This is Jim – my son’s dog. He is a photogenic brown and white collie cross who rarely keeps still so it is a challenge to take his picture. These images are shot with my iPhone6 and the ‘live feature’ captures a brief sequence of shots, allowing me to select one where at least he is within frame.
Jim is renowned for his long tongue – it is his signature feature.
For the Lens Artist’s Photo Challenge: Candid – because I do not like taking up front and personal photos of people without consent

Ha ha. Great shots.
thanks John
Haha, love these – what great shots, and what a lovely Jim! Indeed his tongue is remarkable as well…
My oldest guy, Totti also has got a long tongue. He has sliced it a couple of times when playing with other dogs. The thing is that they bleed heavily then.
the tongue emerges mostly with treats and eats! thanks for the prompt Leya
You have to be fast to capture him! Great candid shots, Laura.
the iPhone feature really helps with subjects like Jim!
What a sweet dog!
a sweet nature too ❤
Love all your photos of Jim. Quite the handsome dog. ❤
many thanks Olga- he has a quirky charm
These are great. I’m also not a fan of taking shots of people without their knowledge, so I went with statues for my response 🙂
What a good idea!
No model release required lol
You caught his personality perfectly Laura!
and candidly 😉 thank you Tina
