Occupational Hazard

An occupational hazzard associated with being the official photographer for the RSPCA WA! This little guy’s sole agenda was to jump at me and latch onto whatever he could. In this case it was the leg of my jeans, but he also had a good chew on my hand, camera strap and even a 50mm lens!

This puppy was re-homed the day this shot was taken.

Profit portion of any sales will go to the RSPCA WA.

Taken with a Canon 5D and 50mm prime lens @ f1.8, ISO 1000, 1/400th sec, handheld.

Featured in Canon DSLR Group Feb 2009. Featured in Workshop Camera Club June 2009.

Placed in top 10 (9th) in Paws ‘n’ claws Dog Profile Challenge, August 2009.

    Are you a contortionist? How did you get this dog with your own leg in the photo? You have the camera that my partner is nagging me to buy but his 400D is less than two years old. I told him he can buy it if he shows me how to use the camera we have now. Great Shot, Good Luck in the Challenge.
