Action Tuesday – Dog Frisbee

Dog Frisbee, originally uploaded by anthonli.

This is a demonstration of Dog Frisbee by Dexter, one of the trainers of PUPS.

It was a hot day and the dog was visibly tired, but still, it put on a good show. This is one game I’d love to try. Too bad, I don’t own a dog.

People Monday – Agility Teamwork with Best Friend

When taking pictures of dog agility, I like to take such scenes.

The solo dog is spectacular in its own right, just like the hurdle picture last Tuesday, but this, I think brings out the essence of agility. It’s not just the dog, but the interaction between dog and owner. It’s not just a doggie sport, but a team action.

I seem to have said all of this before. Hmm…

Rainbow at Alexandra

Even in the middle of a busy day, some opportunities are too precious to miss. Such as this beautiful double rainbow beckoning right outside my office cubicle window.

Amazingly, this rainbow is almost a complete circle and unfortunately, my LX3 is with my friend.

Better to have a picture then none at all, so out came my iPhone and viola, a picture to share.

I’ve also taken the opportunity to try out the HDR for Free filter, and other than the grainy effects, it does bring out quite a bit of the shadowed areas and the HDR effect is also evident.

Wildlife Wednesday – Thirsty? Drinking Fountain!

Thirsty? Drinking Fountain!, originally uploaded by anthonli.

It’s not everyday that birds think that you’re not intimidating and act themselves directly in front of you.

But then, these two sparrows could be just desperate for a drink. One would take a sip while the other keeps watch, then they would swap. All the while, I was standing right in front of them, so close that I had to lean back just to grab this shot (that’s about a metre away)!

This was taken at Hibiya Park, Tokyo, right beside the Imperial Palace.

Action Tuesday – The Hurdle

I like this picture. It has a very three-dimensional feel to it, almost as if the dog is jumping out of the picture itself.

This is taken on RustiRun’s demonstration by PUPS on Sunday, 24 Jan on East Coast Park. I’ll be putting more choice pics from this event in the upcoming Action Tuesdays! Watch out for them.
