Location
This photo was taken in our home on top of the love seat which is one of her favorite spots.~ I am a self taught photographer and receive great pleasure in capturing the moment.Time
Probably taken around 1pm or later ~ natural light surrounds our living space as we have large windows and southern exposure ~Lighting
Natural lighting which is what I prefer.Equipment
Nikon ~ regular lens, no tripod, no flash ~ just 'straight out of the camera' ~Inspiration
Love inspired me to take this photo ~ She looked so content and eyes were filled with love looking at me ~ As a mystery writer, Robert Crais wrote in Suspect ~ his police dog (actually trained previously in Afghanistan by military man who died with dog watching) they considered each other as 'pack' and this is how I feel about my dog and think she feels about me ~ I protect her and she protects me because we love each other.Editing
No 'straight out of the camera' as most of my photography is ~ do some editing or adding to some creative photos and I tend to do well with black and white and rarely edit.In my camera bag
My camera, batteries, memory cards ~ tend to travel light ~Feedback
Patience and a good eye. As with children also, it is important that animals (my dog) feels comfortable with the camera pointing at her and that a 'flash' is not going to go off in her eyes. So patience in waiting for 'the shot' and patience with self and the dog.
