Thanks @abbeybanister! Our pups have quite the personalities. It's fun to try to capture them on film.

Behind The Lens

Location

At home.

Time

Mid-day.

Lighting

With animals, you can't always get the pose you want in the perfect spot with the perfect light. My suggestion... just keep shooting and keep the camera handy. With the ease of digital photography, the more pictures you take the better your chances are for THAT photo.

Equipment

Canon SX40HS No lenses. No flash. No tripod.

Inspiration

Honestly, my dog. I love it when you can tell an animal is so happy they just act goofy! Being able to capture that moment though can present quite the challenge.

Editing

She's a dark dog on a dark floor, so I lightened the floor some for more contrast and visual interest.

In my camera bag

Not much! Most of the time I only carry an extra battery or two, and my phone as backup.

Feedback

Again, take as many pictures as you can. It doesn't cost a thing. Don't leave your camera packed away. Leave it where it's easily and quickly accessible. You don't want the moment to pass while you're digging for your gear.
