    Providing joy in difficult times

    Our gang of labradors provide so much joy.
    Such wonderful dogs we enjoy all four of them.
    They Keep us busy due to high needs, but they also keep us fit and young(er).

    Missing is Wynter, our other 4 month old pup, as she's very light and I haven't gotten a good capture yet.
    These all could use improvement, (I want more in terms of their eyes but practice practice.... they seem to always be moving.

    Going to try for some active shots later, as Kulshan especially loves to herd his ball and is quite talented.

    Kulshan - rare moment of stillness

    Sharon - try using a small on camera flash (If you shoot with Canon - I have a 270EX II at a very good price - the last of my Canon gear to liquidate)...

    A flash will produce catch-lights in dogs eyes, making the eyes look more alert...

    Thank you Richard. I'm a fuji user (xpro-2) but I should really look into this, as I love photographing the dogs but want to improve.

    Thank you Peter, they are wonderful dogs with a ton of energy and love. It surely does help to have these clowns around right now (and always). No worries (other than when their next meal will be LOL) and living in the moment always.
