Difficult Lighting

This week, my homework for photography class was to take pictures of anything dark, and anything against something white. These are common situations that can produce difficult lighting. Who knew? This is one reason why you can't take a good picture on Auto, because your camera perceives these colors as too much light or not enough, and adjusts the light incorrectly. OK, enough of a photography lesson, I am no pioneer woman (although, I wish I was sometimes, she's amazing!!!). My dark subject was, who else, Farley!!! And my other subject was a very cooperative Corky, against a white fence.
