I spotted this lovely chap working through my local park with his owner. His name is Geoff he is a real gentle giant. I have always had a soft spot for GSD so approached the owner and asked if she would allow me to shoot at a later date in exchange for a 16x12 print, and left her with a card to my website so she could think about it and let me know. Thankfully she got back to me the following day and a date was set to photograph Geoff at his home.Editing

Take your time balance the ambient light for the effect you want, and take plenty of dog treats!!! Placing treats on top of lens will help keep dogs attention.
