Hi everybody, I'm still a bit new here. Dog pictures can be posted here I guess?
Shiva is the dog of my son and friend. Shiva had some major operations on hips and legs. She is fine now.


Amazing how she liked the ice cold water

Begging for a cookie


This indoor shot was done with an omnibounce diffuser

Thanks Andy, as always a pleasure meeting you. I really like this place. Everywhere moderators to take care of us, hehe.

this is my forum and I say that all doggies.. I repeat all doggies are welcomed, loved and respected in this forum.. even if they border on ugly.. which no doggie does in actual fact..

The last two are just super dog portraits. My dog (and teenagers) heads for the hills when I get out the camera and I've never done as well. I think she hates the flash and associates it with the camera even when there is no flash on it (after all, what can you expect...) The teenagers, on the other hand, just don't like the pictures I take of them.

#3 looks oversharpened to me, especially the blak area just to the left of her tounge. (Maybe she was just eating dirt or something.) Perhaps you need a little lighter hand with USM (or whatever you used) and then use the sharpen tool just on the catchlight in her eye. Another option would be to USM in CMYK and don't sharpen the black channel. It's hard to say without seeing the original.

My dog is a black lab and that black fur can really be postprocessing headache.

Wel she is my avitar. I'll try to dig up a few good ones of her, but I've already shared most of them.

Hi John, thanks for your comments. About the USM. Yes, she had sand in her mouth. Also she was wet. I did USM 200 0,5 0. One other thing, it's a crop of this picture which comes straight from the cam. The trick of CMYK sharpening is smart. I did not know that yet.

Thanks. Woo, I looked at your website. You got ton's of dog pictures. I like the action shots esp. Can't do that with the 828 that well.

I shot this one this weekend at the race track while shooting the karts running. This dog had been happy and energetic all morning and wouldn't sit still, but when it's owner went out on the track it had this longing look in it's eyes as it stared at the track and didn't move.

edit, don't you hate it when you screw up your own link.

Nice shot, that's the moment! I would do a crop and some level adjustment. My 2ct. You captured a sweet moment there.

I don't have photochop loaded at the moment, I'll do so when I get it loaded.

Steve,
Yep, she is a GR. Alot slimmer, well for one thing I know that they look very good after Shiva with her food. And she gets her exercise with walks.
Thanks for stopping by. I enjoy your work as well!
