Nina poses quite a challenge when being photographed, not the least of which is her propensity to bolt at a second’s notice. Her energy notwithstanding, the challenge is actually her black coat which can come out quite flat or as just a black blob if she isn’t lit well. And so, with a little help from my off-camera flash with soft box attachment, I set myself to the task.

Thanks Joanna. She is a little brat, but I love her to pieces. She has the most adorable eyes.

Very nice shots. For mood, the first is great. As much as dogs can appear pensive, that shot shows it. The second is my next favorite.
Hopefully people will click on the pictures for the better versions.

She often has that pensive look. I think she’s just hyper-attentive to stimuli (and super nosy).

Thank you. The first time she looked at me with those eyes, I was a goner.

Great job. I have black cats and I have a LOT of trouble photographing them. Aside from the fact they won’t sit still, they’re all black, and come out like a black blob, like you say.
