If you have followed my pet life gallery, then you have definitely seen a ton if pictures of this little guy. This is my wife’s and my pride and joy, our toy schnauzer, Gus. Full name, Sir Franklin Augustus. We do not have any children yet, but he is very much considered our kid. This is the latest image I shot of him, and I have to say that it my favorite to date. He definitely gets the attention of the lens more than anything. Although a tad camera shy at times, he is incredibly photogenic. Here he is waiting by our sliding glass door anxious to go outside. He loves running through the backyard, fetching the flying disc, playing with his best friend and neighbor, Chunk—the golden lab also seen in the gallery—and chasing rabbits and squirrels. These are the real deal puppy dog eyes that he gives us every day, so you can only imagine that he is the most spoiled pup you could ever meet.
I shot this picture with my brand new Sony FE 70–300mm f/4.5–5.6 G OSS Lens that I purchased for my Sony A6000. We were headed outside to give it a test, but I had to snag this shot before we hit the grass. So far, I am incredibly excited about it. I needed a new zoom lens for shooting concerts, especially festival shows where location can be a bit difficult. I also needed something that would give me more light at a greater distance. Although the zoom options for this camera are a bit limited at the moment, I think this lens will serve me well. At first it seemed a bit cumbersome for the body, but it became comfortable to use quite quickly. Sharpness at this point seems amazing. Definitely stay tuned though, I will share more as I put it to use.
