What the heck? A few more photos….

Just got done with all of my backing up of image files. I haven’t done a final image count but the total size is over 75 gigabytes. For those who don’t know a gigabyte from a gigolo … well, there is a difference.
I just re-read my last post and realized that I should [...]

What the heck? I went to the Nationals….

and all I got was 6 Beauty of the Beast T-shirts, 2 long sleeves, and 1 fleece jacket…..
Wow! We are currently on the New Jersey TP and according to the GPS unit, we should be at home by 530pm today. For all others traveling home or going to Chatanooga for the Terv Nationals, be [...]

ABMC Nationals Day 1 [Tuesday]

Not much to write…actually, not too much energy left to write. But, I must comment that Day 1, even with the monsoon like weather we received, ran very smoothly. Here are a few pics from that day

What the heck? Be Careful for what you wish….

Well, it is Day One on the great trip to the nationals adventure…..and I’m stuck in traffic. It rained the entire way and an 8 hour trip ending up taking close to 11….but we’re here! Unfortunately, when its raining this much, there isn’t a whole lot to take photos of….
Beginnings of the trip!

We’re behind schedule!

Mixed Bag

Terriers, Tervs, and Laekens….

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,

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!]. [...]

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].

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, [...]

A few from the archives……

Every week, I take a four hour train ride one way that allows me to re-visit old pics.   These are a few that I found that I really enjoyed.

Kubota and Totally Rad Actions

if you aren’t using Kevin Kubota’s actions or Totally Rad Actions from the Boutwell’s, then you are just wasting your time. Not a lot of money and it allows you to run standard workflow adjustments and then top it off with a nice action.
