I have a lot to learn yet and a long way to go but I've come leaps and bounds from yesterday when I first started with this stuff! This is my favorite of my Hallie today, (sky and branches and ornaments were photoshopped in). I didn't have to do anything to Hallie's image though in Photoshop other than sharpen it a bit when I sized it down. She is loving posing for me, she's a little ham!

Merry Christmas everyone!

She is lovely. I haven't had the chance to photograph many Dachshunds - I think I need to make it a new year resolution. I have also been admiring your artwork - especially the blue point Himmy (I used to own one).
Merry Christmas to you too!

Thanks Chezzyr! My world revolves around this kid. She is an awesome little dog, we are inseperable.

Thanks too for the compliments on my art. That is great you used to have a blue point himalayan. I had two half brothers, they are my favorite breed. I just took a peek at your web site (AWESOME photos, you are really good!!!) Is the yawning kitty yours? LOL that is an incredible shot!

Thanks, I am a bit of a dabbler. I see you dabble in cafepress too.

Yes the yawning kitty is my darling Misty who sadly departed this earth a couple years ago at age 14. If I was to ever get another cat I would want a Himmy (in Australia we also call them Colourpoint Persians). They are a great breed!

That is a GREAT shot!!! You did a wonderful job of not making it look photoshopped. I am really impressed

Merry Christmas to you!

What a lovely shot of a charming little girl. And a very Merry Christmas to you.

Great shot. I know what you mean about Doxies being hams. Mine loves to be in the spotlight.

Happy Holidays
Brian

I agree Chezzyr if I got another cat it would undoubtably be a blue point himalayan again as well. They are like squishy teddy bears.

Thank you Julie!! This is a lot more fun even than I thought it would be heh....of course I am not having to learn as fast as you with the big photo shoot you had coming up fast after you got your equipment LOl. I can only imagine the stress that added to the whole thing! You sure came through with flying colors though!

Thank you too Peggysue. I hope you had a Merry Christmas as well!

Brian I think the apt slogan for our doxies would be "will work for food".
