Sleepy Dog

I metered the dog and then went under a stop or two to get detail on the black fur.

Great job on the metering. Thats a hard shot to get right. I like the picture also. Nice placement for the dog.

The expression on his face is great! I recently did a little photoshoot with my best friend's new puppy...haven't gotten them developed yet, but if I get any good ones I'll post em!

oh my
thats one of the best pet shots ive seen in a long time

Awsome. You managed to capture all that detail in the dog's dark dark coat. Nice!

 

[Osmer_Toby]

excellent job, dude. black dogs are a bi--- to get right (no pun intended, or maybe so, for mr.sid) because they swallow light.

great expression!

If you are anywhere around here...they just studded out this guy to another purebred lab. Should be some cute puppies in a few months.

Is it photoshoped out and on a different back ground? What did it look like before it was croped out? And what is that back ground?

 

[Big Mike]

No that's pretty much how the print looks. The dog is laying on cement and up against a stucco wall. To get the dog's detail, I had to let the background be completely blown out.

I did bracket this shot and the other ones have much more background detail but a grey dog.
