Category Archives: movement  Most dog photography is of dogs in “pet” mode. The photographer is using a relatively short lens and is interacting directly with the dog while shooting, often keeping the dog’s attention by waving a yummy treat in front of his face. This results in a photo with the dog looking towards the camera with total…  The difference between a good photograph and a great one is often the little “tricks” used in the setup and camera work. I wanted to get a shot of Gavin (GCH CH Lakota’s Hitman Of Cantar) gaiting that would knock your socks off, and since we were near the beautiful beach in Ventura, CA I…  I love photographing dogs outdoors in beautiful settings, but there are some great shots to be had indoors as well. I got this terrific shot of a Basset Hound at an indoor dog show last year. There were lots of spectators and I couldn’t find an open spot next to the ring where I could…  I was going to go forward from the last SHOOT THE DOG post on shutter speed to discuss aperture and how it can affect the look of your photos. But I took some photos at the dog park the other day that are great for illustrating the effects of shutter speed on action photography. Incoming…  In my last post to SHOOT THE DOG, you learned how the exposure meter of your camera works and why it sometimes does a good job of creating a properly exposed photo, while other times it doesn’t. I hope you’ve invested in a gray card to keep in your camera bag – I can’t think…  Hanging out at the dog park yesterday while my puppy burned off some energy, I shot some pictures just for fun. And I learned something about dogs that I didn’t know. Heck, maybe it’s even new to science.

He studied painting in his youth, but in mid-life he became interested in photography and went on to become famous for his candid images of ordinary life, the earliest form of street photography. He was especially fascinated in the camera’s ability…  I was out with my dogs and camera at the dog park yesterday, and there was this very energetic Italian Greyhound racing at top speed from one end of the field to the other, over and over, back and forth. I took lots of shots with a fast shutter speed to freeze the action, and…  The Irish Water Spaniel is one of the lesser known sporting dogs in the US, but those that know the breed understand that dogs can have a sense of humor – for them, life is Disneyland and is meant to be enjoyed every minute. With their curly coat, naked tail, and topknot falling over their…  I just love photographing running dogs, and there’s no better place than at the beach and no breed more exciting than Salukis. Just over the hill from where I stayed while I was living in South Africa is the lovely fishing village of Hout Bay. The beach there is deep and level, and it’s a…  Santa Barbara is an exceptionally dog friendly town and they have an exceptionally serious dog beach. Just below the Douglas Family Estate is Arroyo Burro County Beach (also called Hendry’s Beach by the locals), a favorite of surfers, sunset-watchers, and dogs. From the parking lot, you walk to the beach and turn right up the… |
