Percy

May I introduce… This is Percy, probably one of the friendliest dogs I have ever seen. Didn’t bark at all despite various provocations from other dogs he encountered.
Shooting pet portraits for other people is always a tricky thing. Not everyone likes a small depth of field, so you have to find out their individual taste.

Winter is nearing slowly but steadily. What can you expect in this season?
I still have some nice stuff to show from my mountrain trip, but I am also going to share some pictures from travels I did in the last 2-3 years (Dolomites, Denmark, UK, Berlin, Munich, Cologne, Netherlands to name but a few) as well as some black and white work and an occasional still life. And I don’t need to mention pet portraits – you can always count on these in this blog.
Moreover, I plan to share with you some of my old gear (vintage alert!) and a blast from the past now and then.

Have a nice week and stay healthy!

Whoa, Nellie!

Sorry, I just could not resist the allusion to Nelly Furtado’s debut album (mind the different spelling though).

This is – you might have guessed it by now – Nellie. She’s a cute one, albeit a bit shy. Might have made some bad experiences with humans in the past, I’m afraid. Hopefully, she’ll be gaining more trust in the future.

Shots taken during the “blue hour” after sun set with my nifty fifty wide open.
I like the typical full-frame look with its shallow depth of field here.

Thinking…

A dog portrait today.
I always wonder what they are thinking when they have that look. I guess something about food… 😉

Holidays Pet Style…

Many of you know that we can actually learn a lot from animals.
For example, how to ignore stress during holidays – no rush, but just sleeping, eating, and wonder.
Hope you have been taking things easy as well…

I’ve neglected the dog friends for some time now, so I hope you like this portrait…
