I was in the right place at the right time with the right lens.
She will never catch a deer, of course. But her herding instinct forces her to chase them. And anything else that moves.

Tasha Tuesday
She was ready for her close-up. So I took it. Isn't she the cutest? On one of our recent walks, she saw a deer in the vineyard and chased it for a while. Now she looks down every vine row she passes, looking for another one.

What a wonderful portrait. Depth of field is great, catch-light in the eye, and a nice Mona Lisa smile.
ReplyDeleteFor sure and no doubt: she's the cutest!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely lady. A picture to hang on the wall - enlarged!
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pic! Beautiful dog!
ReplyDeleteThe portrait is exceptional! Frame-worthy!
ReplyDeleteNow... that is beautiful! Who would have ever thought that Tasha would get to a point where she would sit still long enough for a photo like this LOL :)

What a nice moment you've captured. Tasha is a real beauty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful girl!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot--looks like you're in a studio with the white background. I love Tasha Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteOne of the best portraits I’ve ever seen!
ReplyDeleteI love the detail in her fur and the focus/blur. Which lens/settings did you use?
ReplyDeleteelgee, curiously, I used a 100mm macro lens. f/5.6, 1/250s, ISO 3200.
DeleteTBH I'm not surprised your using a macro lens, I use my Tamron 90mm f/2.8 quite often for portraits. I think they lend themselves well for that purpose. The settings do surprise me a bit. It's great that pics taken at ISO 3200 don't seem to show any noise, or did you have to do a lot of denoising in Lightroom/PS?
DeleteFABU pix; tasha has pretty coloring. I can't get over how big she is getting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the great comments! The background is the tile on the deck (Tasha was sitting, looking up at me), it blurred out perfectly because of the lens and the aperture setting.
ReplyDeleteSorry about typos: your = you're. And I wanted to add: lovely picture (of a beautiful dog)!
ReplyDeleteSpectacular picture. Your Christmas card, perhaps?
