Location
I took this photo while on a family outing. My son had just adopted this puppy from the Humane Society SPCA of Bexar County, Tx. My son was feeling left out and he sat down and put one arm around Zeus. As you can see Zeus is mighty although he was small. He gave the comfort that was much needed.Time
This was taken in the a.m.Lighting
You can tell from the lighting that this was taken in natural light.Equipment
I had a Canon pocket size camera.Inspiration
This scene warmed my heart. My son was feeling left out, tired and down. He put Zeus on his lap. This scene shows the strength of the human/animal bond and how comforting a pet can be. Although just a puppy. Zeus seemed to understand his human companion needed comforting.Editing
The only post-processing I did was make it a black/white photo rather than color. I felt it had a more dramatic effect.In my camera bag
That has changed since this picture. That picture inspired me to delve into photography more.Feedback
This was a matter of being in the right place at the right time. It was strictly a candid shot in the late afternoon. We were buy a swimming hole fed from a larger lake further up from us. There were large trees but the right amount of light was coming through when I took this picture.
