This is something I want to/need to practice; manual focus, bad light and a constantly moving target make macros of doggy noses really difficult to shoot. The shot is not as perfect as I’d like, but I see it as a good starting point for shooting unpredictable subjects.
I didn’t want to use a flash as the lens has to be really in close and it would completely startle/blind Ziggy. Perhaps I need to sacrifice on noise levels and go for a higher ISO?
Hmmm… This is new territory for me: I’m so used to shooting inanimate objects.
My name is Claire and this is my blog. I live with my Partner and our 2 year old adopted Greyhound, 
This design was inspired by & made with the greatest admiration and respect for the work of the late John Heartfield.
That’s pretty darned good for a photo of him when you’re so up close. I haven’t a clue about camera settings so I can’t offer an opinion there. It’s something I want learn about.
Charlie: Thanks, although hopefully, I’ll work something out — even if it’s through trial and error!
