Lessons in Photography: Courtesy of Man's Best Friend
– by Chad Larsen and Andrea Halwas

Chad and Andrea's four-legged friend, Duke – by Chad Larsen

We always enjoy taking our dog hiking with us. Being
photographers, this may sound like a counterproductive activity, especially when we’re going out specifically with the intent of capturing nature or wildlife images.

As I opened the front door, I was greeted by our neighbour. “Get your camera, there is something you should see!” I wondered what it could be. The usual animal suspects came to mind: a bull moose, a whitetail buck, perhaps the elusive coyote. But these animals were frequent visitors to our area, and the urgency in my neighbor’s voice made it clear that this was something much more out of the ordinary.
