Nikon D3x Bread Sticks | Zander & Nick
Nikon D3x Bread Sticks | Zander & Nick Love everyone and they will love you back. What goes around, comes around. A Pug and any boy always have a special bond. Pugs, like most dogs, instinctively know little girls and little boys are special. Pugs seem to love them just a bit more when they are around them. For more Pug wisdom, see Pug Wisdom | a 7 Image Story.
The Back Story A spur of the moment simple click only happens if you have a camera in your hands. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.

Nikon 1 V1 Potpourri | Montana Hank
Nikon 1 V1 Potpourri | Montana Hank A friend at the Gallatin River Ranch asked us to their house for dinner one night. Before dinner we took a few pictures from their deck. This image of yours truly, the ranch, and the Bridger Mountains is a decent example of a landscape portrait. The whole idea is to get a good portrait and a good landscape image in the same photograph.
The Back Story To keep as much of the foreground and background in focus, I chose auto iso, aperture priority, and f/8, then handed the camera to our host to make the click. From a compositional standpoint, I just told the host to keep me off center. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.
