What the heck? On a train to Connecticut…

Well, I’m not really on a train to CT but I wish I were.  Its Sunday evening and I’m on my way to work in PA.  It sucks.  Big time.  BIG TIME.
But I’m keeping my chin up because in one week, I’ll be heading up to CT for the ABMC Nationals. I know that there [...]

Mixed Bag

Terriers, Tervs, and Laekens….

Some select images from today’s show. I shot wayyyy more than I expected but I couldn’t stop once I got started.

Off to a show tomorrow

I’m off to another show tomorrow and taking Tammy-whammy with me. Should be fun and I’m going to try to snap pics of other dogs while there - some for ads and some for my personal collection. I will share more before the weekend is up.
Found an image of a blackdog whilst perusing some of [...]

Another example of post processing…

A slight grungy, glowey, dark image of a dog attacking the weave poles.

What the heck is “Post Processing”?

I’m sometimes asked about “what do you do after you take the photo” and what equipment do you use?
The first question entails the “before and after” [photos below for visual explanation].
Image capture: The first 50% of the final image is made up of setting up the shot, understanding your lighting, adjustments for conditions, positioning, [...]

CVAC Saturday Freebies

Well, they are all in black and white or some subtle shade. Sorry but 80% of these would be embarrassing to print and would be a waste of your money to pay me for only to get the bad news.
So….here are some freebies - close to 300.
Enjoy! And remember, “USE BUT DON’T ABUSE”!
Regards,

Sleepy day at the homestead….

Slow day at home…..Spring break isn’t all that its cracked up to be

My Asia Ba-Dasia [or is that really Asia Bad-Asia?]

Miss Asia trying to figure out what daddy is doing with that camera!

Blast from the past….

Two more one off freebies

*ALL OF THE FREEBIES AT THIS LINK*
Yeah, I’m not sure if that makes sense. Basically, I get bored, examine photos and then process them. Here’s another black and white [ooooh, how dramatic] and one with pumped up color [something I'd never recommend to print but "different" to look at]
If these are your dogs, feel [...]

License Plates and Freebies

I’ve been emailed quite a few times ’bout my Saturday Freebie teaser…Yes, they are still coming but I’m still trying to pay some bills with Sunday’s pictures. Although, this isn’t my livelihood I still need to recoup some costs [personal, gas, food, and one crinkled up canopy which was a victim of the high winds!]. [...]

Flock!

Just ran into a brand new browser that is just kick A$$.  If you blog as I do, or maintain a few different websites, this is just a KILLER application. It allows you to create blog entries from within a browser and submit it to your blog without having to log in. And, you can [...]

Clear and Free…

CVAC Sunday Pictures are Posted

Please feel free to ask questions BEFORE you purchase. Your questions might range from “zooming” or cropping to enhancing the color. Yes, I do all of that stuff before I send it off to the print lab but I do not do it BEFORE hand. Just way too many pictures to process [...]

CVAC Update

Still sorting through the good and bad. I have finished weeding through Sunday’s pics and I think there are a few keepers. I’m posting one - not because its a great agility shot but its a great DOG photo. I tweaked the color a bit and added some additional depth of field [blur].
Be looking for [...]

What the heck? You must be in pictures……

I’m on a train headed up to Wilmington, DE….Train coffee is better than hotel coffee though.  Its Maxwell house fresh out of the industrial brewer but the key word is “fresh”. A few dozen creamettes and I’m fixed up to go.
So, I’ve had more time to think lately.  Mostly because I’ve forced myself back into [...]

CVAC NADAC Trial

Written: Monday, March 10
I’ve started to receive a few inquiry emails about the trial. Thanks for the “thank you’s” - it was my pleasure. Through conversations, some of you realized that this is not my household supporting vocation. I wish it was at times but its not. Currently, as I write, [...]

What the heck? I’m just sexy, I guess….

Had an excellent breakfast this morning….NOT. McDonald’s McSkillet burrito might be filling but its still not good food.
So, we drove to a dear friends house today to visit with her dogs and to bring our co-owned bitch for a visit. Of course, I brought my camera and shot close to 800 pics.
Slow day in [...]

Sunday, Bloody Sun-daaaay!

Ok, today is really Saturday but I had U2 on the mind.
Ran across a few cool things that I’d like to share.
