I also in my "imaginative mind? :-) Saw you attempting to become once again vertical on your feet? :-) A wry little smile appeared on my face thinking??? "Now the action of him attempting recovery would make a great set of photos!" :-) I immediately dismissed it because of two things? 1/ Getting there without you knowing? 2/ Being invisible! :-) Have a good weekend with the pups! cheers, Ted OC :-) -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Robert Baron Sent: January-16-16 11:36 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] IMG: 3 Puppies Looking Out Hi Uncle Ted, Thanks for the suggestions. You are of course correct PHOTOGRAPHICALLY but PHYSICALLY it would probably be at least MONDAY before I was up off the floor and able to carry on. ;-) I did recently buy a Baby Leica (X Type 113) with a rotating viewfinder that lets me get the camera down to almost where I would be if I was on the floor and it also helps to have the puppy stand on the stairs as in http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Bob+Baron/Dogs/W_L1000323Smooch.jpg.html or http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Bob+Baron/Dogs/W_L1000332c1Button.jpg.html but it is even better when the subject is on a table at the vet's office for a checkup and shots and I can use my M: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Bob+Baron/Dogs/W_L4001493c1BillAtVet.jpg.ht ml At least I converted the 3 puppies looking out the window to b&w and was able to crop out the distractions that would have been much more visually prominent if I was down on the floor! ;-) :-) Thanks again for making this a teachable moment, these lessons and reminders are always very much appreciated. Best regards, --Bob p.s. Do you think the shot of puppy being examined on the vet's table would look substantially better in b&w? I'm conflicted because I usually prefer b&w but the consumers of the dog photos always want to see the colors. ===On Sat, Jan 16, 2016 at 10:53 AM, Ted Grant <tedgrant at shaw.ca> wrote: > Hi Bob, > Kind of a neat photo! :-) > Here's a small suggestion, :-) READY? :-) > > With these little ones?
