Description

Raw, manual settings

ExposureTime : 1/160Sec
FNumber : F5.6
ISOSpeedRatings : 800
ExifVersion : 0220
FocalLength : 300.00(mm)
Shot (not the dog) in bad lighting so bumped the ISO up. Graham took it, we were an obedience trial taking photos
for the club's web photo album. No editing or cloning a tree out of a dogs head etc. although chain link fencing
can be faintly seen in the background. I love this shot as it was a great little competing dog. Sharpened and levelled in Photoshop. ~Pat

This is for you Tess if you click on the music. "Danny Boy" is sung by a young boy, I have forgotten his name, sorry. ~Pat #1195947

I forgot to put the music there, sung by Declan Galbraith
