Kitten Rescue The boys and I have been rescuing the cats and kittens on another old farmstead that is to be burned within the very near future. So far, the boys and I have "captured" 7 adult cats and 10 kittens, with (7 adults & 4 kittens to go)... Two of the kittens, Paris & Brit, had barely openned their eyes when we retrieved them, and we have been bottle feeding them for the past 16 days. Another kitten (tortie) was only about 6 weeks old and has just been placed in a "new" home. We have 7 more kittens to place... IF anyone's interested?!

Ohoh..my boyfriend feels very lucky living so far away from you.. If I'd have my way this place would be more like a zoo and these would've been more than welcome! I hope you'll find somebody soon..

Be careful what you say... I might be willing to meet you half way in order to give some of these little guys a good home!!!

Ok this is my first shot with my 300D so ... cut me some slack since I ws so excited I just ran out took a pic, installed software and uploaded to smugmug.
When my wife finds out about this camera I might be a dead man but I will be a happy dead man.
Like I said just a snap shot but boy am I impressed with the background blur(unattainable for the most part on my A80)
Time to post another dog
Now I just have to find one, be right back.............
That is one of my daughter's vicious pugs, and The White Dog. I love that white dog, the pug's name is Wilson. Maybe I should explain, looking at the dullness of what could be great photo, this has not been photoshopped at all.
Just put on Smugmug, so as not to lose it.
Here's one of my son LuC holding one of the Rescued Kittens... Here is a photo of LuC holding one of the 7 Rescued Kittens (ready for adoption) that we are caring for here in our home. If anyone is interested in a kitten, you can view the rest of them on my website at: through the lens, ltd. Featured Gallery.

This little fella visited the salt water for the first time. There was kelp to drag around and everyone stopped to say hello. Yup. It was a great day. Cold now, and tired.
What a great picture.

Great shot of the young feller. This one's adorable too.
Thanks Sid... glad you liked them... Tough getting photos of kittens that just a short time ago, had never been handled by humans. As you can see, they are already really quite friendly, and docile...
But the big question now is: Do you want a cute and adorable, ready to be loved, not afraid of dogs, kitten?...
What I really need is a way to get some of these photos sen by prospective adoptees!

Thank you Andy... That is flattering... But "What is it that you like about the photograph?" What could I still do to improve it. Is there something that feels more right about it? Something missing? Whould you have done something different? What about the tonal range? Warmth of color? Do they seem right? Lighting... I guess I need you to be concise, and brutal if necessary. I'm sure there must be some room for improvement...
I'd really appreciate your hard evaluation, if you have the time, and don't mind.
I need to get these right... I hope to open the shop in October or so.
Thanks again, for everything.

Old Dog just learned a new trick ...
Ever since Buddy was a puppy, he has hated water. Somehow he skipped the whole "water gene". More like a cat ... wouldn't be caught DEAD near water.
Well today he showed us old dogs do learn new tricks! (he's 10).
Today was a beautiful sunny day, so we took a long walk at a local off leash area and walked down to the river. This wasn't anything new, we've been here before. Maybe it was the heat, who knows, but Buddy just ran right in to the water like he had been doing it all his life!
Does this look like a dog who hates water? I don't think so!
Drying off in the grass before we get back into the car ...

So who took my dog? My dog hates the water [/QUOTE]

Great pictures, whoever the dog is.
Dynamic Range
Had to up the iso to 800 to get 1/60th shutter speed on this shot.
I met 'Merlin' yesterday at a fundraiser for John Kerry's presidential campaign. He is 16 years old and pretty quiet. The shot was difficult because of the large difference in the lit lighter body and the unlit dark face.

Ay, the's the hard part about taking in the kittens... finding good homes for them.
I shouldn't speak for Andy... but I will! I think the reason the shot with your son works so well is because it captures a wonderful, soft and loving expression in his eyes and smile... which pairs nicely with the kitten. And the composition works too.
I agree, good photo of the Westie
Rutt, that is your photo of the Westie..............can you get movement from it?
I agree that it is really good. Was thinking it was just because of the breed, cute breed, and I have learned that feet and small dogs are good, but even the curve of the sidewalk works well. Just a good photo, I will agree.
Also, since I just saw it, I like the photo of Lucy. A collie, I think.
ginger
I may be wrong on who owns dogs and who comments, checking on that gets to be "work" after a while. Whoever takes the shots, they are good.
Sitting on the sidewalk to get photos
And that is unusual??? I often sit on the sidewalk, or ground, where ever to get my dog's pictures. In fact, it is amazing what one can see just sitting on the sidewalk. I get tired, sit down, see all sorts of good stuff to take pictures of.
If I want action shots or whatever from my dogs, in my postage stamp sized yard, I go outside, sit on the walk and wait.
I am sitting on the sidewalk here. I don't know where some of my other dog photos are from that yard, I am spoiled by using smugmug to put them here, but I sat on the sidewalk, I do that to show my photographer husband how I do it.
He sat in the chair, and he became interesting to me. The dogs were running around the bushes, so you can definitely see a dog running on the right and my husband is posing on the left. I put it into black and white just for the heck of it.
My favorite way to take pictures is to just wait. So, especially with a dog, I sit on the ground and wait, makes them comfortable. They become bored after awhile and go on about their business. I am always surprised at people who don't "wait" on just about everything, kids, dogs, people..........well, maybe it is because I like candids. Here is a portrait candid.
That is so "us". g
There are so few poses I will take a picture of, I think the challenge for him is to use a pose from his work situation that I will "shoot".
