Eddie.

It's been awile since I've took some photos because when its -25 to -30 outside, I don't want to take my camera gear out in temperatures that cold, let alone be outside! I got a Canon 70-200mm F-4 L series lens for Christmas, so today I took some photos of my dog, Eddie. He was a challenge to photograph because not alot of natural light comes in my house because of its location, I didn't use a tripod since I needed to be near ground level, and I needed him to be still since I was handholding the camera. Since these shots are all handheld, and my L doesn't have an Image Stabilizer, I had to use ISO's of 400 and 800 and use a wide open aperture (F-4.0) to get enough light in to bump up my shutter speeds to the 80-100 second range. I got Eddie to sit in a spot where sunlight, that was coming through my porch door, was hitting the wall, reflecting some natural light onto him. So forgive the noise! I finally figured out to get Eddie somewhat still by using dog treats as you will see. Basically it worked out for both of us!

















Stay...







Go get it!







It didnt take Eddie long to scarf this down, after waiting patiently!
