  • Christmas hats and collars are pretty much a given.

  • Another Christmas light photo with Spring.
    M_Kloth_Christmas_6916.jpg
  • Spring is almost always ready to pose for photos.  The Christmas lights draped over her body might be the exception.

  • The TMC campus has a walking path around the hospital grounds that is about two miles long.  They have some really nice seating areas just off of those paths for their patients, staff, and guests.  This seating area is near the main entrance.  I like the way the landscaping lights illuminate the pavilion and the central saguaro (with a Santa hat!).  Again, I used a tripod that was low to the ground.

  • A slightly different angle from the previous photo.  It's always a good idea to move around after taking the initial photo to see if there might be a better composition.  I think the previous composition is a bit stronger than this one.

  • This week's throwback gallery features some of my earliest work with both my dogs and some adoptable and client animals.  This cat was photographed while she was waiting for adoption at the Woodford Humane Society in Versailles, KY.

  • And Maebe being super cute.

  • This photo (also at TMC) was taken with the tripod set low to the ground to emphasize the luminaries.  I used a wide angle lens to emphasize the one point perspective (the path appears to narrow as it leads away from the camera).  I like the composition and the lights on the bridge in the distance.

  • A super chill cat from Woodford Humane Society.
    M_Kloth_Christmas_7873.jpg
  • Lyle looking super guapo and YOUNG!
    M_Kloth_Christmas_7621.jpg
  • I photographed this pup for one of my clients.  I like this guy's terrier attitude.
    M_Kloth_Christmas_8494.jpg
  • I think this might be the only doxie I've ever photographed for a rescue.  He was photographed at Woodford Humane Society.
    M_Kloth_Christmas_8103.jpg
  • We've included props over the years.
    M_Kloth_Christmas_7485.jpg
  • I'll finish up this week with my hounds.  Lyle being super handsome.
    M_Kloth_Christmas_6887.jpg
  • As are antlers.

  • You can tell Lyle loves his Santa hat.

  • I gave you a sneak peek of this photo last week.  Tucson Medical Center (TMC) goes all out with their holiday decorations.  This photo was made using a long exposure (30 seconds) on a tripod.  I stopped the lens down (small aperture) to f/14 so that the lights would have a star burst effect.  I think that effect is nice for many night images but especially for holiday decorations.

  • This image was made behind the hospital.  The white rope lighting that tops the fence around the community garden is a bit too bright in this image.  It commands too much attention in the frame (the brightest object usually does) and it should not be the main focus of the image.  This image was also made with the camera on a tripod (though about 5 feet off of the ground) with a relatively small aperture setting to give the star burst effect.

  • Spring actually gets a little full of herself after a modeling session.  If there was such a thing as supermodels in the canine world then that would be Spring's profession.
    M_Kloth_dog_3613.jpg
  • Spring looks good in red.
    M_Kloth_dog_3587.jpg
  • Which isn't to say that Spring doesn't REALLY like the treats too.
    M_Kloth_dog_3561.jpg
  • Because every self respecting terrier loves food.  (Or at least that's been my experience.)
    M_Kloth_dog_3580.jpg
  • The grrrls were (mostly) happy to model for me even though we sometimes made them wear things that they'd rather not wear.  Mostly they prefer to go through life nekkid.
    M_Kloth_dog_3529.jpg
  • Spring on the other paw, LOVES to model for me.
    M_Kloth_dog_3542.jpg
  • At the homeowner's suggestion, I then went to a third location.  I mention that only because it emphasizes the point that sometimes two heads are better than one.  This image was taken from a higher vantage point with a telephoto lens.  I wouldn't have thought about the position without the suggestion but it is my favorite because it not only includes their decorations, but it also includes a view of Tucson at night in the background which provides a very nice backdrop to their home.

  • Photographed as we enjoyed the holiday displays in the Winterhaven neighborhood.  I asked Robin to pose in front of the candy cane lights.  This is the only image made with a hand held camera this week.  I needed to increase the ISO setting to ISO 2000 and opened my aperture to f/3.2.  This allowed me to have a 1/60 sec exposure which was fast enough to ensure a sharp exposure.  I also used a small LED light panel to illuminate Robin otherwise she would have been too dark in the frame.<br />
<br />
I like this one (of course!) because it is a picture of my sweetie but also because I like the repeating candy canes through the frame on a diagonal.

  • The last few images show the decorations on the home of some friends.  I used a tripod for each.  Because there was a pretty big difference between the brightest and dimmest lights in the scene, I actually made several images of varying shutter speed lengths with the camera on a tripod.  Two of those images were then combined in Photoshop so that the overall lighting in the composition was a bit more balanced.
    M_Kloth_Grogg_4632.jpg
  • After making the initial exposures, I moved to a new location and switched from a wide angle lens to a medium telephoto to give a second composition.  Again, multiple exposures were combined for this final image.

  • Surprisingly, I've had some pretty good luck in dressing up cats.  This cat was also at Woodford Humane Society.
