Emmi Portrait


Here is a photo of my uncles dog, she is called Emmi. I am not completely happy with the photo, but it’s also not a photo I would delete. I like the close-up shot, but I am unhappy that I did not frame it well, I’d prefer it if I would have shot it so that you can see a little bit more of the neck. The background is a bit distracting in one area, especially the bright area beside her right ear. But photography is about practicing and improving, and I take a look at the issues to take … Continue reading Emmi Portrait

Weekly Photo Challenge: Fun


This Friday, the WordPress Photo Challenge is about fun. I’d like to show off a photo that I shot last summer. I met my uncle outside and he had one of his dogs with him, and I was new to DSLR photography and wanted to try some action shots. I asked him if he could let his dog Jacko run, and I tried my luck to take some action photos. I did also take photos of my uncle that day, he looks so happy on the photos. I wish we could hang out like that again, but his brain tumor … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Fun

Weekly Photo Challenge: Opposites


I thought I participate in the recent WordPress Photo Challenge with the motto Opposites, because my photo of Emmi and Charlie should fit. Both of them are dogs in the family, and I uploaded a very similar photo not a long time ago, it was the same shooting. I would call the photo in this post a snapshot, a term that I usually use for my photos when I just did press the shutter button to see how the photo turns out. But the thing is, with animals, you can just mindless click the shutter button, subjects like dogs or … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Opposites

Black And White Dog Photo


I still have so many dog photos that I never uploaded, but I need to work on this too. In this post I have a black and white photos of a black dog, I have chosen to change the image to black and white as the image was extremely overexposed, and in this case black and white is often the last chance to make it look good. In fact, it’s often very surprising how you can fix overexposed images when you convert them to black and white. Apart from that, black and white looks good anyway.

Cute White Dog


Here is one dog photo that I shot in a forest in Reinfeld. I had a small talk with the dog owner, we talked about the forest and the area, and at the end I asked him if I could take a picture of his dog. While it’s allowed to photograph pets of strangers, it’s sometimes better to ask anyway. Some people start a drama if you take pictures of their dogs, it doesn’t make sense, but that’s how it is in Germany. The owner of this cute white dog however was very friendly and happy that I wanted to … Continue reading Cute White Dog
