Na San, 8 months and 12 lbs heavier (68 lbs) after we adopted him.

/resized-image.ashx/__size/700x0/__key/CommunityServer-Discussions-Components-Files/15/5545.Na-San-posing.jpg

When we adopted him we knew he had heartworm and would need treatment over a 6 month period.....well yesterday we rec'd great news....he's heartworm free!!

Pardon the electrical box in the background....he doesn't like his pic taken and wouldn't hold still in a good area of our backyard....he's concentrating on a squirrel and was ignoring me when I took this pic.

Thanks for looking

well yesterday we rec'd great news....he's heartworm free!!

WooHoo!!! That is reason to celebrate! From what I hear, the treatment is pretty tough to get through and I applaude you for still adopting him knowing the tough 6 months that lied ahead! The world needs more people like you![Y] [Y]Absolutely beautiful dog BTW!

Nice image and great job with the dog Bill. Chows tend to ignore you most of the time anyway, don

Thanks Denise and Steve....he's a great dog and he deserved a chance. I'll stop here before I get up on my soap box.

In the 25 years we've been adopting (5) Chows Steve, it's been the (2) females that required the attention, i.e. being near you for some scratchings. Whereas the males just need to be in the same room and you go to them to scratch them....but we know they enjoy our fussing. [:)]

All we did was pay the bill, Na San did the hard work. [:P]

Thanks for looking

Hi Bill

Late to the story, but great for you guys!! Hard work will always pay off....not sure for who, though!! You or the dog!!

Thought I would post a shot of Rajah, looking her best, actually!!

Nice shots, David! They are two awesome looking dogs but if I ever own another, I would love to have one that looks just like Zuni!

DavidEccleston

05-22-2011, 12:59 AM

Not sure how well everyone knows their breeds, so I'll just mention what she is. She's an Australian Shepherd. The mixed coloring pattern is referred to as a Blue Merle. There are also Red Merles. The merle coloring is genetic, and it's dangerous to breed two merles together. So, you'll breed a merle and a non-merle, and hope that some puppies will be merles. I think there are two or three breeds that get merle patterns, so you may be able to find something more sedate than an Aussie.

In the first week we had her, atleast a half-dozen people ask us where we found a breeder that would let us keep the tail. Most breeders will clip the tails off of Aussies, and in many countries you can't show an Aussie that doesn't have a clipped tail, but we don't care about showing her. So where did we get her? My wife's best friend happens to breed them. She's in Poland, and we're in Canada. Over the New Year's Holidays, my wife flew over to pick up Zuni's brother, changed her mind, and came home with Zuni.

I have send this picture to a Dutch stockphoto site, but they said the exposure was to dark.

I like the picture as well, but I see that the next time I have to look more closely. If I had do take it again, I would have removed the collar

I'll be the first to admit that this isn't a good photo by any means but that's not the point of this one. Getting all three of my dogs in the same photo is a rare occasion but having them all looking at me at the same time when I have a camera in my hand instead of a treat is something that never happens!

Most of you know I'm VERY new to using photoshop. I used this photo and another to practice merging two together and I was pretty proud that I was able to do it and have it actually work!! Granted, if I would have used a tripod, it would have worked out better. But at least now I know I don't have to throw the photos away anymore when they don't all look at the camera!

We are celebrating for it's the first time in his 4 yrs. of life that he is on no meds or daily shots for his severe allergies and has no fur missing anywhere from scratching and biting his skin raw constantly!!!!

I couldn't help sharing this one, just because it's so cute.

Not my dogs, they belong to the neighbour of my Auntie in Holland (English Mastiffs, only 1 of 2 shown, they weigh 200kg together).

The lady is her daughter in law (my cousin's wife). And on her lap is her ~10 month old daughter (who is also the cutest thing ever).

Too bad it was shot with my P&S, so not the best IQ, but i love the shot for the pose...

