My First Dawg show...

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

My First Dawg show...

Postby MSF on Thu Jul 17, 2008 8:00 pm

I was commissioned to attend a dog show last weekend and take some photos of the little mutleys

I was pretty happy with the results considering it's a looooong way from my comfort zone of shooting motorsport...

all shots with a 40D and 70-200 2.8 (NON IS) and are straight from the camera, just resized in ACDSee at 65% resolution..

The owners loved them, and have shown all the others in their club and want me to go back and shoot lots more for them... comments and suggestions appreciated...

#2 I think has captured the mutt really well and portrayed his inquisitive nature. Nice photo.

Thanks for the comments,

#2 was just a lucky shot I think - I was standing about 3 Metres away as they were all standing around waiting for their next 'showing' and I just made a "meooow" noise as the dog looked my way.. she must have thought it was dinner time :p

That puppy is only about 8 mths old, so I think it's got a lot to do with the "what's that" look on it's face..

#2 is great, the dog looks like it's posing for you :)! I can never get my dog to look at me long enough to take a good snap, she always runs off when she sees my camera =/
