Pet Photography Challenge

I have trying to get good pictures of my Service Dog for a long time now. His name is Rocky and he's 2 1/2 year old pure breed German Shephard. I've tried taking pictures of him in different places and different cities to get that really great picture. It's hard for me to tell which picture is the best one because I'm too close to the subject. You can't just tell a dog, cat,horse or birds how to pose,lol.

I'm not authorized to start a contest here but I can make a challenge,right? Post… Continue

We thought we'd share some of our experiences shooting photos from a boat to capture great shots of whales and the sunset while Maui sailing.

Clarification on permits requested....

I have heard about the permits, however my understanding is that they were for beach weddings, not other photography. Can you clarify this or direct me to a contact who can. I have a scheduled couple portrait session at Kaanapali....guests at the Kaanapali Beach Hotel, who want sunset pictures on the beach. I can't imagine needing a permit for this but would like some clarification. Thanks, Ken.
