Dogs always seem to know where the good light is on a lazy weekend. The first two photos were not staged, rather I caught these two dogs when the light was right and I grabbed my camera. Here are a few quick shots I took and figured I'd share. Who doesn't like a few dog photos to brighten their day, right?
Cody
Cody is a friend's dog and he sure loves food. He will stare for hours at you until he gets a nibble. He also apparently likes baseball. Shot with my
Nikon D90 and 35mm lens. The curtains reflected the light like a huge light box. This room was a little smaller and more light reflected on his face from the walls than the next photo. I didn't have to do much editing in Lightroom.

Charlotte
I took this photo in December 2013 of Charlotte who is again another friend's dog. She is a Pitbull mix and really likes licking people and hiking. I took this when the sun was really low in the evening but the window shades were open. This created more of a silhouette as the light was more harsh. I didn't want to use a flash to fill in her right side as it had taken maybe 10 minutes just to get her to stay still. I was able to correct some of the shadows in Lightroom. All in all, I like her pose and the bokeh effect of the floral couch.

One for the funny pages
Cookie
I snapped this photo of Cookie with an old
Casio EX-Z1000 in 2007. I walked Cookie to a street near my house that was filled with lots of graffiti art. Let's just say I got a few stares trying to make a Yorkshire Terrier that is about 7 lbs. look tough on the streets of San Francisco. In the end, I thought the two of us pulled off the look we were going for. Lol.
