Sadie

This is my sister's labradoodle, Sadie. She is a great, albeit high spirited, dog. I wasted many megapixels to get this shot - labradoodles do not know how to say "cheese".


Nikon D70s, 18-200mm at 26mm, ISO 200, 1/60 second with fill flash at f/4.8

The exposure was a challenge: dark brown dog, brown eyes, brown hardwood floor. In Photoshop, I brightened Sadie a bit in a curves adjustment layer, and painted light into the eyes using a duplicate layer in screen blending mode. Bob
