IF YOU ENJOY photography, few subjects are as satisfying to take pictures of than dogs, while working gundogs are perhaps the most pleasing, and challenging, of all.
Whenever I attend a gundog event I always take my camera. Here I have chosen a small selection of my favourite photographs, but if I had to pick my favourites again next week, I would probably opt for a totally different set, as I have so many to choose from.
Tip for photographing dogs
The secret of success when photographing dogs is to take pictures at the animal’s eye level, and not from a human’s eye point some 4ft above the dog’s head. The camera angle makes a huge difference to the impact of the photograph: try it and see.
