This was taken at the Halloweiner Picnic, where there were about 700 dachshund owners with their dachshunds.
(post) Two mid 4's in a row. I guess I should try harder. I used the flash because the face was too dark contrasted with the sunlight without flash. It's not a family snapshot, but a person I just met, but still I did ask for the shot before I took it.

Isn't it amazing how owners look like their pets? I know that you engaged the subject for the shot as you used your flash. Not many people shoot outdoors with their flash, but by doing so you minimized the back lighting thus not making them too dark.
I always wonder if the pets get into the costume thing as much as the owners, though I suspect they'll put up with darn near anything to get out of the house. The dog has an appropriately embarassed look, like "It wasn't my idea!!"
