My Vet asked me to shoot his staff and their pets. Nothing fancy, just some shots he can hang in the waiting room. It was like shooting a hockey game where you didn't know which way the puck was going.:rofl Thank goodness for 8 frames/sec.:wink
Of course the staff was just window dressing. The 4-legged models were obviously the main draw.

    I want a gig like that - totally fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Only nit is that I'd hesitate to use #2 and #3 - in 3 the dog is looking a bit wild-eyed, and #2's yawn betrays anxiety on the part of the dog (yawning is a dog "calming signal" and something they do when they're stressed). Obviously, that call is up to the client, but just mentinoning it.

    Other that, fantastic - I'm really impressed, because I know how much trouble I have when I'm trying to take pictures of our 4-footed family member!!!!

    Looks like a fun job with fantastic results. I will agree that I wouldn't use #2 (but mainly cuz the doc looks a little stiff). I like the dog's expression in #3--my impression wasn't so much 'wild-eyed' as 'I'm ready to play, not sit here and pose for you.' Hard for me to pick a favorite because all of them are great.

    Great job!

    Thanks Phillip, The pooch in #11 was all over the place at first. the owner finally got him on her lap but he was looking everywhere except at the camera. I gave out a shrill whistle and he snapped his head around and "click".clap.gif

    Thanks divamum, throughout this whole shoot I was totally trying capture pet facial expressions as much as possible. mwink.gif

    Thanks Sherry, I agree about #2, but the Doc is a good friend and he looks like that when he is about to crack up.
    BTW, the Golden in #1 is named Mika. She is the daughter of my Golden, Amber who you will find featured on my Smugmug website homepage.

    I love the dog's yawn in #2. You're boring the death out of me. Laughing.gif

    Great job on what is not an easy shoot.
