Hi, I'm new to this forum and wanted to ask a question regarding this topic.
I take photos for a rescue group and usually end up with less than great conditions. In this photo I used an external flash because it was so dark and my camera is not good in low light or high iso settings. We were between T storms and didn't have the luxury of rescheduling.
I'm not sure what caused such a high contrast with the dog. It really doesn't look too natural. Could you tell me what causes this?
