Location Scouting (Finchampstead)

I one hundred percent prefer to take photos at a location the dog & owner are comfortable with. So I usually check out a location before any meet up.

Here is an insight showing how I do this & how I usually end up covered in dirt or mud.

If I don't have Loki with me, then I use my backpack as a focal point to test out some spots at a location. And often get very odd looks from the people passing me by!

I'll look for spots with a good clear background and good light source. And where I will need to position myself and the dog.

These photos are from a walk around California Country Park, Finchampstead near Aborfield/Wokingham. Another great place to take a walk.
