Sorry P.J. it just doesn't work for me - I need some part of the dog to be in focus.

Subject: PESO -- Portrait of a Black Dog


My black dog to be exact. There was a thread not long ago about people being unable to get a decent photo of their little black dog. (I didn't bother to check the archives so maybe it was a big black dog). Be that as it may, my first thought was, obviously they didn't use flash, which would make it easy. This wasn't. I was messing around in my dark as the pit, work area, with the F 70-210, not exactly a speed demon of a lens, because I was bored, and I snapped a couple of photos of the dog in his "New" chair. Available light, from two 100 watt bulbs. Shutter speed of 4 tenths of a second.

Equipment:  Pentax K20D w/smc Pentax F 70~210 f4.0~5.6

Note: This is kind of heavily processed, to remove a bit of digital noise in the shadows and there was a distinct bluish cast that was at odds with the generally yellow cast from the bulbs so I converted it to B&W.

As usual comments are welcome but may be totally ignored.
