Lucky waiting for Sammy to come play! by Denise Trocio, on Flickr
I just realized this one was also taken with the 100mm IS macro lens, not nearly as good a shot as yours though!
Disagree Denise, that's a lovely shot. You seem to be able to capture so much emotion in your pet shots. Beautiful image, the owner would be proud of this one.:rolleyes:
Well, after nearly 3 months of fostering Ruby (Chow Chow) and her 7 puppies we are nearly puppy less :( :)....I say nearly, for my wife and I officially adopted the last puppy yesterday 3/29/12.

Attachment 731
Penny will now enjoy being with her mother and her new "forever" siblings; Na San (Chow Chow), Maddie (Yellow Lab) and 2 cats; Melvin and Trucker.
Here's my flickr link if you would like to see other pix of the Chow Chow family from day one (some scrolling will be necessary); http://www.flickr.com/photos/29409592@N03/

Congrats on your new four legged family members, Bill.
Congrats Bill, Penny and family!!
My kids refer to that as "agressive hugging". Cute pups!
Nice shots guys, well done Bill.
Here is another of Bo Jangles in the office, f4.0 ISO 1600 1/320 sec. He has a bit of a snotty nose, but he didn't know I was stalking him.

Beautiful shot, Steve! So, has the entire family made a full adjustment to Bo being a part of the clan?
Here's one I took of Lucky a couple months ago but never processed until today while I was waiting for him to come home from the vet ...

Thank you :) I love doing pet photography ...in case you hadn't guessed that already, LOL!
DD, I love this shot---and I especially like your new Logo---It just works.
Bob
Thanks, Bob! It's not really a new logo, it's just his nickname with a little design I threw on there at the end to see how it would look.Quote:

No images of putting Juno in the shower following her river spa treatment, or the trails of mud she left in the shower.
Wow, he's fluffy. Good looking pooch, Kombi!

Great photo David!!
Three in a tree. Second shot is a big crop of the first. Taken with the Rokinon 35mm f1.4, which is surprisingly easy to manual focus on a 7D.

Nice shots, beautiful cat. I like the red and white fur

Old dogs hold a very special place in your heart and today I was thinking about Nala, our Rhodesian Ridgeback.Thinking about her made me find some old poor quality shots of her.
Nala always felt the cold very badly, but she was the warmest thing to snuggle with and the Iggy's used her as a big brown hot water bottle.
Are there perfect dogs?
Who knows?
But we could never have another Ridgeback.
Bella has carried forward this snuggling habit and while she is tiny compared to Nala, we see that sweetness in her that is unmistakeable.

Thanks for viewing.
Steve, these are adorable photos! Nala was obviously a big snuggle bug! My dogs only like to snuggle with humans and Sammy will express his displeasure with a muffled grumble and get up & walk away if one of the dogs gets in his personal space when he is lying down! Buddy & Lucky used to used to snuggle with each other just like yours when they were pups but not so much anymore. But all three play together very well so no complaints!
Here is a shot I took of Buddy yesterday. I tried my best with replacing the background and making it look natural but I'm really struggling with teaching myself how to do this! Especially when there is wispy hair, etc.
If anyone that views this could post a link on the best way to do this using layers or some instructions on what the refine edge settings should be on, it would be hugely appreciated!

Great portrait of Lucky Denise.
Glad Lily won the battle and got wet, my dogs are worse than that with water.
A shot of Bo, he is 6 months now and will be going to the vet this week to get snipped.

Knew a cat, Bo Jangles... by Steve's Life, on Flickr[/img]
Thanks for viewing.
Denise, This is a great portrait of Buddy, One of your best. and.... there is a market for pet photographers---. That said, I think you are taking the wrong approach by removing/replacing backgrounds. Although I love the work that you have done with textures with your macro and flowers, I personally think that no matter how good you are with "selecting in photo shop" that you will eventually leave out those little details that give our pets and people character. Those fly away hairs and other whispy details are so important in portrait photography---especially with pets. My suggestion would be to purchase or manufacture backgrounds and include them in your portrait photos. For other Genres, I am looking forward to any responses you get on this post---selecting a subject in photoshop is a skill that challenges me as well.Quote:
