A Day of Practice, Practice, Practice . . .

I spent the last couple days working on focusing and working with the hard lighting ( sun, no clouds ) we have been having, which I do not especially like.  With so much contrast and shadows it is difficult not to get ugly blotchy shots. Of course photography is constant practice and problem solving, one of it's great attractions. I love this photo.  I got Blanca in the shade with just highlights on her.  Focus is hard with such fast moving subjects like dogs.  Of course in this photo focus was not an issue.  

 Get to really work on focus here, shooting through grass and trees.  I love this back lighting on my alert Chocolate.
