Ernie

Sony A6300, 55-210mm lens (at 210mm), f/6.3 at ISO 200 ‘Ernie, our Labrador, was waiting for a stick to be thrown,’ explains Steve, ‘so I grabbed the opportunity to capture his stare through the long reeds, with a low sun on our nearby walk around Holywell Dene, Seaton Sluice.’ Any dog lover will enjoy this picture and recognise that eager expression, skilfully captured here. Steve is a commercial pilot whose travels around the world enable him to indulge his passion for photography. ‘When I am home, though, my photography predominantly centres around my daughter and our dog Ernie, and the beautiful North East coastline around our home in Cullercoats, Newcastle.’ He’s on Instagram as @thegeordiepilot.
