Wiblog - Paul's Wibblings

Must admit the force wasn't strong in me this evening but Jack was dozing in the doorway to my study and the Helios was still on the camera from an abortive trip to take photos in the snow yesterday so ...

I think there's going to be a lot of these through the year. This one is mainly an experiment in selecting an area as I wanted to bring the colour in his eyes up a bit (his left one really was glowing red).

Classic example of the best camera is the one that's with you. I really needed a better camera for this shot but at least my phone camera app will let me over and under expose so I was able to push the EV so I could see inside the cave a little while deliberately blowing out the entrance.

I was actually testing using my new camera case while walking Jack. Which sort of worked. But this came out OK (once I'd "shopped" out the lead). What a fine boy, looking worried as usual.

This photo is a bit of a cheat. If you look at his eyes in the full size image you'll see that I've lightened them as they are so dark they were lost in the original. Still, it works well at a reduced resolution.

This is not the article I originally wrote so if you've read it already my apologies but I think you'll understand when you get to the end of it.  read more ...

An old photo from December 2010 where I finally I've managed to catch Jack in the act: normally by the time I get to a camera he's got bored.  read more ...
