Brandy

Uploaded: November 27, 2010

Description

This summer I thought I would loose Brandy to Congestive Heart Failure and severe arthritis. She was so sick she would no longer walk. She has lost 20 pounds, is now on some arthritis medicine and we walk a mile each day again and she is bright with head up again. Taken with 50mm prime F/1.4 lens at F1.4 for selective focus. Composed to get both eyes at the top power points and primary focus on the one to the left.

Exif: F Number: 1.4, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/1600 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 1000, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 50.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS-1D Mark IV

She's a beauty, Emile...wonderful detailed portrait of her lovely face and expression. I have a "Coco doggie" that has the same problem...but she's plugging along with a bit of care...true love there. 15 years old and still walks the property with me on photo shoots. Doesn't chase the geese anymore...just my great pal! #9071743
