Freckles is a year-old female Cocker Spaniel who is staying with me overnight while her owner is out of town. Freckles is usually very active, but she managed to sit still for a minute while I took some photos of her.
I used my 50mm lens for this shot (a lens that I should use more often) and I tried to get as close to eye-level as I could. I shot it at f/2.2, which blurred out the beige carpet of my dining room, though I did have to clone out a couple of objects in the background.
I am happy that I was able to capture some of Freckles’ beautiful coloration and I am sure that most viewers will agree that she is a very photogenic model.
She is a beauty! Nice picture, Mike.
Thanks. It’s nice to have her around, even if she occasionally gets underfoot.
Her owners will start leaving her more often if you always send her home with beautiful portraits! 🙂
Freckles is a beautiful dog and that’s an excellent shot of her.
