First up let me apologise for the shouting in the intro, doing anything around waterfalls is noisy as heck, there's no way not to shout and still be heard - I do return to a (kinda) normal volume after this, I promise! There are timestamps below for you to skip ahead of the noisy start.
There is a FULL behind the scenes with oodles more information and shot set-ups in the MTog Vault for members available now 🤓
When photographing dogs around water, the number 1 top tip and priority of the photoshoot should always be SAFETY. This should be your number one priority regardless of the location, but when shooting around bodies of water it's even more vital.
I hope you enjoy these 5 Top Tips with the recommended kit and hopefully learn something to take away and practice - please let me know if you do!

Hope this video is useful for you all ❤
Ahh!! So happy to see you back!! 😍
Awww thank you 🙂
Super. I just found a decent waterfall that's not too far away - for my own photos that is. Serendipity.
Thank you for the video!
Another great video Jess,
Thank you for the kind words
Missed you Jess.
Thank you for the kind words, hope you enjoyed the video 🤓🙂
Thank you for another instructive and highly entertaining video. As you say, the safety of the dog in this environment cannot be overstated. Keep the good stuff going …
Thank you for the kind words, glad you found entertaining as well as educational 🤓
Thanks. Been a while since I've seen one of these. Hope everything has been going OK Jess.
It has been a little while, we decided to take a break from RUclips for a little while! Hope you found this video useful 🤓
Thanks Jess! Great info and I’m quite interested in the filters you used. Magnetic would be so much easier. I’ll have to check them out.
Glad you liked the video and found it informative 🙂 I love the magnetic filters 🤓
Nice video. I did a landscape shoot at Plodda Falls about a month ago, indeed, safety is most important, especially a location like that which was pretty steep getting down to. Folk need to think about their camera and gear as well, I alone had to carefully wade my way across to the other side of the river to photograph the waterfall and the rocks are covered in moss underneath, locking feet inbetween rocks enabled me to get across. Can imagine also what it's like with a dog.
Your own location is a lot more sensible for something like that and is really nice. Funny thing was, after me going to all the bother to make my way down the steep slope and across the river, whilst I put the circular polariser in, I forgot to turn the wheel at the side, so part polarised and part not, but not the end of the world.
It must be difficult working with the type of dog though that typically never sits at peace in a location like that.
Thank you for the kind words! That sounds like a great experience and one I am sure you will learn from in regard to the polarising filter 🙈
It can be difficult yes but that's where knowledge of the dog breed and traits as well as being able to give clear directions to the owner/handler come into play 🤓
@@ThatPhotographySpot thank you, yeah, I'm probably going to have to bide my time and learn from experience with the nature of the different dogs so I can see your point. Your own dog is so very well trained. I would imagine for certain dogs in places like that you may need the owner and dog leash.
What a wonderful & brilliant video, full of useful tips. I’m sure you are reading my mind, I wanted to go scouting near where I live in search of… waterfalls 😅 would you recommend using any app in particular ?
Thank you for your kind words 🙂 What kind of app do you mean?
Thanks for the tips. What lens did you use for the example photos of the dogs in the video? They looked great.
All 70-200 2.8 GM 😊
Hello from Sweden :) Do you have any online courses? I would like to learn to edit dog pictures "your way" - lovely pictures!
Hey Jessica, we have many online courses and also a premium membership. For more information head over to www.thattogspot.com 🙂
Thanks so much! I love taking my dogs to waterfalls. So, is the last shot with the long exposure a composite?
No worries! The last shot is indeed a composite, it would be next to impossible for it not to be 😂
@@ThatPhotographySpot oh, but could do it, you can do anything! 🤣 Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and photos. I wish I lived in the UK so I could take a workshop with you.
Oh my goodness, I thought I'd already watched this because of the red line down the bottom of the thumbnail but it's only been out for an hour! Now that I think of it, I haven't seen any of these in a while, I think I may have missed a few videos... 😳
I can see how that could be confusing and have made a note for when we make the thumbnails going forward! 🤓
Are you doing 2 shots for the long exposures to get the dog sharp? One with and one without the subject?
Yeah, 1 shot for the dog and then a long exposure 🤓
May be a dumb question but when you take the second shot without the dog and owner, how do you get the same exact look as you did with the dog in it? My camera immediately focuses on the background and it changed how it looks. Even when I slow how fast it focuses.
You need to use back button focus and make sure that you don't reset the focus point
Thanks for this Jess - I was just wondering why the link goes to the 82mm filters for the 70-200mm lens? Is that filter size more versatile? Thank you ❤️
Get the largest filter size you own, then get a set of stepping rings to convert those filters to your other lenses - my 24-70 is 82mm, so I have filters for that thread, then use stepping rings to fit to my other lenses. Here are the stepping rings: bit.ly/3JlRF68
