beloved poodle

Lazy afternoon I frequently see this face looking at me when I'm sprawled out on the floor. I can never get the picture to turn out--there's always too much glare or too little light. But it's adorable and sweet and my heart always melts.

very sweet :)

(three tricks to try: check to see if your camera has a backlight filter in its mode selections. failing that, most cameras that cost more than $50 have a feature that let you lock exposure on a point other than your subject before you take the picture - if so, lock exposure on, say, the floor, then take the shot. failing that as well, check to see if you have a spot metering mode - that'll set the exposure based on jerry himself rather than on the whole scene, since it analyzes only the dead center of the composition for exposure metering.)

Black pets are so hard to photograph. My m8 has a black cat. I like both of these!

Our black dog has matte black straight fur. She becomes a shadow.

Our best photos have been in some sort of light, like what J's in now (and he's in nice light, and that's a gorgeous shot, so much like DJ's face) but with fill-flash.

How come, whenever I see him, I want to put a tiara on him and say, "Look at the PRETTY PRETTY PRINCESS!!"???

He's a cutie I also meant to say.

Do you have manual controls on your digital camera?
