Seamus

He isn't Irish but his name is. Here is Seamus a 9 month old Black Lab with his Dad behind him. He's got a bit of the Devil in him but adorable none the less.
Shooting black dogs ain't easy. Well I have to say shooting dogs isn't easy period. Black dogs and white dogs are a challenge. I used AEB ( automatic exposure bracketing) 1 full stop to get this exposure and then adjusted the the mid tones in PS to get him perfectly black with the detail in his face....all that saliva!!!
Shot at f 4.0 1/100 ISO 400 on a cloudy day with my 70-200 zoom on 106.0mm.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
