I recommend a good photo editor for inside shots with any dog along with any help your camera will give you. I use adobe photoshop elements. Even then I find the black dog pics rarely turn out, especially if you have florescent lighting.

Delete is a good button. Now that you're down to the acceptable snaps. More, yep more time, going through playing around with cropping, enlarging, color saturation, etc on the the pics you do like. Black is difficult. I always like to get the shine of the coat but it never turns out in the sun. I think I have better luck when I can get some in the shade or a slightly overcast day. Here's one of my favorites of Strider. Note we are in heavy shade (only a bit of cropping for this snap). http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj62/imrsallen/IMG_0982.jpg Lots and lots of pics is my only real hint.

Lots for sure, until you get a decent one. Great picture of Strider! At least I can get some good shots of Roger's legs.

Just keep taking photos is all I can say. Full sun light. No dark room playing. http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj62/imrsallen/IMG_0939.jpg
