calendar dog

calendar dog, originally uploaded by gawdessness.

she was...
a purina calendar dog -
back in her showdog heyday
today
she was doing her best to do what her girl asked of her -
literally jumping through hoops
and running through tunnels
at dog agility,
pausing for a minute
she looked over at me
and then the light fell on her

today I was trying to learn how to stop action and moved from the aperture priority setting to the tv or shutter setting for the first time.
I was happy with how it worked out, it really did stop the motion, only now, I have to learn how to use it with a flash - because it was way too dark to catch much, even with the iso pushed as high as it good go.
I am trying to learn and put into action as much as I can - I am also watching all the tutorials I can stand on Aperature, the photo management software that I downloaded today.

Eek!
