A worms eye view of Ruby our Whippet

Well not exactly a worms eye view.

This is Phil with is little Panasonic TZ7 sat on the steps leading up to our lawn wiggling one of Ruby's little fluffy toys.

The harsh sunlight from the right hand side has cast a shadow on the right hand side of Ruby's face.

I've adjusted the shadows / highlights in photoshop elements to bring the detail back (but it's still not quite right).

Anyway I like the angle, the positioning and Ruby's ears dangling forward as she looks down at her fluffy !!

For those of you who don't know, Ruby is my little photographers assistant, she's often by my side as I shoot one handed 'urban pictures' (lead in the other hand). She's sat next to me now, keeping one eye on my browsing content ,one eye on the football on the TV and ears and nose alert for any other 'exciting things' that might happen ....'exciting things'?...yes well I might open a packet of crisps (chips to US readers) !

I can just hear her asking, "Does this make my ears look too big?" Great angle and perspective.

Ha, good to hear you scrambling about on the floor to get shots.
Cool eyes and ears shot.

LOL! Ruby, you're a beauty! Lovely shot, Phil! I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, but this pic made me think of it! For Ruby! Enjoy! LOL! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EJGZt3X6uU

@marlboromaam thank you Maggie :)

I do sometimes sing that song to her when I am chasing her around the lounge !!!!

I sometimes sing 'Ruby' by the Kaiser Chiefs.......In fact the Kaiser Chiefs song was what made us choose her name...it was playing on the radio when we drove out of the 'Dogs Trust Rescue' centre the day we decided to 'rescue' her :)

@phil_howcroft Very nice song, Phil! Certainly much more current.

[Pat Knowles]

Fabulous angle you caught Ruby at here !!! She looks so alert & just waiting to see if any thing moves !!! Massive ears but don't tell her I said that !

[Steve Hollingsworth]

cool shot indeed Phil

[Constance Brinkley]

This is the best perspective. Quite clever on your set up to get this POV. Well done and this is a fav for me.

[Taephy]

oh i love this shot and she does look as though she has spotted something there!

[Sue Wilde]

Oh! What a great perspective!

[Judith Greenwood]

Not so much bobbing down as bobbing up then!! I tried commenting on this last night but the comment wouldn't 'stick'. I love this - those ears are magnificent!!

[andy c]

[Anita]

Aww this is great. Ruby is such a good model and assistant!

[Phil Howcroft]

[Phil Howcroft]

[Juliette Packham]

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

Another (one-handed) whippet owner! Great picture. Recognise that intent expression! Following!

[Phil Howcroft]

@tishpics thank you patricia, whippet eyes always 'get you' :)

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

@phil_howcroft Thank you for your nice comments, hope to see more of Ruby from time to time

[ann]

I know that look! When I work on my computer I look up to see Daisy on the steps looking down at me just like Ruby is doing. The look is so endearing!

[Phil Howcroft]

@tishpics thank you patricia, ruby featured quite a few times in my first year on 365, if you click on the month by month view you will see her pretty face and lovely eyes quite a bit....we rescued her in March 2011 from the Dogs Trust (so we've had her 1 year now !!)

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

@phil_howcroft thanks, I will certainly look!

[Keith Richards]

Love this photo - nice one!
