I can’t believe we’re on the 4th theme of the year!
This time we’re concentrating on catchlights and I love the opportunities of this one.
Catchlights are what makes your subject come alive. If you have good lighting – artificial or natural, and you have your animal in the right spot you can get some lovely ones. We ideally want to have the same amount in both eyes.
Here is the return of Finn. I got the chance to get some more photos on Monday, although typically, the sun came out when I was at home editing! I also started off on a bad note due to an infected eye. I had no contact lens in my dominant eye, so when I came to look through the viewfinder, I was baffled as to why the camera wasn’t focusing. I checked the AF, took the lens off and turned the camera on and off… The penny finally dropped and changed eyes!
Still, here in Finns eyes we see lovely catchlights – caused by a window!
I love any opportunity to photograph dogs so when we took Finn out for his walk I was hoping we’d get some nice weather and get some nice catchlights – instead it rained. I did get this though – placing him in front of the clouded sun with a slight enhancement in post!
One thing that reminds me of Finn is his drool, and while we usually remove such things from photos, I actually added more in the below shot because it was just him! Catchlight wise – these aren’t great due to the lightest part of the sky being behind, so it shows that the placing of your subject helps!
Finn belongs to the lovely Marion. a dog behaviour consultant! Check out what she does here!
For more catchlights head on over to Courtney from CM Bryson Photography – a pet photographer service the Metro Atlanta in Georgia
Finn is adorable…. drool and all!
Finn is lovely, drool and all!
Gorgeous colors and beautifully exposed for a dark black dog (yes, I think there are lighter black dogs an darker black dogs :>), nicely done.
Great discussion. Beautiful examples. Love Finn.
Oh, but you do drool so well. lol Finn is adorable! His beautiful eyes are wonderful for this week’s theme.
Love the crisp catchlights in the first image. I also love that you embraced the drool!
Drool, drool, beautiful drool! Oh and great catchlights..lol!
So much drool! I love it!
That drool! I love it!!! Finn is beautiful! Perfect exposure for a black dog and nice job bringing out his beautiful eyes!
Sweet pup. Drool rules and so does Finn. 😉
Love the drool! It looks like it’s a part of his personality. Hope your eye is on the mend!

Wow, awesome blog layout! How long have you been blogging for?
you made blogging look easy. The overall look of your website is fantastic, let alone the content!
I was wondering if you ever considered changing the
page layout of your blog? Its very well written; I
love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so
people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot
of text for only having 1 or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

Is this a paid subject matter or did you modify it your
self? Anyway stay up the excellent high quality writing, it is uncommon to see a nice blog like this
