All the pics were postprocessed in Photoshop (after calibrating them to the right colorspace, necessary for my cam). I had to scale them down (obviously), adjusted levels and applied a hint of unsharp mask. Equipment : Minolta Dimage 5 in manual mode. I can give you the stats for the originals, but i don't know if they are at all relevant since i tinkered with the photo's. Time of day : afternoon, bright and sunny, no flash. Can't use a tripod when photographing this hyperactive little dog... Shutter speed should have been sufficient to avoid handshake (1/181). If you like, you can play around with them in PS; i'd like to know how to improve these shots in postprocess. I can post an original if you like (scaled down to 800 x 600).
