My photojournalist teacher always said the hardest subjects to work with are kids and animals.
No kidding.
That was proven to me Tuesday when I tried to get some shots of Lulu for a piece I'm working on. I am planning a story about summer foods for pets.
Lulu got to be in the pool area at my apartment complex for the first time ever, and that plus the heat made her less than interested in taking part.
But eventually, I was able to get some shots off.
Not entirely happy with these either. I guess I'll try again. How come she never wants to smile? She looks like a dinosaur!
Here's one photo shoot that did work out:
This photo of Lulu is entered into the Life+Dog cover dog photo contest! If we win or place, we can win money for SPCA of Central Florida. If you are on Facebook, please go vote at this link.

There are good photos. That's a big watermelon. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
ReplyDeleteShe didn't eat all of it. I cut some out for myself. And I'm making a bowl full for her.
DeleteHeeyyyyyyyy leave some for me! WOOF WOOF!
ReplyDeleteIs it possible LuLu and Wilhelm are related? He only smiles for photos when he is asleep!
ReplyDeleteLol! Sometimes she does, but never when I need to.
DeleteI like the second photo! I'm hopping on over to Facebook now.
ReplyDeleteThanks Clowie!
DeleteI think the photos are really cute!
ReplyDeleteWell, Lulu looks good eating the watermelon!! That's not a bad shot but I am sure the heat didn't help her smile.
ReplyDeleteNo! Probably not. But I couldn't do it in the house, and the patio is too small!
DeleteNice photos Lulu! Have a Wonderful Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteI love that shot of Lulu. I voted!
ReplyDeleteSuper CUTE! Daisy loves watermelon, too...especially frozen cubes of it on a hot day!
ReplyDeleteI should freeze it! I hadn't considered that. She loves it when it's hot.
DeleteI voted! Good luck! I think your photos are great. I have a miserable time trying to photograph Dakota
ReplyDeleteChester and Gretel always "pose" the best when the camera is not out :) I think my frustration with some photo shoot attempts gets picked up and reflected in the photos. Might be coincidence but things always go better when I am relaxed and take my time.
ReplyDeleteVery, very cute! I can never get pics of my dog Ace when I'm trying to pose him. But when he's just being himself I can usually pull it off. Now I want some watermelon! Is that a good treat for dogs?
ReplyDeleteI like the photos! Looks like she's enjoying that watermelon :) Good luck in the contest!
ReplyDeleteThat cover shot is awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat that Lulu got to eat the props too! :)
Have a fun day,
Your pal Snoopy :)
