I think your exposure setting are right on. I just love #3. Great action shot and a fun subject to work with.

Auto is all I ever used. Hopefully with lots of practice and the knowledge of the users on this site I will get out of auto. I already learned a ton from just this one post.

Thanks, they are great fun. Now I can practice what I learned today and start to take some pictures of them in the sun.

This is my first posting here and would like some advice on how to shoot white things. My 2 American Eskimo Dogs get completely blown out when I take pictures of them in the direct sunlight. As you can see I try and take all of my pictures in the shade lol. The 2 snow pictures were taken with a Canon G9 ( now dead ) and the other ones with a Sony A55V that I am still getting used to. The B&W one was way over exposed in colour. All the pictures are take in Auto mode. Thanks.

Love 3,4 and 5!!!! :thumbup:
Try experimenting in aperture priority. All this does is let the photographer become more creative and take a little more control of exposure. Last Friday there was an exercise on UHH to use the A or Av mode and start with the lowest Fstop, f8, f16, and Highest Fstop. This changes the depth of field; especially creative if the subject is zoomed or close and you want to see the background differently. If the background is blurred, it makes the subject stand out. Also, if you are taking images of white dogs, you can use a bracket feature on most DSLR's, and your can use Exposure compensation on all DSLR's. The last picture of the wet dirty white dog has overexposed white fur. With exposure compensation you can change the exposure with minor changes with the exposure compensation dial and bring the fur detail back in the blow out white fur. Just experiment and read about aperture priority in you camera book. It's easy.
I like these pics, too. The black and white is my favorite. Your critters look healthy and happy.
Nice tips on the photos too. I've been trying to get a good pic of our Cockatoo, Stella, and these should help.
Tips on how to get good shots of black dogs? Please.
