Everything about this Pomeranian is adorable!  I can’t resist the Pom’s tiny little ears, fluffy coat, and those little whiskers!  Cute, cute, cute!!  This image is from the Chester Valley Kennel Club Show earlier this month in Ludwig’s Corner, Pa.

Photographers are always on the lookout for repeating patterns to photograph.  An interesting quote on the topic written by David Peterson is:  “Patterns are to photography, what rhythm is to music. Repeating patterns, if captured the right way, strengthen an image. Ten pillars on a porch, a hundred umbrellas on the beach, a thousand bricks on a wall and a million petals on a field… repetition takes on a life of its own.”  I think I hit the jackpot with patterns in this image!

One of the most important animal photography tips is to focus on the eyes and try to capture the “catchlight”.   The catchlight is that bright little sparkle in the eye that reflects from a light source when you are photographing.  It brings the image to life!   With some breeds that is just more difficult than with others……!  🙂

Jessy Sutton and Giant Schnauzer, “Ch Skansen’s Lola” at the Chester Valley Kennel Club show in Ludwig’s Corner a couple weekends ago.  A little kiss for good luck never hurts, right?

Yes, I absolutely see a handler gently touching his dog’s tail.  I also see 1/2 of a heart.  What do you see?  Do you know what breed this is?   The image is from the Chester Valley Kennel Club Show on Saturday, May 9, 2015 – Ludwig’s Corner, Pa.
