I posted mine in the Photo Challenge thread

Thanks! The first one in the grass is mine

I use Photobucket and I constantly find it reduces the quality [colour and sharpness] of my pics. I'm thinking about moving. Where do you all host your pics?

What's out the front of my house? Chopper of course! The only one of the dogs I can trust to stay still and not run away. It was all a bit too interesting though ... looking for pussycats! 1/250 f4.0 ISO 200 Lens 50mm f/1.8 1/640 f4.0 ISO 200 Lens 50mm f/1.8 People walked past as I was taking this pic and were laughing at the stupid face on him 1/500 f4.0 ISO 200 Lens 50mm f/1.8 I refuse to mow the lawn while it's serving as such a good backdrop! 1/1600 f4.0 ISO 200 Lens 50mm f/1.8 1/1600 f4.0 ISO 200 Lens 50mm f/1.8 Mmmm, sun 1/4000 f4.0 ISO 200 Lens 50mm f/1.8

I like early and late too, I just thought overcast was a bit pants. I stand corrected!

I've never really sharpened my pics, what's the process for pics that end up online ultimately? Download > Edit > Resize > Sharpen? What if you want to make the same edits but keep it print quality? Do you end up having a print quality sharpened file and a web quality sharpened file and the original?

I have to wait for it to go in again now cause it's too hot for Chopper so he's making his mouth wide open, eyes closed, panting face! The shadows are pretty harsh too, but I expected that.

Which part of Sydney are you in? There's no sun over here in the eastern suburbs The less salubrious end of the eastern suburbs

It's safe to presume I'm always talking about dog portraits unless I state otherwise It's ok to say that here without appearing to be any more dog crazy than anyone else, right?!

While I was busy procrastinating the sun came out

Really? But there'll be no warmth. Do you add that in post production?

It's so grey here today. I wanted to take pics, but it seems pointless on such a dull day. Is there any point? Any tips on how to take the best pics in bad light?

Name the date You can teach me how to make those lovely leather collars

I get the same lip from Trixie every evening Without fail. The bow turns into a drop, then a crawl, then a frog dog lying on the ground aroo-rooing at me for leaving her all day!

Do you tell him to Puck off?

Where'd he get the name? It's Irish, the name of a Goat http://www.puckfair.ie/

They're great, well done

I thought you were a member of the EDBA Can they not help you out?

Nothing elitist about my club, no applications necessary

Who said anything about an RT?

I'm too busy to read this, but it might be helpful No, we haven't trained the last two weeks, due to rain and I've been sick, hopefully we'll be back on track next week. Why, you coming?

Oh, undoubtedly, I haven't checked yet, but it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest I want to do it right with Trixie though as the stakes are higher. I've been putting it on her in the evenings for the last few days [since K9 threw down the gauntlet ], but I wasn't sure when to start actually training with it. It's probably in his manual, oops

Is there a set amount of time that you should collar condition your dog for to avoid them becoming collar smart?

Yes, I can

It's the dogs, damn them, they're so photogenic but so badly behaved Sorry Kirislin, i aint giving it to no one
