That's funny!!
Your dog has redeye, only its greeneye, not redeye!!
Nyht, actually, welcome to the Hog!
Seriously, you asked what to change? You deserve a real explanation.
I apologize for the ham remark(I have trouble avoiding those!).
First it's the reflection of the dogs retinas reflecting light back at you. As I understand it, in animals, especially those that have good night vision and especially if they see in B&W the rods and cones of the eye are more prevalent and reflect more light than do our own eyes. It becomes a specular highlight of sorts, and when using a flash, if the flash is pointed straight at the eye, it will reflect the light straight back at you just like a mirror would. If the dog is looking slightly in a different direction, the light, just like a mirror, comes back at a slightly different direction and does not enter the lens, so produces no greeneye(in your case).
To prevent the effect, use one hand to creat a movement and get the dog to not look straight at you while you flash the shot. Or just like people photographers do, use an off camera flash. It creates just enough change of angle that the reflected light does not enter the lens, thus no greeneye!
The flash mounted on a P&S is so close to in line with the lens that redeye is a constant problem when a subject is looking straight at you.
OR, get your dog some sunglasses, that will work as well! :lol:
