my neighbor's dog jude. she's an old girl, so it was nice to see her moving around with so much energy here. if you look close she's actually staring down a mosquito.

no ai here, i just happen to be a real photographer. i did ,however, edit out a little stream of snot that was flying out of her nose. for her dignity...

for those interested:

camera: sony a7siii

lens: tamron 70-180 f:2.8 g1 - that's the first gen of that model. just as good as any first party 70-200 for 90% of use cases, but a quarter the price. I also love the flair characteristics of this lens, which are on full display here.

1/1250, f/2.8, iso 160, 126mm

-I wanted that big dreamy bokeh on this so i needed the 2.8 aperture, the rest is just to make it dark enough. I technically should have lowered my iso further, but at this range on this camera it hardly matters.
