PHOTOGRAPH INFO
This photo of Sierra was taken last weekend during another brief snowfall. Sierra belongs to Matt Thaler, one of the owners of the nearby Thaler dairy farm. Sierra has an amaaaaaazing coat - soft and thick - and she's crazy about the snow.
Sierra was outside playing with Jakey's two dogs, Bailey and Amber, and it was an occasion for a fast shutter!
Post-processing: Shot with the Canon EOS 5D
Thank you for visiting Durham Township!

Posted by Rémi on December 6, 2007 8:43 AMThis is a beautiful portrait of Sierra. I used to have a dog with the same name. She was named after the Sierras where I live.
Posted by Sherri Meyer on December 6, 2007 8:49 AMwhat a gorgeous dog. She's looks thrilled to be out in the cold. A bit unlike my dogs.
Posted by Keith De-Lin on December 6, 2007 8:49 AMSierra's excitement oozes out of your photo! Makes me want to run around in it in big snow boots, fall down and make snow angels and have hot cocoa with frozen fingers hours later! Beauty.
Posted by Gator on December 6, 2007 12:14 PMThat is one gorgeous dog, and an excellent photo to display her beauty.
Posted by Mary on December 6, 2007 12:52 PMI like photos of things black & white almost as much as I like black & white photos. Dogs are unashamed to express their joy and gladly show their teeth when they smile.
Posted by JPH on December 6, 2007 1:08 PMNow that's a gorgeous dog. I love their blue eyes.
Posted by Laurie on December 6, 2007 2:56 PMGreat pose, but Sierra is just too cute. Looks so airbrushed around the eyes and ears, it borders on bothersome. Cats look cool with that clean, "perfectly-groomed" look, but dogs need to be at least a tiny bit scruffy......or is it just me?
PS Just got the Pennsylvania Magazine, delighted to see your work in print!
Posted by david tinnon on December 6, 2007 8:30 PMI'm a huge fan of Huskies, having one myself, you've captured this beautiful animal so well.
Posted by Will Williams on December 6, 2007 11:20 PMWow, talk about a photo that pops! Great composition and perfect framing, and the boots & jeans in the background add a lot to the photo.
Posted by Anthony DiSante on December 7, 2007 5:26 AMShe just makes one smile :). A wonderful photo. - Received my copy of Pennsylvania, it is wonderful to see your photos on paper, monitors are crisp, but a print you can hold in your hand.
Posted by Noreen on December 7, 2007 9:08 AMWonderful portrait of a beautiful animal. Sierra's eyes are such a beautiful blue!
Posted by Kim on December 8, 2007 6:30 AMWhat a beautiful dog! Those eyes are amazing!
Posted by Alice on December 8, 2007 3:13 PMSo beautiful! Makes me miss my old husky.
Posted by scott on December 17, 2007 11:40 PMLovely portrait. I have 2 alaskan malamutes and they both look as happy as Sierra during the winter.
Posted by Sara on January 15, 2008 3:52 PMWow! Sierra's eye makeup is way cooler than Amy Winehouse's. Can she sing?
