Photographing a dog

Aside

Photographing animalsĀ can beĀ hard work. Especially if your subject is a 10-month-old border collie x smithfield cross dog. That’s a working farm dog crossed with a working farm dog. That equals pure energy. At least two walks a day are required for young Benny. Plus a good session of backyard throw-the-ball (or stick, or rope) game.

Benny didn’t want his photo taken. He wanted me to throw the rope. I managed a few shots before he started to throw the rope in the air and try to catch it himself. It was then I knew it was time to put the camera down and play. Thanks for your patience Benny.
