Next door went out for the afternoon, so I borrowed their 1 year old Jack Russell for a photo shoot :)

She was very well behaved, and was payed 'loads of smackos' for her time and effort ;)

I don't believe it for a minute! :D :lol: It isn't in the nature of the breed!

Hyperactive and destructive come to mind... wanna swap? I've got a 10 yr old Jack (currently lives with my parents). I thought he'd slow down as he got older, but he just snores more :lol:


Great capture. The images you've been producing lately are excellent.

How good is that! You know you can always borrow (and keep) Toby if you want a Jack to model for you!

Thanks everyone :)

Simon - underneath all of that bluster, I think you really love Toby ;) You couldn't get rid of him !!!!

As for keeping her still - running around like an idiot before the shot, and promising her a treat if she was good for me :) Seems to work - asked her to hop up on the chair in the sun, showed her where to put her head, and whala :)

White background (sheet on chair), old trusty Tamron at f4.2, 1/500 and flash upped by 1.3 with beercup and cap :)

Nicer before upload - seems to have lost some of its colour, but you get the idea :)
