Life aquatic? What about Bob?

Dog in cap is totally Bowie's thing. Check our profile or Instagram if you need more whippet in a hat

You understand Bowie so well, he is such a city dog

We've done a bunch of Dogue covers, but it takes a lot of motivation to work on those

We haven't completely abandoned Reddit, but Lemmy is a lot more cozy.

You're not far off. We rented a cottage.

Absolutely! We shot this about 20 minutes north of Haliburton, Ontario (I was there for a bike race).

The camera is a Sony a6700 (it's an APS-C camera so make sure to adjust if you're shooting full-frame), the lens is a Sigma 16mm F1.4 prime lens .

Shot @ ISO 100, f2.8

Turns out it was only a 15 minute exposure (I think my 30 minute exposure was on my film camera, oooops)

I found the north star by using the Photopills app, I also used the app to figure out what exposure to shoot at. It's a great app for calculating exposure, finding the milky way, and planning shoots.

I brought along a tripod, and used the (terrible) Sony app to remotely control the length of the exposure in bulb mode.

Previous to this I took plenty of shorter star photos (15 seconds, ISO 1600, F1.4) which turned out really well. For those shots I just used a 2 second shot timer to prevent camera shake when activating the shutter.

Hey that's me!

Thanks folks! This is neat!

It really is a gorgeous shot

Ah I know them as those pink and yellow ones ❤️

We tried but the bee was too buzzy to pose for a hat photo 😬

I'm shooting with a Sony APS-C camera and a sigma f2.8 18-50mm lens.

This was shot with natural light and no special equipment (besides the camera). I did a little work in Lightroom (lightweight Photoshop) but this is mostly as shot.

I got pretty lucky with the light here though.

Edit: I should add that I deleted about 70 photos from this mornings session. I shoot a lot and pray to the autofocus gods.

He's not known for his patience, so I made sure to give him a treat for waiting a few minutes while I got the shot

We try to keep it interesting! Thanks!

Bowie loves long dogs! He can spot them from across the park and he gets so excited.

I might be biased, but I believe he's the best boy.

You might be on to something. Next up bigger dog dish, more room for treats!

You can't even hear them bro, they're too high pitch

I've been taking Bowie photos once a day for four years now.

I started with just a bad One Plus phone, today I have a tiny Bowie sized studio set up with a flash and selection of camera lenses.

It's fun to improve and try new things, it helps that Bowie seems to genuinely enjoy taking photos with me.

He is capable of evil, but he's generally the best dog ever. We love him so much.
