clovis dailey




there is nothing quite like a dog that is mellow and never camera shy. clovis here is that dog. he is like a gentle giant. my dear friend and fellow mulhall's co-worker patty is the proud owner of this fun loving low level energy doggie. he is truly a beautiful dog to photograph. this was a little over an hour of creative time in 3-4 different locations in her fabolous home. i started with some long shots (40-150mm) a great portrait lens (check out the creamy bokeh) as long as the tripod is attached because of the app being pretty pitiful-f4 at the max. starting with the long lens is smart-you want the furry friends to get acquainted with you slowly-so you step off. then after some fun times in the morning dew-clovis, the big baby was soooo well behaved the whole time-even though his poor paws got slobbery wet from the grass-i switch to the med telephoto(14-54mm f2.8) and this is the quicker, better in low light lens. this shot is honestly the FIRST image i took of him. not bad-exposure is almost spot on and after pp-i added my logo. just a name-nothing more. that is a work in progress. i like the colors-orange and chocolate? patty says, shredded wheat is best for treats. i will buy a box! there are much more images to come-this is just a taste.
update-i added a couple more images-only the best! iso800, 1/500, f2.8, ffl54mm
