It’s tempting to put the camera away in the evening as the light of the day fades away…but don’t! Some of our favorite photos of the dogs are taken late in the day after sunset. The light is softer with a golden glow on many days. Except for high action photos, you’ll usually still have enough light for sharp, clear photos of your dog.
Both these photos of Irie were shot on the same day after sunset:
Without the harsh glare of sunlight, the colors are rich in these late day photos. We like shooting these late photos after an evening dog walk (so the dogs are calmer); it’s a great way to wrap up the day!
