It is a challenge to take pictures of her, that is true. It's a cliche, but black is a very difficult colour to photograph.

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes!! She really enjoyed "her" special day. I think her favourite part was the tuna she had for breakfast.

Nearly belated Happy Birthday Esme,think you deserve some more tuna x

Hope I'm not too late! Happy Birthday, Esme!

If you have Photoshop, you can use the Image > Adjustment > Levels option to bring back details in the black fur. Just experiment with the center slider in the graph.

Below you can see how I managed to somewhat 'rescue' a photo of Monty.

I usually do something similar with Paint Shop Pro, but indeed, it does help a lot with the quality of the pictures. And every now and then I succeed in taking a picture that doesn't need artificial make-over, like the one posted above...
