teekay Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Thought I would share this link here. Some stunning photos. I particularly like the one of the Husky and reflection. Gorgeous. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2212291/Kennel-Club-Dog-Photographer-Year-Amazing-pictures-years-contest.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazyWal Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Fantastic photos! I can't pic a fave, love them all. Thanks for sharing. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) Lovely photos but, does anyone else think the husky reflection might be photoshopped? Wouldn't the reflection show more of the underneath of the dog, to me that looks just like the top photo turned upside down. It's effective but I think it's been manufactured. Call me a skeptic I dont care. Edited October 10, 2012 by Kirislin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Are You Serious Jo Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I think you are right, the edges of the puddle don't look right either so I think it's been heavily shopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piper Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Lovely photos. I agree about the husky photo though, there is something not quite right in that one. I read some of the comments and funnily enough they seemed to think the border collie in classic working mode in a paddock that won was photoshopped? Looks just like a herding shot to me and has probably had no more than a sharpen, crop, colour tweak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teekay Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Just gone back and had another look at the husky one. I see what you mean about the edges of the water Jo, something doesn't quite look right. Shame. I actually love the photo without the refection. Don't particularly like the Border Collie overall winner though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumCorner Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Is it just me or are a lot of the photos just not that great? I've seen better from a few of our talented DOLers. Understand Snook, but I wouldn't take anything away from them. The difference is that the winners got off their butts and entered the competition against thousands of entries. It was open free entry and well advertised, and last year's winners are on Flickr to give an idea of the standard. http://www.flickr.com/photos/thekennelclub/sets/72157627675892818/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I liked the border collie one, I thought it was a great angle, I love getting down low to photograph dogs, it's just that I personally find it very difficult to do, without making lots of moaning and groaning noises. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huga Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Is it just me or are a lot of the photos just not that great? I've seen better from a few of our talented DOLers. I thought the same. The focus on the first annoys the hell out of me :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Are You Serious Jo Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Is it just me or are a lot of the photos just not that great? I've seen better from a few of our talented DOLers. Yeah, but I wasn't going to be the first to say something :laugh: I wonder how widely it was advertised? The border collie was probably shot with a very angle lens.

Kirislin Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Maybe you guys should enter it next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't particularly like the Border Collie overall winner though. There are some ripples on the water, but not on the reflection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piper Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I'm glad to know I'm not alone in my opinion. :laugh: Nope not alone. I thought there were some very good photos there, I dont know if I would have called some of them GREAT photos though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumCorner Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 .... I wonder how widely it was advertised? The border collie was probably shot with a very angle lens. heh heh - you mean wide or very wide? (I think just slightly wide and in close but it's guesswork without knowing the crop). Advertising - I think most photographers who enter comps search them out - google photographic competition they are there, add subject wildlife for instance they pop up - in the UK it was in the papers, Kennel Club website, Flickr threads etc. (Entry form fine print indicates where publishing rights and copyright are required, or retained by photographer etc).

PossumCorner Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Having said that, our local Ag Show has a good photography comp, entries close tomorrow, and dumbo thought it was closing date next week. So I've missed out, I haven't the energy to get something ready and drive into town to get printed, and matt it, and take to the Comp organiser tomorrow. I'll go along on Show Day just to make myself feel worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
