# Random Pup Spam Here are some photos of the pups, taken with my new lens, huzzah! ## Thread In General · started by hondru · 21 replies - **Category:** [General](https://nihonken.org/community/c/general) - **Forum:** [Nihon Ken Forum](https://nihonken.org/community/) ## hondru (moderator) · 2009-04-13T02:09:11.000Z Here are some photos of the pups, taken with my new lens, huzzah! ## McYogi · 2009-04-13T02:18:14.000Z That's such a beautiful environment for the pups to run around in. I can't remember where you're located, but I sure am jealous! Beautiful dogs and photography, too, to compliment the landscape :) I borrowed a friend's nice camera for some pictures I am taking as a favor and I think I'm in love. I've spent the last 2 days snapping the dogs and can't wait to invest in my own equipment. Hope I get results half as decent as yours! ## _dlroberts · 2009-04-13T02:37:04.000Z Looks great Heidi! What's the new lens. (I'm such a gear head... :-)) ## lindsayt · 2009-04-13T04:32:36.000Z Wow, what nice pics. We are gonna have an awesome calender next year :) ## brandon_w (admin) · 2009-04-13T11:07:50.000Z Love that first shot of Rakka lying in wait. The best part about the dry dead grass of spring and fall is seeing how well a Shiba can blend into it. ## Leonberger (admin) · 2009-04-13T11:38:09.000Z The second to last show of Tojo is great! The pups look like they're having a blast. ## SophieMonster · 2009-04-13T11:42:25.000Z Aww. wow. I agree, really nice landscape and photos. ## Calia · 2009-04-13T13:12:26.000Z Those are some great pics...If Rakka weren't wearing a collar, you'd think we were looking at a wild animal ## Edgewood · 2009-04-13T13:23:59.000Z Lovely photos Heidi! And the tan grasses make it look especially neat because of the dogs coat color. I agree about the photos of Rakka. But then Brad has photos of Loa where she looks exactly like a coyote. And I have some of Kuma too where he looks more wild than domesticated. What camera and lens do you have? ## Oliversdad · 2009-04-13T17:35:14.000Z Some great pictures!!!! Love them!!!! ## sunyata · 2009-04-13T18:10:03.000Z OOOH! What kind of new lens did you get??? And the pups look great. It is awesome that you live where they can run around and play. ## brandon_w (admin) · 2009-04-13T18:26:12.000Z Heidi uses a Pentax / K200D. Her new lens goes to at least 300mm and is a Sigma. I'm thinking maybe the 70-300, unless maybe she shelled out the big bucks for the Sigma AF APO 100-300mm F4 EX DG HSM Lens for Pentax. You can learn a lot from the "more properties" on flickr. Looking at more photos the lens goes down to at least 93mm, so it's gotta be a 70-300, I would guess. But there are a couple different options for that lens. ## _dlroberts · 2009-04-13T18:57:43.000Z LOL. I went through the same deductive process Brandon. :-) I just gave up and decided to ask her though. ## KFontaine04 · 2009-04-13T18:59:46.000Z *Cough*CameraGeeks*Cough* ## Kaddy · 2009-04-13T19:15:23.000Z LOL Kristin! Those are great pictures!! I wish I understood anything about photography, but at least I can manage to turn the camera on to get memories :o) ## sujewel · 2009-04-13T19:38:23.000Z Stunning pix! ## brada1878 (admin) · 2009-04-13T20:15:05.000Z Great pics! Congrats on the new lens too. :o) I really like the 1st pic of Rakka and the first one of Skella... also the last one of Rakka. You take wonderful pics. We don't get enough spam from you! ---- ## Sangmort (moderator) · 2009-04-13T21:36:45.000Z YES! SO happy you decided to gi with the lens, means more spammage for Osy. SOOOOOooooo MORE SPAM PLEASE! GO PRACTICE WITH YOUR NEW LENS!!! [ 2nd pic of Rakka my favorite, it'd be my new desktop picture but I've grown really attached to Kona being on there lol Maybe I'll pu her on my mac ] ~ ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2009-04-14T12:47:01.000Z Beautiful pics, Heidi! ## hondru (moderator) · 2009-04-14T17:48:49.000Z Thanks for the compliments, folks. Detective Brandon has it figured out. It's the Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro Telephoto Zoom Lens. Next on the lens shopping list is a nice prime lens. Pentax is known for its high quality prime lenses, so I'm pretty excited about that. I just have to stop being dirt poor, lol. ## brandon_w (admin) · 2009-04-14T17:53:35.000Z That Sigma lens takes really nice shots. Maybe I'll have to get a Sigma for my next lens instead of shelling out for a Nikon. I'd like to get another lens before I go back to school, because I know I wont be getting one during the two years I am in school. Too bad what I want is a super wide angle and those are never cheap. Well maybe that's what I want... ## ShikokuSpirit (moderator) · 2009-04-14T18:02:01.000Z Definitely love the first Rakka photo. With a lens like this, you should try and get some more action shots. I bet they'll turn out great! You have the background for them. So...we need some more spam of your pack! --- **Navigate:** [Forum home](https://nihonken.org/community/?format=md) · [Sitemap](https://nihonken.org/community/sitemap.xml)
