I didn't have the best day yesterday, but my walk with Spence at the end of the day made up for it. It was late afternoon and the light filtering through the pine trees at the park was fantastic. This photo is definitely a new favourite.

And another shot that will be included in Spencer's book.

I love using back lighting to photograph Spence. It shows off his nice lean body shape better than front lighting and makes his feathers glow.

I know, I know. This post is late. I wish I could say the wait was worth it, but um, it would be a lie. 'Tis just a snapshot from Saturday before last when I saw Spence lying in the tiny sunpatch by the front door.

Ahahaha!

If looks could kill Steve would be busily consuming my body and this post would be non-existent. Fortunately they can't kill, they can only say "I'll get you for this, Human!".

I'm a little bit in love with this photo. The vibrant colours, the expression on Spencer's face (apparently lounging around on the couch is a Very Serious Business), his paws hanging over the edge... And Spence is obviously getting good at this modelling thing. I orginally had him sitting up in the middle of the couch, but during the shoot he decided to move over and lie down. So I can't really take any credit for the framing in this photo. Spence followed the Rule of Thirds all by himself. Clever boy!

The other funny thing is Spence isn't actually allowed on the couch, but after I'd finished taking photos he decided that he IS allowed on the couch now. I let him sleep on it during the afternoon, but we got busted tonight when mum was sitting on the couch and Spence hopped up next to her. Oops. After she ordered him off he disappeared for awhile before coming back with her phone in his mouth which he delivered to her. What a suck!

I've been working every day this week which means I haven't really had time to do a proper photo session with Spence. Such a shame cos we've had some great weather. I finished work early today and managed a quick 10 minute shoot before the rain clouds rolled in. Hopefully I have more time next week to be a bit more creative.
