Puppy Loves Popcorn
Posted: Mon Apr 03, 2006 2:48 pmFormula 1 GPs mean that I make popcorn... and making popcorn means Puppy Dog is My Friend 
She has this cute thing where her eyes go cross-eyed just before she bites and I tried to capture it but couldn't really get the camera in the right position.
The shots were tricky : she'd walk away if I used the flash, so I had to go ISO1600. Also, despite a little indirect natural light and a tungsten-style desktop lamp, she wasn't a big fan of interrogation-style lights shining at her either.
In these lighting conditions, the camera's autofocus was struggling so I had to pre-set the focus area to about 45cm away from the camera and try to get her to that distance, without actually looking through the viewfinder. (Yeah, I was also trying to watch the GP while this was going on).
C&C welcome. This exercise was fun and will be re-visited in 3 weeks during the San Marino GP. However, in doing this exercise I discovered some problems (?) with the camera (?) which can be seen in the second shot above and which I've detailed here:
