Abbey the Cairn Terrier and the New Canon 5d MK II – CT Pet Photography

by | Apr 24, 2010 | Dogs, Personal Ramblings

Last night I picked up my new Canon 5D Mark II full-frame dSLR….first, I must say, I’ve waited so long to get this camera, and boy was it worth the wait!  This camera is a wee-bit heavier than my 20D and the LCD screen is HUGE compared to the old one.  I can actually see the image!  I have yet to try the HD video…I think I need to sit down and go through the manual first.  I will have to say, I’m not sure I’m liking the location of the “trash” button on the 5D.  On the 20D it is located under the LCD screen…the 5D has the trash button where the “photo review” button is.  I’ve almost wiped out my images at least three times so far.  Anyway, here are some of the first images shot with it.  Abbey the Cairn Terrier…isn’t she cute?!

A Little Something Different – CT Pet & Family Photography

by | Apr 10, 2010 | Family Photography

Just the other day, John and I had the pleasure of shooting some photos for our friends Mike, Jodi, and their little boy Kyan.  Mike is the owner of Complete Canines, LLC.  We had just finished photographing two dogs for their Petfinders ads, and then we packed up our bags full of gear and went down to the beach in Groton…just before sunset.  It was a great shoot!  Not our usual Pet Photography…but since they are BIG dog lovers and very active in fostering and training dogs with the American Lab Rescue, we just couldn’t resist!  How beautiful is this family!
