When getting ready for winter here up north, anything and everything is a great reason to create and celebrate. Halloween or Samhain marks the end of the harvest season (I've just cut the last bits of mint to dry), and the start of the dark...
"Would you mind looking after a dog?" my friend texted, and I could barely temper my excitement, especially after learning that it would be a young Border Collie who would visit me. I absolutely love having dog guests, only my dogs (especially Oona) don't match with...
ISO 320: not too much noise. 25sec: long exposure so I have enough time for playing with the light. f22 for the starburst effect 16mm on Nikon. Edited in Lightroom to pull the shadows....

Do you also love all the little details about your dog(s)? I certainly do and I can't resist sneaking up to them and capture it all. The texture of their wet noses is probably my favourite! Or the marks of their fur! With most lenses,...
Never did it take me this long to decide on a lens! Perhaps it's because I've been working with Nikon only for so many years that I just knew what would be a good match for me, but this time, I was VERY lost. For...
