We're Walking...

Fluffy Henry
Henry: "I don't know Momma, there isn't much room."

Plenty of room, Henry.

Just give it a try.


We're Walking
Henry: "Ooooh… going to hit my nose."

No you aren't.

Look for the Cookie.


We're Walking
Henry: "Cookie!"


We're Walking
(chomp!)


Dog Blog Post #1428



The boys are about 5 feet from tip of nose to tip of tail. My backdrop is 6 feet wide. My kitchen is a generous 8 feet wide.

That means getting a shot of the boys Walking across the available space showing off their Tail is a bit of challenge.

These shots were obtained by putting them in a sit in the far left corner, and dropping Cookies in the far right corner (where I was standing, smushed up against the cabinets to avoid being in the shot).

In a few cases, a bit of cloning to extend the backdrop in the upper right corner or erase my foot from the lower was required.

FWIW: The last photo (below) is of Zachary in pretty much the same position as Henry (directly above) and the neatness of Zachary's coat compared to "Bed Head" above should be pretty obvious.

Zachary Can Walk, Too


Mr. Zachary
Zachary: "I don't know what the pup is fussing about."


We're Walking
(gulp!)


Zachary tends to carry his tail low and gently swishing, making the shot above rather unusual.

I'm not sure why he carries it low when walking, as he is perfectly capable of flying it high and does so when excited or giving alarm at the door.

Monday Mischief


Henry's sure almost running into a cabinet is more than enough mischief for a monday.

Dog Blog Post #1427



Welcome to my "studio" (aka Kitchen) in exactly the spot where almost all my pictures are taken, only today without a backdrop.

Yes, my dogs, my floors, and my cabinets are all the same color - which is why you will almost never see my "studio" without a backdrop!

That was, Zachary, making faces while I toss him Cookies.

Here is Henry, NOT making faces…


Henry
Henry: "Cookie please."

… as it's waaaaaaaay to much effort to try to catch the Cookies, and if he sits there long enough looking adorable he knows I'll just hand one to him anyway.

Yup, he has me well trained.

Now, you tell me which dog is smarter?

I freely admit it - I love seeing the boys in a Fedora, and adore taking these sorts of pictures.

The boys always seem to get into it, and we all have a great time.

Detective Zachary
Zachary: "What's my motivation?"

Models.

This is what all the shots in this series basically looked like before I turned them B&W and pushed a few extra sliders.
