3 objectives when taking a photo

[AKSkeeter]

When taking dog photos with my cell phone, I aim for 3 easy objectives:

1. Place the phone slightly below the dog
2. Capture the landscape we are hunting in
3. Capture the "catch light" in the dogs eyes

This photo was from our hun hunt this morning.

Find any Huns that made the picture complete??

Nice picture! Using the lighter background defined the outline of the dog.

In a low spot, so couldn't get much landscape in the background. MN tallgrass prairie that has never had the sod busted or turned over. Per the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

How'd you get the dog to stay still??

J/k. Good advice.

Great looking dog and photo. Mind disclosing at least the state you were in?

Mutthunt asked: "How'd you get the dog to stay still??" Say "stay" or "whoa."

Try asking "what restaurant did you eat at last night?" Ha ha! Inquiring minds want to know!

How did it survive that? Was it always part of some federal land?

How did it survive that? Was it always part of some federal land?

From what I read it's fertile ground but there's a few veins of large rock running through it so it was never plowed. It was used for livestock grazing. Fortunately US fish and wildlife bought it a few years back and now it's federal land.

Couldn't get much lower.....

"Catch Light" in this Golden Pup eye as another example.
By moving to the right with the sun more to my back, I could throw the bumper out and
capture the "catch light" in both eyes.
Sometimes by moving a few feet the photo can be improved substantially.

Montana. I hunt every weekday morning, so ease the dogs and myself back into shape.
Week 1, first hour of the morning.
Week 2, first 2 hours of the morning.
That way the dogs feet toughen up, and we hunt while it is cool, then head home.
