Elsie and her ball with a hole (Industar N61 Vintage Lens)

I did a shot similar to this last month , Elsie with her red ball.

Well this is the same red ball with a massive "whippet hole", she has removed the squeaker and nibbled a hole. It still rolls OK and is her fave' 'goto' toy

I shot this photo with an Industar N61 vintage Russian lens. It's a stellar lens, a copy of a Zeiss Tessar design and was traditionally attached to a Fed Russian camera , the comrades Leica. Natural light from our lounge window (right hand side of frame )

This is f4, ISO 800 on my Sony A6000 and as you can see the lens is just fabulous, as to is my beautiful model

Ah Elsie, you are a stunner!

@tinley23 thanks Lesley , the photo is very similar to last months , but it is hard not to take her photo when she poses like this

Why do they hate the squeaker so much! Elsie is looking very grown up. She's beautiful.

[Judith Johnson]

Fantastic shot, she's so upright and handsome

[Casablanca]

Her fave is a broken toy, I love that! Classic.

[Mags]

Aww! What a beautiful pose, Elsie!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Why do dogs love to bite holes in their toys ! - perhaps the pleasure of making them their own !

[Corinne C]

Lol, Elsie is so elegant! No doubt this ball is one of her favorite toys :-)

[Allison Williams]

Love this with the bright spot of red and Elsie’s alert pose.

[LManning (Laura)]

She looks rather chuffed with herself, as she should. That lens does a beautiful job.

It is a similar pose to last month but she’s such a photogenic dog it’s nice to see her again.

[Karen]

What a beautiful dog! And yes, that pose is just made for a photograph. I love the ball! 🤩

[Boxplayer]

Beautifully perky.

Fav. Elsie is such a bright and intelligent lady from her looks which you captured handsomely. My daughter was out with friends yesterday evening. Her husband and son at some time decided to go to bed and when she returned home she found a cushion torn to pieces by Snuggles - her corgi.

[Christina]

She looks well pleased with herself!
