Ella – standard Schnauzer

Ella is a 2 and a half years old Schnauzer, she is full of life and likes to play. Her Motto is Party, Party! She loves to play with the ball and she loves being silly and cuddly..

It was hard to keep her still on any photos, but we managed just fine.

Ella, like most Schnauzers is very good at jumping..

Rob, Ella’s owner wanted some photos with him and Ella, for his website, the turned out great but you will not see them here..sorry.

I had some challenges during this shoot with getting the focus right on the  lens I am testing ( 24-105 L f4)… I find it a little dark..these photos aabove were taken with  my trustworthy 70-200 L IS F2.8… I love that lens and I am the most comfortable using it for any sort of photos.. however I cannot get close..well..I get beautiful close ups from the distance..

Above shot with 70- 200,

below 24-105, both were sharp l lenses..but completely different effect.. I think I have learned with the horses that the “fish eye” kind of photographs are not always welcomed lol!

It is great that we have the technology to do both, so I usually give the clients some choices…it is a buffet of possibilities!A

Anyway, enough of this mambo jumbo and back to Ella, as I said it was a challenge to keep her steady…


I like that picture, it shows her fun personality. She is such a friendly and happy dog. Her daddy wishes her attention span was longer than 3 sec, but otherwise he has no complains.

The meadow was very wet, but this was not enough for Ella, she decided to end our session with the plunge…

Another beautiful sunny day in Vancouver… I love the sun, but overcast weather is better for photos… So many shot ruined by the shadows.. I have to pay more attention to it is the future!

Thank you Ella and Rob!
