More Puppypix

[jacey]

It was fine and mild a couple of days ago and I got the camera out at last, so here's Eska Puppy in the back garden. She's now 18 weeks old.

Black dogs are awfully difficult to photograph properly because their features  tend to merge into a black blob, but I got lucky with this one.

She's very sweet natured, though very boisterous.

She's almost totally black (so far) though has little foxy tips to her ear hair and if you look closely sandy hair between her toes. There's also a little white dot on her chest. And of course, the thing that always stands out in a photo is the pink tongue.

What a cute puppy!

Those are lovely. She is a delightful dog. Another thing is to catch a but of light reflection off the eyes, which works with black animals.

Yes, though it's tricky not to get that ghoistly retinal bounce-back. I'm a very haphazard photographer.I end up taking masses of pics and selecting the best - or sometimes the least-bad.

Black animals of any kind are notoriously difficult to photograph well, but Eska has come out really well, especially in the second shot.

For the real amorphous black blob look, you should try photographing a black guinea pig. When I was a child I took some decent photos of Honey, our pale gold guinea pig, but photographing her totally black daughter was next to impossible. :)
