Photographing dogs with mostly black fur outdoors in the sunlight is challenging. There is so much contrast that they tend to look like big black blobs. Still, I try it every couple years or so. And occasionally I get a shot that I don’t hate:

 


She’s a little easier because she has some grey and white mixed in and her wiry hair has more texture.

 


She’s really tough to get a decent shot of.

 

Adding to the challenge is the slight delay between pressing the shutter and the actual image capture. And then there’s the fact that the pups really don’t understand what I’m trying to do….

 


Look over here, pup…

 


Puppy…

 


Hey, pup…

 


Up here, baby…

 


Puppy…

 


I giggle like an idiot every time I look at this one….
