ARCHITECTURAL: Pet Photography 52 Week Project - Week 49

The theme for this week is architectural. Most of my photo sessions don't really include any architectural elements. Most of my sessions are at parks. Most don't have a lot of architectural elements or if they do, it's a bridge. If I'm going to write a blog about this topic and take photos this week using architectural elements, that was going to require some planning.

EMOTION: Dog Photography 52 Week Project - Week 48

Emotion is the topic of the dog photography 52 week project for week 48 and emotion is the reason why I got into dog photography. In August of 2014 my black lab Buddy had a health scare. I was out of town and my husband came home to find him disoriented and bleeding from his nose. He rushed him to the emergency vet and they couldn't confirm but suspected cancer.

Bird's Eye View - Pet Photography 52 Week Project - Week 47

Bird's eye view is the topic for week 47 of our pet photography 52 week project. To pull this off, I knew I needed to get up high and be looking down on the dog I'm photographing. When you're photographing an already tall dog with pointy ears like a german shepherd, you really need to get up high!

WATER: Dog Photography 52 Week Project - Week 46

Water is the topic for our Dog Photography 52 Week Project this week and can I just say "yipee!" Water as our topic makes me happy because I just spent 15 days on the California coast and I have LOADS of photos with the Pacific Ocean in the background. If I hadn't spent 15 days in CA, this theme would've been a little more challenging to me. My apologies to those of you who don't have an ample supply of water to use as your backdrop regularly. I don't either and I am completely jealous of anyone who does.

SUN FLARE - Dog Photography 52 Week Project - Week 45

Sun flare is the theme this week and I can't believe it's already week 45 in our 52 week dog photography challenge. First, let me say I'm in my favorite place in the world, Corona del Mar, CA.  

I am at a dog photography retreat in southern California so we've been photographing a lot of dogs. Unfortunately, most of the photos I have with sun flare don't have dogs in them. The photo above was taken at Lookout Point in Corona del Mar. The sun rises over the cliffs (camera left) and sets over the Pacific.

BOLD COLORS: Dog Photography 52 Week Project - Week 44

Bold colors is  the theme for week 44 of the 52 week dog photography project and I'm in southern California! I'm in my happy place. I lived here from 2004 - 2007 and it's my favorite place in the world. I don't get back here as often as I like but when I do, I'm in heaven.
