Last one. I think this one was my favorite.

I appreciate whenever there is interplay in our photographs, such as the fact that the brown spots in the backdrop match the brown spots on the dog.

any room to move the backdrop further from the camera?

Looks like a very nice lens.

Great shots, and a beautiful pup! My fav is...I can haz treat now?

Nope, that was one of my concerns. I would like more room between him and the backdrop and him and the lights. I live in a shoebox.

In the spring I can set up in the garage and have MUCH more room. Right now it's a wee bit chilly for that.

Looks like a very nice lens.

"Nice picture, you must have an expensive camera". LOL

Just kidding Ron, it is a nice lens. My wife bought it for me because she is the best wife ever. Nikon 85mm 1.8g. Sharpest thing I've ever owned.

If you like that one...

Here's one of him the first week we brought him home when he was 9 weeks old.

Best name ever.

Best name ever.

I agree. Thanks! One of the people from the AKC actually called me to tell me how much they liked that name. Well that and try to sell me pet insurance... so it may have been a weighted opinion...

Yeah, he was (and still is) fluffy as $%*&. Those paws in the picture of him at 9 weeks were almost the same size as my wife's hands. He is the dictionary definition of clodhopper.
