Dog Days – A Walk In The Park

[Categories: Photography, Dogs]

It is taking me forever to read and review Lapham’s Quarterly and forever to post pictures in my Florida 2014 series .  Today was time for a break and a walk in the park.  A dog walk in particular.  A charity dog walk in support of cures for pet cancer.

Let’s see if I can keep it simple, post a few photos with as few comments as possible (THAT will be the hard part), and be done with it.

I only used the 35mm lens today (Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX Lens).  I haven’t used it much and bought it because Ken Rockwell says it’s his lens of choice.

I took a few warm-up shots first.

Flowers on the deck.

(Click, scroll, click, zoom.  You know the drill.)

Bandana on, ready to walk.

We be walkin’

Wash Park, Denver.

Made it this far! Sign should say Colorado Walker.

Fluffies! Apparently not sled dogs. 🙂

Made it this far! Finish line is in sight.

Bully for you.

Westie conference. We’re outta’ here.

I know with the fixed length lens (35mm in this case) you have to move yourself closer or further from your subject depending on the shot.  I’m spoiled with the 18-55mm zoom and being able to frame it just right.  I usually seemed too close with the 35.  Practice practice.

Have a nice day.

Walk your dog.
