Today, long-time friends Marlee and Riley (centre and left) made a new pal in Maple (right), a two year-old doodle who has just moved into the neighbourhood with her family. Apparently, Maple has a body and hair like Riley but a temperament like Marlee (shy and fearful of new people).
It took the new pup only a short time to find her role among the two older dogs: she's the playful youngster who gets away with things. To a point. Then Marlee has to put her in her place!
The photograph itself is evidence of the challenges you face when you have the low-light conditions of a deeply cloudy day and the non-stop movement of dogs as your subject. In order to get enough light into the camera, you have to sacrifice both shutter speed (with the result that moving objects can become blurred) and aperture (which means that your depth of focus is very narrow). Hence, Marlee and Riley are both a little bit out of focus: Marlee because she's beyond the depth of focus and Riley because, well, Riley never stops moving.
