Black Dog Sunday

As most of you know, I get far fewer opportunities to photograph our sweet R than Shyla. But, I really love getting photos of him in golden aspen season so we went out the other evening for some photos around sunset.
After many years of photographing R, I have *finally* learned that strong sunlight makes black dog photography even harder. So, I like to wait until we have soft light around sunset.
And, R always looks very intense at that time of day. I think the wildlife are stirring, and he knows it.
Happy Black Dog Sunday!

    I know you are enjoying each moment of our fleeting Autumn. Both R and Shyla are so photogenic, but with you behind the camera it doesn't surprise me. Love seeing R back-lit with the golden Aspen leaves.
    May your week be filled with joy and love.
    Hugs, Noreen

    Prince Arrr is just handsomer every day and I would love to give him a big hug sometime.

    I hope you all wear the quilt to shreds, that is exactly what they are for.

    Thanks for the note!

    Black dogs are definitely a tightrope when depicted in art and photographs. R looks great in that last photo... you really captured the depth and shine that black dogs have!

    Black dogs are hard to photograph, but you make it look easy!

    I think you do a great job on photographing a black dog - it's a challenge. But you are so good at it, I think you should come out here and show me how to get better snaps of the black goats!
