In good hands

20121020_0062

During a lull from the last retirement day at Fastfriends a few weeks ago I saw this freshly-washed hound getting some attention from a volunteer. The lighting was dramatic; the greyhound's eyes were dreamy, as if it was on the verge of falling asleep.

It's another one of those "hands helping hounds" pictures, I guess.

(Shot with the Nikon D600 using the 70-200mm VR zoom at 200mm; aperture-priority, with aperture set to f/2.8; camera chose shutter speed of 1/640 second at ISO 100; center-weighted metered; auto white balance; normal JPG.)

  1. Dramatic shot. It's almost like she's coming out of the darkness into the light of retirement.

  3. You could publish your own calendar with just those hands helping shots and it would go over like wildfire! I agree with Gyeong. It's a stunning, dramatic shot!
