First set of pictures taken in manual!

(then edited in RawTherapee!)

All pictures were taken with my mom's Nikon D3100 using a 55mm lense (or so RawTherapee is telling me!) Some have ISO 3200 and others are 400, I was just testing things out today but I liked a few of the results.

Uploading them to Flickr and resizing them took a bit of quality away but they're still not too bad. I think I'll be uploading a lot more photos now, just a warning!

I absolutely love how this turned out, if only she hadn't blinked! The little gremlin...



Typical Cali expression!





And Moses!



Also, tips and critique on the pictures are welcome.

A few more from today...

This one is possibly my favourite...



Cali's reaction when she sees a treat is: sit, bark, twirl, twirl, pause, twirl, repeat until you say a command. So, I snapped a picture in the midst of a twirl.



This picture turned out super dark so I had to try and lighten it up some.

Lol the twirl shot is great! Good job!

[Cali Mae]

Thanks! It was a lucky shot because I didn't have time to refocus the camera before she went off on a twirling frenzy, so I was happy that her face was at least in focus. Hopefully I'll get better at action shots before too long though.