They are Speckled King snakes. Not venomous. These little guys will strike at you but its kind of funny. They are all about to shed their first skin so they are on the grumpy side. After they shed I can hopefully give them their first meal. Might let them go back into the wild after the first feeding. May hang onto one as a pet.

Not my dog, belonged to a friend of my dad's cousin i met last weekend at their housewarming. Came from Holland, spent a month or two in aussie customs quarantine to get her into the country, but the friendliest little thing i'd ever seen (i normally prefer big dogs, but i'll make an exception for this one).

Apparently she'd just won a 'cutest dog' competition run by the local newspaper, not hard to see why...

Nice work Denise.

Hey Brant, you know how pugs are little self conscious about the fact that they don't have a nose. (compared to Denise's dog and my pointy nosed little ones)

Well I was just wondering, if your dog doesn't have a nose.......... how does it smell???
<div style="CLEAR: both"]</div>

Ha! I am pretty sure her pushed in nose just makes her feel closer to being a human...........and it works just fine, I know every time I open a new bag of treats.............

Not my pet, but it escaped from one of our neighbours (or they released it on purpose) a few years ago, and it's taken up residence in the drain between our block and the neighbours.

I think it's a Bluetongue Lizard, not a sleepy lizard, i'll try get a shot of him opening his mouth one day...

Beautiful cat pictures! I have a hard time balancing everything when I shoot my black dog but you sure did everything perfect here!

Thanks. It is tough to get the exposure right with him. Luckily, he didn't move too much. (He turned around after too many flashes.) I figured the separation flash would definehis outline -- power is too high. And, I got lucky with the key flash (tweaked with DPP) for just enough fur detail while the rest is blurred.

I usually have to overexpose the background to get good dur detail, like this one.

You can find lots of other cheap and easy ideas on the web if you google for home-made agility equipment or pvc agility if you choose to use pvc pipes to make it.

In order to keep this post true to the topic I'm adding a photo of our crazy Zuni over a home-made jump set at a "baby" height. ;-)

My gf's sister's dog. Normally I really hate little dogs (this guy's body is the size of my auntie's dog's head), but Chico is so well behaved and cute and actually smart for something with a brain the size of a walnut (beats some humans I know). And he was named after candy.

This one was kinda blurry because it was indoors and he was running, but I quite like the effect with the streaming hair (and it looks a lot better shrunk down this size).

Agreed, one of the best shots and cutest dogs i've seen...

Here's one of mine from this morning, 4 new 'pets' in on photo!
2 chooks, and the EF 85/1.8 and Speedlite I used to take the shot.
The chooks were a day old or so when we got them on monday, I think they've nearly doubled in size since then. So far they're living in a cardboard box, and they've almost mastered jumping up to the perch I set up for them.

With times being as tight as they are I had to pick up an extra gig on the weekends hopefully just for the holidays. I'm the pet photographer at Petco for the Pets Unleashed photo company. Things I said I would never do have come to light. I haven't worked an eight hour day like the ones I did last week in a long time. At least I don't have to use my own equipment.

Dr Croubie

11-19-2011, 11:00 PM

What's that rule about not working with children or pets?
Set up the whole thing properly beforehand, with the camera on the tripod with the cable-release, manual focussed. With the speedlite on the side pointing at the exact-right spot on the ceiling, with the right ratio of onboard:speedlite. With the aperture perfect to get the right DOF on the subject and blurry-enough background. Even with a bit of food hidden to keep her occupied and interested while I snapped away.

...

and then the stupid thing just wouldn't hold still in the pose I wanted.

edit: and that really does look a lot fuzzier than on my comp, even the shrunk version. Guess i'm going to have to figure out how to get a flickr...

Not sure if it counts, but it's certainly not fair, you get a much wider range of potential subjects :P
I've got no dog, my favourite one is on the other side of the world (my auntie's 65kg st bernard, 6-year-old puppy).
There's a dedicated dog-park around the corner from me, I was going to try copy Denise's idea and go there with my camera, maybe try take some shots to sell to the owners. But now it's full of earthmoving machinery, not sure what's going on there, but no dogs.

ps, Denise, love the spaniel. Has anyone else seen the movie 'Fluppy Dogs'?

dd - I am fortunate in that regard aren't I?

conropl - I love this lens... I wanted the 85mm f/1.2 L II, but it was a bit too much. As it turns out the 50mm is perfect focal length in my exam rooms. I rented an 85 f/1.2 and had to back out of the room on most every shot.

