I had planned for a bit more shooting than I actually did today, but it was just so ridiculously cold! Hence, not much experimenting/creativity for the #creative366project …

I resumed taichi lessons again today, after a hiatus of over 2 months (I'm already sore… ouch). At the park where we do the lessons, there's almost always a trio of Akita inu being walked by their owner and a band of his friends/helpers.

This shot is of the oldest Akita – a male named Waka. I've never petted him because the owner always insists that Waka does not take kindly to strangers, unlike the other two dogs. I've never insisted on trying to pet him, but I've always thought he looks like a cuddly bear – and in fact have used his image for my profile photo (^^;

I'll try to get good shots of the other two Akita in the coming weeks.

Oh – and once again, used the X10. Really… once you get used to a fast lens, it's a bit hard to go back, particularly when you're trying to do portrait-type shots… (>_<;

Good night all!
