Behind The Lens

Location

This is an action shot of my dog called Neo, (a portuguese waterdog) was taken during a walk in the fields nearby my home in Austria. He truly enjoys running offleash and when i recall him he is always running full speed towards me, so that was the moment i took this photo....

Time

It was more in the evening of a hot summer day.

Lighting

As Neo`s fur is dark black i always avoid taking photos in full sunlight, so most of the time i use the much softer light in the evening or morning

Equipment

I have a canon eos 80d, set at single af-spot with backbuttonfocus. Settings for this image: iso200, f2/2, 1/1000s with a 85mm f1/8 lens

Inspiration

I truly love taking photos of my dog that show his personality, his power and energy.

Editing

My workflow is pretty much simple, shooting in raw, basic-settings like whitebalance, clarity, balancing out his black fur, a bit of enhancing his eyes or brightening up his face to get attention to him are done in lightroom, finalize in photoshop.

In my camera bag

...just one 30mm wideangle lens

Feedback

...have fun with the dog, don`t force anything, be patient, set your cam on burst mode and get down really low for shooting.
