Location

I was out walking on the dirt roads by my house and I always carry my Camera. I live in Northern Arizona so there are a lot of dirt roads. I was passing this house when I noticed a couple getting ready to walk there dog so I asked If I could take some pictures. They said yes so I took about 5 shots and showed them the photos.They smiled and pointed at the photos while I watched the pride show in in there faces of there dog . I think as photographers we look at so many photos, we forget what It is like seeing a photo you just watched someone take for the first time.One of the times I was really glad I had my camera with the 70 macro on It.

Time

It was a quiet morning in the spring time.

Lighting

Early morning Light

Equipment

Sony A65V and my Sony 18-135

Inspiration

First the eyes and also I had never seen a Husky in the Desert

Editing

ON1 Perfect B&W Effects to convert to B&W and keep the eyes and then Light Room 5 to tweak It some . Finished up with Elements to convert It to JPEG

In my camera bag

Since most of the time I am just taking a walk , I have my Sony A65 and either a sigma 70 macro 2.8or my Sony 18 to 135 . I love the 70 macro, It can be used in so many different ways.If I am going to do landscapes, I take my Sony 24 and 50 1.8 and my Tamron 180 macro just in case.For the last year I have been relying on a tripod because of my hands shaking , so It goes everywhere with me now.

Feedback

Always make sure you get the eyes in sharp focus and be friendly to the people you meet . Make sure you show them the photo and also give them a print of It. You may want to take some more shots one day so be nice.
