New Camera/DSLR - German Shepherd and the Cats

After years of wishful thinking and months of searching, I finally have a DSLR! Bought a used Nikon D90 with under 2,000 shutter actuations in absolutely PRISTINE condition. Honestly not a single thing blemish or fault, and I absolutely love it. Still depending on the automatic settings, will be studying the manual closely, can't wait to finally figure it out.

But for now, I wanted to share a few shots. LOTS of things I'm doing wrong, but haven't even begun learning yet and wanted to have a bit of fun first.

Trent is happy about the new camera, too


Mostly because he gets rewarded for posing




Guard dog posing


But that's awfully hard work


So we take a break




Then Trent turns on the Puppy Look to the max and asks if we can head out


Of course I oblige


He's still required to pose, though


Then he gets to run!






And pose again


And even at home


"...please let me get that treat you just threw"


His favorite giraffe toy, torn up and restitched more times than I can remember






No longer so sure about this whole new camera thing his human got

But then we move inside again!




The resident kitten makes her appearance








As does Bree






Flipping for belly rubs










Raina and Bree pretend to be friends


Really like this picture of Raina


Meanwhile Trent is grateful that I've found other subjects to shoot


Done! Thanks for looking at the huge photodump

Great pictures, very sharp. And beautiful animals too. I love the posing

I'm so jealous! I want a DSLR but no luck
Lovely shots, I LOVE the eyes, SLRs really bring out the eyes in animals, beautiful

beautiful pictures of some stunning pets!

Stunning pixs. Second one of Trent i love. & the black cats sre so clear & precise. Hard to get pux of black cats so sharply, think maybe i need to invest in such a camera

I am very in love with that first picture! Stunning

Your cats are equally as photogenic!

Fantastic photos Voraus. I especially love the outdoors Trent ones

Aw gorgeous pics, but did you not get the hint when Raina started hiding from you under a stool

Lovely shots..i also use a d90 its a superb camera,looks like you are enjoying it too.
