Hey everyone

My first post for C&C on pics of our newest addition - the black lab!
I begged and begged hubby for a yellow lab since they are easier to photograph, but he won :( Any tips on photographing a dark colored animal? (I've just been shooting in raw, and playing around from there!)

Here's Miss Paisley!

You better take that first picture and frame it and place it on the wall... You seemed to nailed the exposure pretty good with the black dog. For the up close pictures, where the dog fills the frame you may have to underexpose a 1/2 stop or so because black doesn't reflect any light. However, for important shots you may want to bracket.

Oh I love her! I've had a few black labs in my life and now I REALLY want to have another one!
You've done a beautiful job. I look forward to seeing lots more of her as she grows up and welcome to POTN!
