The Hound


Another regular feature in front of my camera is the hound, not the easiest subject to photograph because he's so short, you have to get right down on the ground to capture a shot and, since sitting and staying aren;t his strong points he takes it as a cue to run forwards thinking it's a game. This is where stealth and a telephoto lens come in handy. Otherwise all you end up with is either a brown blur or a close up of his nose as he advances.

This one was taken many years ago (back in the dauy when film photography was the norm, not this digital thing we all us enow) when he was still physically a puppy. He's aged now in all aspects, except mentally.