LOL! All three of my dogs are males & Lucky (my cocker above) has the same sweater on! I'm not one of those crazy ladies that puts clothes on their dogs all the time but yes when I do, they would rather run and hide under the bed rather than have the other dogs see them!!

WooHoo!! Lucky's picture above (the cocker spaniel in the red sweater) won Pet of the Month for PetMeds and they will be putting his photo on their websites in France, Germany and the UK!! I also won a£25/€25 discount voucher but since it is not in dollars and they don't ship to the US, I can't use it ...but it is the thought that counts!! Lucky's birthday is next week and it would have bought a nice birthday present! Congrats to me :)

Here a few from inside our lounge room, the dogs obviously have the run of the place and they all love to snuggle, even when it is hot in summer. The top spot is the sheepskin rug on the top of Janelle's chair.

The low-light setting on the S95 has some pretty serious noise reduction. It sort of makes the image look like HDR.

That's a really nice shot of a very proud looking dog, just a little bit too small to see properly.

This is Juno, my first post here as I'm just getting into photography, right now it's still full auto and hope for the best, but in time and from reading here hopefully I'll get decent pictures not just by accident.

Nice Keeshond. Welcome to the forum.

The introduction of 8 week old Bo Jangles the Ragdoll kitten is progressing very smoothly. My wife would totally disagree with this statement, but she is slowly coming around.
Please meet Bo Jangles

But are you sure the dog isn't jumping up to check out the chick wearing not-much like in those other photos?

Well spotted Doc, but no, he is definitely only interested in the pussy-cat.

Very handsome boys Denise, great shots.
Took the young Bo Jangles out in the yard, but didn't let him run around on the grass, I want to keep him as an inside cat, if possible.

And the equally handsome Leroy Brown who went to the vet two days before this and had 17 teeth removed. Shouldn't have let it go that long, but had no idea it was that bad. He still has plenty of teeth and will make a full recovery and apparantly his gums will harden up very quickly and he will be chewing the hard stuff soon.

@Steve - Bo has the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen on a kitty! Poor Leroy Brown :( I'm in the same situation with my Cocker ...he doesn't like chewing on hard nylabones or anything so his teeth are not in the best of shape! Now I'm headed over to flickr to see what you used for these sharp shots!!

@Kombi - Welcome to the forums!! Love the captions with the photos! These are very sharp also! What combo did you use?

Thank you for the welcome.

I have a canon EOS t2i, still playing more than anything, the bottom 2 pictures were when my extension tube showed up, so was trying budget macro on anything and everything around the house.

Nice B&W and perfect focus on the eye. I don't know whether the bokeh makes it look angelic, or confused. LOL, you know like those stars above the coyotes head when the roadrunner drops an anvil on him.

02-15-2012, 08:04 PM

Steve, Yeah, at first I really didn't like the photo. Those are actually lights from a christmas tree in the background. After I B&W'd it I liked it more. I still find the lights distracting, but not as much as when they were multi-colored. I'm still torn between whether or not the lights are too distracting or add to the overall picture in a positive way...

Thank you! And yes I did. I shot in raw and ramped up the exposure and set the blacks to 0 (I probably did some other stuff too, but those were the most important) to give the black cat some sort of discernible texture, this resulted in the rest of the image becoming overexposed and washed out. I then opened the image as a smart object (hold Alt in Adobe camera raw), made a copy via smart object, then re-opened the copy in camera raw and adjusted it the way I wanted it. I rasterized both layers and then used a mask to lightly brush shadow detail into the black cat.

It sounds like a lot of effort for very little visible effect... and you'd be right! But black fur is such a pain to shoot.
