10 Feet & 4 Paws
Posted on August 22, 2011 in Animals, People, Pet Photography
This image is a good example of one of those times when you are concentrating so hard on photographing the main subject that you hardly notice what’s going on around it. In this case, I was intent on watching this dog make a running leap into the pool. What I didn’t notice was all of the legs/feet standing around and watching right along with me. I know that you’re SUPPOSED to take all aspects of what is in the frame into account when composing an image, but with a ton of dogs all running, swimming, jumping and playing at the pool, that was next to impossible! When photographing pets, I’ve learned that a LOT of rules and best practices go right out the window. I really like this ‘action shot’ as the dog’s paws are just hitting the water and the droplets are seen throughout the frame. Look at those flying ears! This guy was having FUN!
