I acquired a new target for my camera ten days ago -- this guy turns ten weeks old today. Do all dogs love snow like this guy does? He was totally undaunted by snow over his head. Any pointers for photographing dark dogs in snow would be welcome.

My Shepard Alaskan Malamute mix loves the snow!

Is this one Shepard/Husky mix? Those long stranded white hairs are a riot!

Ya, you definitely have a pal for life here

If your dog is occupying most of the frame your camera on auto metering is likely to overexpose a bit which could blow out the snow but more likely on bright days than days like this one. Setting a manual exposure which allows the blacks to be black yet with detail will help in holding the whites of the snow.

Enjoy!

Thanks Karl.

This one is pure shepherd -- probably a long stock coat. I love the look too.

I don't think you need pointers on shooting a dark dog against the snow. You did well.

The usual mistake is to choose shallow DOF and focus on the eyes, noticing only later that the nose is OOF. You avoided that, yet kept the background nicely blurred.

Good job.

Love the new pup, enjoy puppyhood. Been reading a lot...the camera will see the snow as way bright and will try to compensate by making it darker resulting in grey snow. You did very well.

With a puppy around, remember, don't eat the yellow...

Most dogs tend to get _really_ happy in cold weather, especially snow. I don't know why that is; it's enough to just enjoy the moment.

Nice job!
