Yesterday, Mae and I went to my grandparents’ house to take some pictures (Mae already took a few earlier yesterday) of their dog and feed / play with him (they are on a trip down to Florida). We got some pretty good shots of him jumping for tennis balls and a stick (it was hilarious he almost did backflips). I used 18 / 55 (wide angle) and a 70 / 300 (zoom / macro) millimeter lens (though I wish I brought a tripod the 70 / 300 lens was super heavy). I had it on aperture priority and manual focus I was also trying to better / cleaner backgrounds. Towards the end Desi got tired so I took some close ups of a flower and a budding leaf with a thin strand of web on it using the 300 millimeter lens on macro mode. With Desi I was going for action shots and higher aperture so more of the picture is in focus, with the flower and budding plant I blurred the background as much as I could (using a lower aperture). Then this morning, I went back over to their house (with the 18 / 15 wide angle lens to get more action shots), and took pictures first so Mae got Desi after I tired him out. I got him when he was more active and wanting to jump higher and run faster than he did for me yesterday (which made some pretty good photos).
