Sydney Schnauzer

[DJW]

At request of DigitalFailure who just got one of these, here's Sydney at 1 year old. Shot last night in shade of garden.

& lastly with our other dog....Jasper the Boxer.....desperately wanting the ball

suberp Dave, really good first shot and the last is also fantastic

 

[Ally]

great shots the 3rd one does it for me

 

[Warspite]

All look good, work very well in B&W, I think my favourite is #3 - but to be honest they all look great as an illustration of different compositions and styles

 

[P-E]

Love the 3rd one ......poor old Jasper.

 

[DJW]

Well Sydney (although a girl) likes to mount Jasper when he is laid down , round his kneck & then give him a right good bonking .....hilarious to watch.. have to try & capture on the camera , as she has her head back, showing that darn Jasper who's boss

 

[P-E]

I think I get the picture Dave

We invested in some pro trimmers to keep main coat short, as doesn't a Groom cost around £25 ? Must admit they look good when they come back though

I like them alot mate, super job.

Did you do much adjustment with levels etc?
I really struggle with B&W shots, well tbh a bit pants at it at times, lol.
Any tips you fancey throwing my way.

 

[DJW]

From memory it was :-

- From RAW choose WB of Shade, then tweak exposure line if required.
- A Channel Mixer conversion to Monochrome with 40% Red & 60% Green (play with mix to your liking).
- I always look at levels to see if left & right can be pulled in if required (eg to start of curves). Note with Mono you can get away pulling sliders past start of curves for more dramatic blacks & whites.
-Then just slight sharpen.....although using the 50mm f1.8, it's so sharp , very little had to be done.

we are lucky enough to have a groomer who works from the vets where she's registered, £20 for the works!

with luck they'll clip her teeth as well as her claws....might stop the biting!! :d

 

[Agro]

Great shots and lovely in B&W. 1 and 3 if I had to choose, although in 3 perhaps a little more focus on the rear dog?:shrug:
