With the world’s greatest dog show, Crufts, kicking off in the UK today, I thought I’d put together a collection of fantastic dog photos – including some information on how they were taken, and why I think they’re great. Enjoy!

I love the fantastically-sharp focus on the eyes in this pic, and the shallow depth of field, making everything but the head blurry (by using a wide aperture of f/2.5). Taken with a Nikon D70

I love the low viewpoint, and this little cutie is caught mid-run by using a fast shutter speed of 1/4000 sec. The background is also nicely blurred, keeping our focus on the dog, by using a wide aperture of f/2.8 and a long focal length of 150mm. Taken with a Canon 40D. A lovely shot indeed!
