This is the time of year where this crazy photography journey starts to become more challenging. See, I leave for work between 7am and 7:30am each morning. I typically don’t have enough time in the morning to think about photographing Nico. Plus, he is a couch potato in the morning. I usually arrive home from work between 4:30pm and 5:30pm. This time of year, the light is fading fast in the evening. By late December there is very little time during the day where I am home with Nico with sufficient light to get good photos. I’ve considered faster lenses, flashes, and even building a mini-studio with proper lighting. All that is money and time I don’t have. Instead, I work with what I got. Tonight that is a joyful dog running in the yard as the sunsets.
