I’m lucky when testing new (or old) stuff, because there’s always one subject around begging for attention and that is my goldendoodle dog Yume. She’s my most-photographed subject around the house, although she’s always a bit shy when you point a camera at her. I have read somewhere that animals see a camera lens as a big dark eye and sometimes feel uneasy when that eye stares them in the face. I can spot a bit of that in this shot, but no harm was done here…

Yume was shot with a medium format camera; Hasselblad 503CW with Zeiss CFi 100mm 3.5 Planar lens and CFV-39 digital back. Profoto Lights.
