My daughters having a gripping discussion.

In Antarctica, an emperor penguin and his-her chick commune on pack ice with icebergs.

People climb these very high dunes at sunrise. It's WAY too hot later. The sand colors are fantastic.

An orchestra rehearsal for a folk dance performance

IN the Namib desert, this jeep track seems to go no where.

This butterfly is part of a large migration...and she has such a cute face!

This little girl stood in a high wind which made her adorably messy hair a bit messier.

In the early morning at Lake Nakuru, Kenya, the mist obscured the lake very photogenically

Icelandic beach of black sand, with footprints going nowhere

Sometimes, even if the game is lousy, Denver skies try to make up for it. This is a photo of a fabulous sunset from Mile High stadium. It is not reto

Namibia has the only herd of desert elephants. These elephants have some very unique learned behavior. This mother was guarding her VERY new baby.

This little guy was just trucking along the Namibian desert, leaving a fabulous trail.

This Newfoundland puffin colony is located on a cliff, overlooking the sea. This little guy was looking for a good landing spot on the cliff.

At a waterhole, this impala young one took off at a dead run, being chased by an irate bird (the bird didn't catch him)

In Buenos Aires, this bird had absolutely no regard for the religious statue.

At a Namibian water hole, this young elephant hugged a younger one. A definite AAWWW moment

Chasing a puppy around a tree can be fun but trying to photograph that puppy is sometimes annoying.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in the photography studio of the animal shelter I work in.

Time

This was taken in the afternoon but with studio lights so the time was not an issue

Lighting

Just standard studio lights with reflectors

Equipment

Nikon 5100 with an 18-55 mm Nikor lens. That and a lot of doggie cookies and a squeaker to get their attention...an absolute must for taking dog photos.

Inspiration

I had just gotten my 4th dog...a sweet little old lady dachshund (17 years old) and wanted to get a picture of all 4 of my pups.

Editing

Just a bit of cropping and Photo Shop removal of their leashes.

In my camera bag

Nikon D5100 and/or a D5500, several lenses, tons of lens wipes (puppy kisses on the lens is a standard occurrence), squeaker, lens caps, extra batteries and SD cards, a remote, and the usual flotsam that accumulates,

Feedback

Take enormous quantities of pictures in burst mode and then sift through them to find the perfect shot, one that captures the animal's personality and make sure you get that goofy, happy look. if you can.
