Category Archives: outdoor  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…  Somehow, this doesn’t seem fair.

Bully (to his friends) is a French Bulldog, a breed that probably originated in England, where the English Bulldog was bred down to a size more suitable as a lap dog. Some of these smaller dogs were taken to France, and apparently it was…  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…  The Wirehaired Pointing Griffon is a breed you don’t hear much about. It was devloped in Holland in the 1870′s by Eduard Karel Korthals, who wanted a hunting dog that would stay close to the hunter on foot, could hunt any game in any terrain in any weather, and would come home at the end…  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. Incoming search terms:Dog dropping ballmy puppy with ballcool guy dog park If you’re a student of photography, you will probably have heard of Henri Cartier-Bresson. 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…  Maverick (Am/Can Int’l CH Sterling Blunote Gambler, CGC) is a sturdy hunk of a Great Dane, 9 years old and still looks and acts like a teenager except for a light dusting of white on his muzzle. Proud owner Jeff Ball wanted some photos taken in NYC that would make the dog look great and…  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…  This is the first of what will be a continuing series of posts about photographing dogs. I get lots of questions from people who ask how I captured a particular image, or what kind of lens I use, or if I think Nikon is better than Canon, or did I take photography classes, or whether…  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 the changing of the seasons in the eastern US, and you can’t beat Fall for providing a beautiful backdrop for some photography. So, when I found myself in Maryland just as the leaves were beginning to turn, I gathered up Alessandra Folz and her lovely Weimaraner Marge (Ch Colsidex Seabreeze Perfect Fit)…  I first met Hector (Am/Can Ch Artizoe’s High Caliber) the English Setter shortly after he arrived in the US from his original home in Quebec, Canada. He already had his Canadian championship so was no novice in the ring, but his native (human) language was French; his new owner, Shirley Hoeflinger, was American and Hector’s…  Meet Bunny.

The beaches are to die for – beautiful white sand and sparkling turquoise water, a photographer’s dream. Llandudno is a little upscale suburb perched on a west-facing cliff above a beautiful cove (apparently named…  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…  Sometimes the best photo isn’t the one you were looking for. While I was living in South Africa, I went out early one morning to shoot some photos of a friend’s new springer puppy and my own (South African-bred) Springer, Sally, came along.
