Helpful Posts: Gina is a tiny nine-week old Maltese-Poodle-Chihuahua mix who just won't stay still for a moment. Also it is impossible to attract her with the normal squeak toys or treats. We needed a decent portrait of Gina to send to a prospective adopter and ended up with this one which is pretty decent and indicative of what she looks like...
This is how we got the shot we needed.
Canon 7D, 70-200mm f/4L IS at 70mm. ISO 160, 1/60 second @ f/4. Hotshoe mounted Canon 420EX bounced off the ceiling and modified with a Joe Demb Flash Diffuser Pro...

Re: Trouble with Gina
It works for me and I am not a small dog lover. A very appealing shot.

Cute pup, should be easy to see her on her next journey.

Re: Trouble with Gina
She is so tiny and cute, I have to say that I prefer the second shot because of the sense of scale

Re: Trouble with Gina
I was thinking that the hand did show the scale. I did this one to try to show the scale...

Here are a few more of Gina...
Gina has left our home to stay with a Maltese Rescue volunteer in the Los Angeles area where her new furever mom will soon meet her.
Gina's mom, Abbie, has been spayed and her dental work done. When the mom was around Gina, she was extremely protective. When we first received mom and Gina, neither Judy or I could get near mom or her puppy. She would snarl and try to bite either of us.
We virtually gave Abbie and Gina their own room for quiet and security. After a short time (that seemed like an eternity) the mom would let us touch her and also touch Gina. However, she would try to attack any other person or dog that got near her puppy.
When I brought the Abbie home from the vet, she was tired and groggy. Judy had taken Gina to Los Angeles while the mom was at the vet. The mom didn't seem to miss her puppy when she arrived home...
Abbie is really a darling girl when she doesn't feel the need to protect Gina. We wonder what happened to mom and daughter before we got them. I suspect that they were mistreated...Last edited by rpcrowe; 14th December 2014 at 05:46 PM.

The hand is by far the best thing to judge scale Richard, since I have no idea how big (or small) those objects might be. Originally Posted by rpcrowe

Gina is very cute
