Just when I needed you most!!!

Uploaded: October 11, 2009

Description

Whoo Hoo, Graham's first shot with his new camera taken in the garden and oh my - such a big image LOL. Full Frame! I posed Cindy with her head peaking around a gate looking at her reward, a chicken wing then Graham took a couple of shots and it started to rain! Taken around 3pm Sydney time (it is Spring over here). A quick edit from RAW and not much in Photoshop then changed to B&W. ~Pat

Thank you so much Patrick! Great you like the song, I don't know why but I like to have music.... but I do.

The judges asked at one time not to embed it in my entries so I don't and put it in the comments section. ~Pat

Cindy looks stunning! What a beauty! Love her in b/w.. isn't it amazing when an animal wants a treat how they can perk up and give you a wonderful expression??

Hi there Christine!

Thank you!! Isn't it so amazing with the expression when an animal wants a treat hey! They can really perk up!

We have just come in from taking some water shots, I don't know where to start lol. Graham is so happy with his camera.

How lucky Cindy is to be given the honour of first pictures out of the new camera. A wonderful full frame pet portrait. Do you get to use the new camera also? Well done=^..^= #8029095

Graham Robards October 12, 2009

lol NO I don't get to use the new camera BOO HOO. Thank you for dropping in Chris!

Graham has given me his other one which is far better than mine anyway.

He said the new camera is very much like the older one except it is full frame.

Yes, we took some more photos of Cindy today, swimming this time, I was like a kid in a candy shop!!!

The next one is for you!

WOW! What a wonderful portrait of Cindy! I think Graham should be tickled pink with his new camera! #8037334

Graham Robards October 14, 2009

Hi there Lala, isn't this just a pretty song yes! Dolly has such an amazing voice hasn't she.

Cindy is such a pretty baby, her eyes are very similar to Teena's actually, have that same depth and browns.

WOW, thank you for saying you thought it was a good portrait John! Graham is so tickled pink with his new camera.

I love it too as it is so easy to edit them in Photoshop which is what it should be I guess but knowing me I love to fiddle LOL. ~Pat #8038101
