beautiful...looks like a hard lighting situation, but you did wonders with it #118208David L. Shannon April 16, 2004
Hi Cathy,Solid black dogs always are a lighting challenge. I've been involved with Labradors for over 20 years and there are probably millions of what people in the fancy affectionately describe as black blob pictures taken each year:-)) On the other hand, the darker yellow Labs and Golden Retrievers are pretty close to 18% gray and loved by in-camera exposure meters around the world.
BTW, went to your site and must compliment you on a really sensational portfolio. I'm particularly envious of the aerobatic plane ride you got to take. ----Dave #487645

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
