Tired Little Fella....

Posted by Rahul (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) on 30 May 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

This poor little fella was all tired after 3 laps in the dog's race and i caught him huffing and puffing in a corner, his tongue had kinda become 2 inches longer than the usual.

A little jog in the park with Shih Tzu is fine, but whole three long laps kinda killed this little one. He was so cute, i would rather hold him in my arms and run for him, instead of making him run around. :-)

Another great portrait Rahul!!

Hey! I tried shooting last night using aperture priority and what a difference it makes. It's all coming back to me now from when I did shoot that way!! Thanks!!

@Amy: Thanks Amy, and you are welcome. I am sure you know all those techniques, but as usual we tend to forget it, or rather jump out of our pants way far in manual mode. hehehe... At times its worth it to let the camera do a little for us. ;-) And NIKON rocks.

Alexandra from Veszprem, Hungary

He doesn't seems to be sad because he didn't win the race.... I think he rather would be near the beach and he would drink cold martini. Likewise than I. Although I don't have so long tongue.... As yet.... I am joking only pal! =) Anyway very good picture! Simply adorable!

@Alexandra: Hahaha... LOL Alexandra, btw this one was a male... tsk tsk. ;-)

Sarah from Gainesville, United States

Great shot! I think he looks very happily tired and satisfied with himself. As if to say "Yes, I'm tired, but I just ran with the mongrels and am no worse off for it" (said in a very bad Brittish accent <grin>)

30 May 2007 11:04pm

@Sarah: Haha... Sarah, you read him perfectly well. I would agree with your interpretation. Thanks for your lovely comments and kind words of encouragement. Keep tuned a lot more to come in this series. ;-)

priya from Canada
