Pet Photography For Fun And Profit, Tips
Contrary as it may seem, its not always helpful to have the owner within sight. Pets usually try to get the owner to 聯save聰 them from their predicament, and that makes things very difficult for the photographer. Its a good idea to have the dogs take a little bathroom break before the shoot. Dogs are fun to photograph. I often get asked, "How do you make the dog stay in one place?" Actually, they usually DON'T stay still. The fast shutter speed just makes it APPEAR that they were sitting still! It can take a lot of shots to get a few good ones, sometimes. To photograph dogs properly, you need to understand dog behavior. Dogs don't really understand human language. If you want to communicate with a dog, it's much more effective to do it on it's own terms. Sounds ( other than words ), and especially TOUCH, works well. Body language, both yours and the dogs, is also very important.
The GM quickly said the right thing and killed my pay raise. He said "We are not going to be the jack of all trades, we service only sports cars, and European ones at that, we are not advertising Bentley or Land Rover". While this may sound strange to some people, this is where the 80/20 rule kicks in. The service manager is trying to get all the business and the GM is trying to get the right business. Every time I coach a small business owner, their financial issues are fixed by simply changing their focus to getting the right business. If you can do 80% of the work that you are doing now, and get a pay raise would you do it? Of course the answer is yes, so why don't you? What happens in business is simple. Business people cater to the customer, sometimes too much. In doing so they start doing work they shouldn't. Accounting systems don't always show that the business is losing money on a specific type of customer.
The Range Rover has set a high bar for luxury SUVs. It was one of the first of its kind and few can compete with its ability to go anywhere, any time, in any weather in a leather-lined interior. Introduced for the 2013 model year, the current Range Rover has aged with grace, but it is aging as new competition arrives in the form of Bentayga and Cullinan. For 2018, Land Rover has given the Range Rover a tech overhaul with a handful of screens inside the cabin, a few updates on the exterior, and more luxury options than ever before. I spent a long weekend with the updated luxury liner to see if those changes spoiled the serene mood鈥攊f they were more tech overload than tech overhaul. The Range Rover has elegant, even minimalist style, compared to the Bentley and Rolls SUVs, but it鈥檚 a look that has needed almost no updates.
With three rounds of the Britpart MSA British Cross Country Championship complete the title race will move to Radnor forest next weekend for round four. Martin Cox heads the leaderboard at the halfway point on 235 points, just 10 ahead of Paul Myers. Cox鈥檚 lead could鈥檝e been a lot more if a broken throttle cable on the final run had not dropped him down the results at the previous round in South West Scotland. 鈥淲e鈥檝e made no changes to the car after Scotland, we鈥檝e just done the usual checking and swapping of ball joints as well as sorting out a bent steering rod we suffered after hitting a large rock,鈥?said Myers. 鈥淲e were very pleased with the round three result as we lost a lot of time on one run with two punctures. Other than that we had a great event, with our Cooper ST Maxx tyres performing and wearing well.
This time it was a great day for me. I could only expend Saturday, but hey, that is more than not going at all. Weather was great, a little cool, which helps in the beach. The Land Rover performed flawlessly all the time, I am very happy with the way this truck has turned out after some little adjustments, I am even getting 16.5 MPG on the freeway after cleaning the intake! As I always do, I managed to get stuck in the stupidest of places, as I was coming up a dune, I dig enough to make the axles and the body stand on sand, so no love for me. So, a great day in the sand, that took the bitter taste of last year after the RRC problems. Although this time we had some of them (Transmission gone, Axle broken, some popped beads) I think we managed to have a great time and hang out with a bunch of nice people.
