this is katee's good mate sashy .. she's 14 years old, actually her birthday is on 6th january so she's nearly 15 ..
i'd been experimenting with the flash on bugs today and near the house was this puddle .. i wondered how the flash would affect the reflections and the water etc and just as i got down to photograph it sasha came along ..
she seems to have a sixth sense .. of being exactly where you dont want her to be .. if you want her close so she doesnt frighten some animal away then she's nowhere near you .. if you want her nowhere near you, coz you dont want her to scare off some bug, then she's right there .. she's pretty deaf .. poor old sashy !!! ..
this was taken with the flash in the daylight, altho it was cloudy .. f11 ..
Love this with the reflections and the closeness from being down low. Also the colors are very vibrant and crisp. My cats do the same thing by the way. They won't let me photograph them, but they will walk all over setups and cast shadows where they shouldn't.
It turned out well and I think she adds to the shot; that ripples she created just adds to the one on the left. But you have to admire that sense those animals have - just waiting to ruin a shot sometimes!
my dog does the same thing yesterday I was trying to take some pictures of this really neat looking ice, right as I got my tripod and camera ready my dog came over and stepped all over destroying my picture....I think the reflection turned out well..
