Woof - Woof - Wednesday

Welcome everyone to Woof - Woof - Wednesday.  We will attempt to update the blog every Wednesday with images from a photo session (past or present), maybe some information on dogs or photography or photographing dogs and occasionally some whimsy just so we can get you to smile!

Today I would like to introduce you to Sasha.  Sasha is a 9 year old rescue with a definite Diva personality.  This girl has eyes that will take that treat right out of your hand without you even knowing it.


The biggest trick is getting a dog in focus.  With a dog portrait you usually want to get from the tip of their nose to the tip of their ears in focus.  To do this, you need to have an aperture of  at least f8.0, but preferably f10 or f11.  Sometimes you have to change all your settings to accomplish this.  This particular image was photographed using a Canon 7d with a 24-70mm f2.8 lens at ISO 400, f8.0 at 1/200 sec.  It was a pretty gray overcast morning with a bit of drizzle, and dogs don't sit still for very long.  Have fun and experiment!
