Nothing spells mischief to Jimmy and Wilson like the holiday photo shoot! There's lots of manhandling to position them just so, sometimes they have to wear embarrassing holiday head gear, and emotions run high that one or the other of them is getting more treats. They are very thankful this torture happens just once a year!
I didn't get as many successful shots as I'd have liked. I was using my "Nifty Fifty" 50mm prime lens. It gives the most awesome bokeh but the focal length is very specific and I ended up with many out of focus shots. Here are a few that worked out (or nearly did....)
Posing with my favorite Christmas character......

I love Wilson's glare in this next one. You can almost see him frowning. He's trying to let me know he doesn't like being placed so close to Mr. Intense. He fears for his life, well, at least for his cookie.

Feeling a bit safer now, but still taking the whole modelling gig a bit too seriously......
I had fun with this lens, so the holiday photo torture may well have a Part 2! My poor suffering boys....
OMD, that scarf looks FABULOUS!!! Loving the Grinch toy as well. Great photos! *wags* - Gilligan from wagsahoy.com
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed, the scarf does look stunning. I love your photos and commentary!
ReplyDeleteOh but they do look so handsome. Have a marvellous Monday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
I love the expressions. All the photos are cute.
ReplyDeleteWe know those holiday 'shoots' well! Maybe Wilson is just trying to be Grinch-like!
ReplyDeleteIf looks could kill!! But I do love what the effect that lens had.
ReplyDeleteWell tell those boys it was worth the suffering cuz the pics are so cute! Going to have to pose Rita with our Grinch! Why didn't I evef think of that before?!
ReplyDeleteThey are too cute!! I hope you do more photos! These are awesome!! <3 We've been doing lots of photoshoots! I'm trying to get used to using full manual. Before, I always just used P for all of my shoots. :D
ReplyDeleteI love these! I have the same issues with the focusing on my 35mm. It is such a pain, but the bokeh is worth it!
ReplyDeleteAdorable, but we think it's a torture shoot
ReplyDeleteLily & Edward
Wow, you guys are great at posing! Was there any enticement?
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a fun day,
Your pal Snoopy :)
You're both better than me at posing! /(^.^)\
ReplyDeleteCrikey ...... they don't look too impressed to me but then who would be. I hate those photo shoots!! Mum says the pics are great. What would SHE know??
ReplyDeleteYou boys are adorable! I especially like the Grinch photos. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteJanet
Someone looks seriously miffed at having to wear such a girly scarf! Lol!
ReplyDeleteThe shots are great! I don't use the 50mm anymore as they can leave the subject flat... but I love my 100mm Macro.
ReplyDeleteYou're a brave woman to attempt such an ambitious photoshoot. No only is my skill meager, my camera slow, and the light bad but my dog is very impatient.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd be better off just taking an old candid and photoshopping in some snow and Christmas decor.
I've only got 2 lenses, the nifty fifty being one of them and I love it but haven't used it much lately. Something wider where I don't have to get so far away inside is on the wish list :) Gorgeous photos of the boys and the tree lights are lovely! I don't really do Christmas but I just might have to try and get a Christmassy photo of my guys. I'm feeling left out, lol!
