Trader and his entourage have been racking up a good number of Best in Show’s this year – congrats to all!  Hopefully I will catch up with them at a show soon.  It’s been too long!

What’s the best light for dog show photography?  Bright overcast.  Sun is definitely not your friend when it comes to outdoor pet photography.  Yesterday dawned cloudy with a threat of showers, but the rain held off and the light made for super nice photos at the dog show.  There are still the challenges faced by shooting both under a tent where there is less light and out in the open rings, so the need to change settings frequently is a way of life, but I couldn’t have been happier with yesterday’s weather.

This was the Leonberger Best of Breed lineup at the New Brunswick Kennel Club show in Edison, NJ a couple of weekends ago.  The judge had a tough decision … they were all gorgeous dogs!

Newfies are master swimmers.  Hopefully before long the weather will warm up all across the United States so that they can take to the water and do what they love!
