Theme 2, More Images needed

I have planned another session today with my niece and nephew and their dog Toby!

I was hoping to go to the park today as well as shooting at the dogs home but the weather is rubbish here so we will be staying indoors.  I am hoping to experiment a little more and in this session take more control of the dog in order to set up a few shots, oppose to simply following the subjects around.  Hopefully in doing this I can be a little more creative and have some variety in the final images chosen for the theme.

As always I will be shooting using RAW files and will be using small F stops (large aperture) to capture a wide depth of field.  I will be using a F/1.8 portrait lens as we will now be shooting in doors in low light conditions.  White balaance will be left on Auto and I will hopefully be able to shoot using an ISO of 100 and wont be adding any flash lighting using only the natural light provided.  I may add light using exposure compensation if required.

The equipment used on today will be as follows:

Sony A230 DSLR
50mm F/1.8 lens
tripod
bean bag
I will also be using the camera's neck strap so that I can be hands free when positioning the dog

In preparation for today I have charged my camera battery fully and have cleared two memory cards so I can shoot as many shots as possible.

In regards to Health & Safety considerations I will take great care when using the tripod to ensure nobody falls over this and my camera bag will be kept out of the way.
