Little black dog with a cold tushie. Taken Christmas Eve, 2004. A good flash certainly helps, preferably one with a swivel head, for bounce flash and reflected light. Here, the flash is of course trained directly at the subject. 

On the way to the dog park, proof that there are still sane people in Cincinnati.
