While I was busy with my camera in my office my curious Quaker Parakeet gave me a quizzical look as if to say, ‘what is that strange black thing in your hand?’. Well I could not let a moment like that slip by, so here is the photo I managed to capture of him at that moment. So cute!
It was quite dark in my office so you will notice the rather high ISO and the slow shutter speed I used to get this image. This still resulted in an under exposed image which I had to brighten in my processing software. Also you will notice that there is a little blurring caused by camera shake – to be expected with those camera settings and the fast action of been able to capture the photograph. However, I still thought that this was a cute image to share with you.

Butter could not melt in the mouths of these two little angles! Well – not really…
These Jack Russell puppies of ours have earned themselves their second basket already. The first one was chewed to destruction… and I can see this one is starting to go the same way.
This photo was taken in a relatively dark courtyard on a cool autumn afternoon. That’s why they were huddled together in their basket – to keep each other warm.
Using natural light and a low ISO of 100 resulted in a very low shutter speed of 1/8 of a second which was quite challenging for a hand held photograph. Even though the image has a little motion blur I still like the overall result.
Oh, I hear you ask, ‘what are those green things scattered around here and there?’ That used to be a dish washing sponge.

Hey! That blade of grass is mine!
These are our Jack Russell puppies at three and a half months old. Everything fascinates and excites them; so they are forever investigating everything and running around.
