47*365: A Drink of Water

Share with fellow dog lovers!

A while back, a video was making the rounds on the Internet showing a dog drinking in slow motion. The dog’s tongue–bent far differently than you might think it would be–made the video fascinating.

But even without super slow motion, it can really be interesting to photograph your dog drinking. You’ll want a fast shutter speed so, if you don’t have a DSLR so you can adjust for shutter speed, you’ll want to make sure you have plenty of light. Natural light is always preferable to flash.

I shot these photos in our front yard as Irie drank out of the dogs’ “swimming pool.” It’s interesting to see the motions she goes through while drinking, ones that happen too fast just to see when we’re watching her…

…with all the wrinkles…

…and flying droplets…

Take a moment to take your dog’s photo while drinking…and then share it in the + link in the comments field below!
