There ought to be an award for getting the dog to sit that still long enough to take the picture. Drool? Was there a treat involved?

Behind The Lens

Location

This lovely photo was taken in our backyard when we lived in Idaho. I had taken a similar photo of Wyatt when he was a pup and really wanted to revisit the shot. This time I held a treat in one hand to get him to sit still and so I could capture the perfect expression.

Time

I believe this was taken in the early afternoon in early December of 2013.

Lighting

All natural light on a wonderful snowy day!

Equipment

Fujifilm hs30exr Focal length 10.5mm Aperture f/3.6 Shutter speed 1/58 ISO 125 WB auto

Inspiration

I had taken a similar photo of Wyatt in 2009 and wanted to try it again when he was older. By that time, Wyatt had become a drooler when treats were offered..which added the perfect touch to this beautiful portrait

Editing

Brightened his eyes, adjusted shadows and brightness.

In my camera bag

I'm currently using just a Samsung Galaxy S5. No fancy gear.

Feedback

Always look....always pay attention to moments....and use treats
