This is a shot of the DH Day Barns within the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. My first attempt at shooting the stars. This is in our backyard. Fun with food. Lake of the Clouds is in the Porcupine Mountains in the western part of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The clouds were pretty thick that morni... Puppies on a Log Crystal Mountain Ski Racing

Behind The Lens

Location
I shot this near the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. There are lots of different places to shoot these cute pups in that area.
Time
If I remember correctly this was shot in the late morning.
Lighting
Nothing special about the lighting other than it was a beautiful clear sunny day!
Equipment
This was shot with my Nikon D3 and my Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. No strobes or fill flash.
Inspiration
My daughter and her husband wanted to get some shots of their litter of Bassets before they got too big. So we took a little jaunt near where they live to see if we could get some nice shots of these little guys.
Editing
With these guys I really didn't need to do much post-processing other than to perhaps open up the shadows a little.
In my camera bag
My camera bag holds my Nikon D3 and an assortment of Nikkor lenses. I also keep extra Li-ion batteries for my camera and a handful of AA batteries. There is also a cloth to clean lenses and protective filters and a few granola bars just in case.
Feedback
With this shot the biggest thing you need is patience and a couple extra pairs of hands to wrangle the pups. I tried to find poses for them that made it harder for them to just run right away. So, when we got them in to place I had to shoot quick because they would only be there a few seconds at most. In the end it is worth the wait and patience.
