Third in the Vivi Series. Her, inside in the afternoon.

More to come from this day.

Misc pix of Nala

Like the title says, selections that are 'special' of Mimi

You guessed it... Misc shots of little (if chubby) Mimi

2nd in the Vivi series. Outside in our backyard doing a little sun bathing.

All are shot with the K10D using the manual focus Voigtlander 125mm/2.5. For that reason, please pardon a few of them missing critical focus on the eyes/nose/head (but the KatzEye screen sure increases the keeper rate dramatically). then, some like IMGP8398.JPG are pretty spectacular. :)

The first few are RAWs processed in Lightroom (those having "-2" in the filename) but most all are the JPGs from the camera.

Vivi is the most adorable Pom we watched for a week while her parents went on vacation. It's going to be tough to give her back.

Photos taken with the K10D and spectacular Voigtlander 125mm f/2.5 APO Macro Lanthar on a tripod, with flash. Raws were processed in Lightroom.

Misc shots of Zoe

Misc photos of both Shiba Inus

Poor little girl was beat down by Nala. Probably a fight over a toy. Mimi doesn't back down; neither does Nala, and she's fierce. Result was punctures on Mimi's lower left lip, and lower right lip & cheek torn from the skeleton for a few inches.

& cheek torn from the skeleton for a few inches.

All shot with the Voigtlander 125mm f/2.5 with the Pentax 1.7x AF TC, using the AF mode of the TC, @ f/4. As always, No Flash / Available Light.

All shot with the Voigtlander 125mm f/2.5 with the Pentax 1.7x AF TC, using the AF mode of the TC, @ an aperture of f/4 or smaller; most are using a much smaller aperture to give me some decent DOF. As always, No Flash / Available Light.

As always, No Flash / Available Light.

Misc doggie shots with the Pentax wide angle 12-24mm f/4 as the sun started getting low on the horizon.

A decent February snow. The Shibas were loving it. Shows with the dogs seemingly far away were taken with the DA 12-24mm f/4. Shots of the dogs 'larger' were taken with the Sigma 300mm f/2.8; full frame shots were with the Sigma 2x TC.

frame shots were with the Sigma 2x TC.

Testing of my new Pentax K10D with Tamron SP AF28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical (IF) Macro Lens in the NYC Apartment. As you can see from the IMG numbers, some of the 1st shots made with the K10D. ;)
