Location
The photo has been taken close to a friend house. She is the owner of Bianca, the subject of this picture.Time
I took this image in the early afternoon while Bianca was taking a walk with the other dogs (including mine).Lighting
I realized how this picture is good while I was reviewing the results of the shooting session. I imagined it B&W before act to transform it. The light of the day, absorbed by the black dog fur, highlights the detailes.Equipment
My Nikon D300 with a standard Nikkor 18-105 - No flash, no tripodInspiration
Bianca is a beautiful Flat Coated Retriever bitch. More than 50% of the final result depends on the subject.Editing
I converted the original picture to B&W and added some minor adjustments on contrast and background.In my camera bag
My Nikon 300, a 18-105, a "cheap" 70-300 and a 70-200 F/2.8 I bought used.Feedback
While taking a picture of a dog always focus on its eyes!
