The Miniature Schnauzer.

I love the way the beard and long fur on this Miniature Schnauzer is swishing to the side as the dog trots across the show ring.

I like it when I am able to get in close to a relatively small dog. I was able to photograph the Miniature Schnauzer with my 70-200mm zoom lens. And I didn’t even need to zoom in all the way to 200mm.

Being relatively close tot he dog and using an f-stop of 2.8 allows for a shallow depth of field. This renders the background field of grass as green space with almost no detail because it is so out of focus.

Photo details: Nikon D500. Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8. Focal length 130mm. ISO 400. 1/2000 sec. f/2.8.
