The Vizsla

Canon 7D Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 ISO 400 1/4000 f/4.0

Another moment during a day of when I was photographing wildlife. A gentleman was walking his Vizsla, the smallest of the pointer/retriever breeds, though its size is 22 to 25 inches at the shoulder and weighing about 45 to 60 lbs.

All natural lighting no modifiers, photographed at about 10 am in the morning. A portrait position, not often seen, worked well for this moment.

When I photograph pets whether it be for fun or during a photo session, it's moments like these that make the shot. A dog at play is less stressful both on the photographer and subject. A posed photograph is nice, but, an action photograph tells it like it is. All natural light, this is called "Backlighting"

My good friend, Kate Edson, invited me to do a family portrait session which included her pets. Kate's daughter and "Molson" a Border Collie/Chocolate Lab mix made great subjects that day. A special moment captured, naturally. All natural light, no flash or modifiers used.
