Patty,
It really wasn't hard getting Keiko in the tree. She knows the command "up" so I pointed and said "up".......lol. It helps that in the previous weeks there were squirrels in the tree.........l
ol. She is really only about 3 ft off the ground.
And yes, she does glamour pose. I actually do wish I had looked into getting her into print or tv ads when we lived in Ca. Not much opportunity out here.
And it's not always easy, nor has it always been easy. Posey fought me for the first year doing group shots. And Nigel and Gunther are hard to get to look at the camera. If you notice, most of Gunther's shots are of him looking off to the side..........
lol.
but now that Posey is more confident and I've figured out everyone's "key" words to get them to look at the camera and look alert, its been much easier.
But don't think that all the pix turn out like this. For one pose, I can take anywhere from 4-20 shots and maybe get one or two that turn out. Here are some of the rejects past and present:
Bright sun anyone?
N&P not happy here
Again, Posey not happy. She looked like this in most pix until I figured out her "key words"
Gunther not impressed with the pretty flowers
And just to prove that they do move
, here is a recent pic of Gunther at the dog park.
