Sharp Dressed Dogs

"Gee, Uncle Zachary, what should we do tonight?"

Zachary: "How about a fancy ball - you could try out your new tux!"

Henry: "Only if you wear that mask Momma just made."

Hehehehehe

Dog Blog Post #784

Oops... somehow yesterday just slipped by me, and by the time I realized that, it was today.

Photography Assignment

• Daily Dog Challenge "292. With A Friend"
• Our Daily Challenge - Aug 18, 2012 - "Group"
• Scavenge Challenge Aug 2012 - "7. Find or manufacture a mask (be artistic!) and pose yourself or a friend wearing it."

The Plan

The Big Idea was to use these prompts to get my mask shot for Scavenge Challenge. Since I knew it was going to take me a while to make, I wanted to do it over the weekend.

The idea for the mask itself came from a Martha Stewart Halloween ideas book that I checked out from the library.

The Problems

Good grief, this was a ridiculously hard picture to get.

I had to hold the mask, take the picture, and still manage to get the boys to look respectable.

The Solution

So what's Zachary looking at? Me, lying flat on my back on the floor between the boys and the camera, holding up the mask, hoping I'm getting it in roughly the right spot as I click the remote to fire the camera.

The big question is, what the heck was Henry looking at? There's nothing over there but cabinets and one of the light stands!

And of that wasn't enough mischief...

Sniff sniff sniff

Snuffle snuffle SNORT!

Look quick...

"Cookie? What cookie?"

Note to self: Replace batteries in Speedlight before using again. (sigh)

Speaking of batteries - I did a bit of research, and just ordered Sanyo's Eneloop AA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries for said Nikon Speedlight.

Hopefully, this will put and end to my battery wasting ways. And boy, do I go through a LOT of batteries!
