When taking retriever photos with my cell phone, I aim for 3 easy objectives:

1. Place the phone slightly below the dog
2. Capture the landscape we are hunting in
3. Capture the "catch light" in the dogs eyes

This photo was from our hun hunt this morning.

And do not use a wide-angle setting on your camera, when up close. The distortion can be a bit comical.

Cell phone photo from this week.
I need to figure out if it is possible to shoot in burst mode with the old cell phone.
We were hunting cattail seeps along a steep slope.

Took out the oldest lab this morning for a couple hours.
Nice time of year for rooster hunting.

Red Dog needs to work on retrieving and I need to work on my photography, but she did point her first bird with pretty much zero training.
