Something completely different today: during a spontaneous walk on a rainy day, the day before yesterday I was allowed to photograph the Australian Shepherd males of a friend. I have never photographed pets so far, but it's actually fun...

I took this picture in my hometown, the models are the beautiful and lovely dogs of a friendTime
We took a morning walk with the dogsLighting
The day was cloudy, which made for soft light with little contrastEquipment
Canon EOS 5D Mark IV with an Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 lensInspiration
The picture was taken quite spontaneously. The dogs are trained to climb a hill or rock on command, whereupon they receive a goodie. The two looked so pretty on this rock that we spontaneously took some picturesEditing
Fortunately, apart from a small increase in the contrast, no further post-processing was necessaryIn my camera bag
First and foremost, I photograph landscapes. I have two lenses in my backpack for this genre: the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM and the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM. Various ND and GND filters as well as a tripod are of course always included. If the way to the photo spot is not too long or too difficult, I also like to take the Tamron 70-300mm 1: 4-5.6 SP Di VC USM with me for detailed shots. Occasionally I do astrophotography with the Sigma 14mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art but this thing is so heavy that it is only taken for that special occasion. My second big passion is wildlife photography. Here I have the Tamron SP 150-600mm F / 5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 (also very heavy and therefore not always in the backpack) for the larger and more abrasive specimens and the Tamron SP 90mm 1: 2.8 Di Macro 1:1 VC USD for the tiny ones For indoor photography and other occasions where you need an ultra-wide angle, I recently added another heavyweight - the Sigma 12-24mm f / 4 DG HSM Art, which is not always included due to the weight. I use all those lenses with my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV My newest toy is a drone: the dji Mavic 2 pro for unusual perspectives, abstractions and a view over the fogFeedback
