PHOTOGRAPH INFO
Another film shot from 2005 using Kodak Portra VC
I have a ridiculous fondness for the Newfoundland dog, as many of you know. :)
I met this big, sweet, wonderful, slobbery, darling Newfoundland dog last year at Beltzville State Park and I hate to admit it, but I can't remember the Newf's name or his owner's name! I do remember that they live in Bucks County, about 20 minutes from Durham Township. Hopefully someone out there will know who they are and send me a note. :)
Post-processing: Shot with the Nikon F75
Thank you for visiting Durham Township!

Fantastic shot Kathleen. Love the color and tone as well as the composition. And that dog is incredible!

They are big 'ole sweethearts aren't they?
I love the way you framed this with the owner clearly in the background. The focus on the dog's eyes is really great.

Posted by Rick on November 25, 2006 9:27 AMWhat a wonderful portrait! I love how the focus is on his eyes. But I do find the shallow depth of field on his nose to be a bit distracting. He does seem to be paying close attention to you.

Posted by John on November 26, 2006 12:11 AMBrilliant! They say an owner takes after his dog, or something. Shame it wasn't a little sharper, but great comic image nonetheless
Posted by LwS on November 26, 2006 6:19 AMha ha! very nice! love those lazy eyes... And you know what they say about dogs who look like their masters.....! ?-)
Posted by javga on November 26, 2006 8:58 AMThe dog has lovely eyes, and you've shot this from a great perspective...
Aren't they nearly as big as a horse or even a house? :)
What a dog! Photo looks great with the eyes and tongue.
I've been catching up on your photos, I loved the ones in the fields of flowers, especially the pink boots and laughing ones, couldn't comment on them though.
Posted by kristarella on November 26, 2006 6:38 PMLove that you're shooting film!! This is an adorable shot of dog and owner!! I'm sure he'd love a copy of this one.
