The Newfoundland.

Mostly I photograph dogs at dog shows close up. Trying to isolate the dogs alone in the photo.

Sometimes I do like to capture images of dogs and their handlers. For this image I was in the right place to be able to photograph the lineup as the show judge was pulling out his favorites for a short list at the breed ring where the Newfoundland dogs were exhibiting.

I had the perfect opportunity to photograph a group of handlers and their beautiful Newfoundland dogs all in a row together.

I also had the right equipment at the time to do so. I don’t always have a lens with a wide enough angle of view to be able to capture this image when I am photographing a dog show. Fortunately at this time I had my Nikon 70-200mm lens and I could zoom all the way out to 70mm.

Photo details: Nikon D500. Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8. Focal length 70mm. ISO 640. 1/5000 sec. f/2.8.
