Picture Palooza!

Jenn  ·  Dec. 3, 2010

I had to go and buy an external hardrive to store all of my SAINTS pics because my computer's harddrive was full but I also got a new lense for my Cannon EOS XT, its a 50mm and it is great for portrait shots ... of animals and people like these:

But mostly I got the new little lense because it allows me to get better pics of the animals indoor without using a flash. I am very very please with the result I hope you are too. I have even ventured to upload some of my pics to SAINTS Flicker account.

Here is one of the new guys from LA, Alf looking good in red!

and Jesse too looks good in Red

and Hilga is looking good in hot pink (her eye is looking a lot better).
Photobucket

Andy does not need a jacket with all THAT hair (and we would never to be able to get one on him willingly anyway).
Photobucket

Bambi is really becoming one of my favorites. She is just too cute with that tongue and when she gets her happy bounces before feeding.
Photobucket

Here she is naping on a Kuranda with Hootie.

Not AS cute as Bambi 1 is ... Bambi 2
Photobucket

Al and Roxy are bothing wanting me to throw their tenis balls ... but I would rather take pictures. They will not take no for an answer
Photobucket

haha and here is the funny moment of the day. Daphne found a ball frozen in ice and had to have it. Not another ball, the one trapped in ice ...
PhotobucketPhotobucket

and later she was barking at me to throw the ball ...

and then when I finally did throw the ball she decided she woud rather roll around ...

By the way, doesn't she look darling in her little purple coat?
Photobucket

and then Esther was barking for a cookie(s) (as always)

I can't recall what Bibi was barking about but I think it had someting to do with Pheobe (his arch nemisis). My new lense did a fantastic job capturing the moment.

Pheobe was being her usual spastic self with a stick ..

In contrast, Bonita is the picture of calm and collected.

Dee kept herself busy with the red toy again.

Ashley bathed the dogs. Merry and mandy were looking extra fluffy after their wash and blow dry

I also managed to get a great shot of tex and rose because I was able to take it through the wire ...
Photobucket

and at the end of the day everyone was snuggled together happy and content but waitng for Carol to spend sometimes with them after a hard days work.

I have to say that cuties of week goes to Tinya Fey ... she is just sooooo cute (reminds of Daphne quite a bit).

wendy

Mo

Every time i look at these (which is about 50 times so far ) i have new favorites.. so they are all my favorites

Jenn,Great photo's..My votes would be Carl Elliot and his under bite,plus Andy Cap,he let me touch him twice but not a third.The "Cap" comes from the cartoon in the Sun paper around late sixty's,seventies,Andy Cap would be stationed at the bar seedy looking cap low over his eyes scruffy hair,fag hanging from his lips slagging off his wife Flo..Your camera is that the broken one fixed or totaly new one ..May I ask where it was bought.I was impressed with the open mouthed cat one,Hope to do as well myself one day.Cathie K

Thanks everyone I did try to get a shot of reggie he was on the morning field run but he too busy running around screaming his head off and I got one of perdy but it was not stellar enough I will try to get one of her tomorrow when I am up. The lens I got was the 1.8 and its very affordable. The only thing is it is not good for wide shots just portrait really but I am pleased with my purchase.

roff

GREAT photos Jenn, thank you! I think it takes more than a new lens to create good photos.

Linda de J.

I also need to mention Bonita. What a soulful being. I hope Bonita will have all his wishes come true.

Jenn,

The pictures are fantastic. I love that you did this what a tribute to these amazing little beings. Thank you!!!
I love them all, love them all. I guess the little guys that stands out most for me in these picutes are Daphne and Mary, but I was also looking for Reggie. Where's Reggie? Probably in the office, eh?

Carol

if 3 of your 4 dogs end up with cushings.......
i am sending you little big bud..just because i can.

hey did you get my message about arranging for that that old northern dog to fly in???

nicolemc

Carol, just an FYI/laugh: Jenny has cushings!!! And Taz/Maggie's cholesterol is really high so I'll be testing her for it later aswell. what are the odds!

sheila

Okay - I read your words Jenn - looked at the pictures and went out and bought the same lens as you (the 1.8)
there was some knd of camera nut next to me and said that the 1.8 was better than a $1,000 lens from any other manufacturere. The photogorapher for my santa has a shooting possibly tomorrow and so I have the pictures so I didn't want to look like a dork.

Your pictures Jenn and the comments about the lens on line sold me.

Emma

Tina Fey reminds me of ex Saint Tom. Don't let Tammy see Phoebe outside without a coat on! Really enjoyed the pics as I don't come out as often as I'd like.

Liana

how could you pick a fave from those pics, they are all sooooo adorable. Great job!!!

Shelley

I love Love LOVE that you posted these on the flickr site!

Anyone else who wants to post their photos or videos of SAINTS on there is welcome to...

You got a 50mm... hmmmm... 1.8 or did you go insane and get the 1.4?

Tracy

Jenn,
Love, love, love all the beautiful pictures you take at Saints. Thank you! They help me (big time lurker!) put a face to all the wonderful Saints residents that your mom blogs about each day. Keep 'em coming.

Carol Ann

OMG Jenn you really outdid yourself. these pictures are fantastic. You really should make a calendar. Love them all but the pic of Mo and Kia is very special and you really captured Bibi's feelings. But pick a favorite --impossible. Thank you I love pics of all the guys and girls. :) You did save the best for last.

colleen b

Oh Larry's still my fav of course. But these pictures made me smile, Jenn...thanks!
