8, with a shutter speed of 1/1000th sec. (It was a bright day). The vignetting effect was added in Photoshop. 

Doggy Stars of the Day…

Today I had two lovely sessions with dogs, in aid of DogsTrust.  We had two lovely Shitzu/Westie Cross dogs, a brother and sister called Brenin and Poppy.

Later we had a lovely Black Labrador puppy called Daisy.

Here they are!

Poor Brenin  – he really, really wants those treats!

Daisy – adorably affectionate, she just LOVES photographers SO much that she could lick them all over!
