Pick Me!
Posted on December 23, 2010 in Animals, Pet Photography
When I see this dog’s face, I can’t help but think of the shelter dog commercials on TV…you know the ones…where the dogs are in a cage, with such sad eyes, pleading for you to bring them home?! I cry every time I watch those commercials! This image points out the value of using the “continuous shooting” mode on the camera. When this Bullmastiff was in the ring for the Working Group judging at the Lehigh Valley Kennel Club Show in Allentown, I used continuous shooting and fired off 6 quick shots before the judge came to examine the dog. As soon as I saw those eyes, I knew that THIS was the shot! The dog is looking up at the judge as he’s coming toward him as if to say, “Pick Me!” Had I not been using the continuous shooting mode, I likely would have missed the split second when the dog looked up at the judge with those big sad eyes! I love this image….what an expressive face this dog has! And his eyes make me want to take him home…just like in the shelter dog commercials!
