  1. I can see why they are some of your favorites. Great photos! Love the low angle on Winston. Hope you didn't get wet.

    1. no, i just held the camera down low and aimed it in his direction. i wasn't sure what i was going to get. i don't remember if i had liveview on or not. it's just a different perspective from what i usually do. you can tell i used flash to fill in the shadows a bit, but i think the shadows are a little too obvious. then i started playing around applying different presets to it and i liked how this one came out.

    1. thank you. it's sometimes hard for me to come up with something different for each dog but that's part of the challenge.

    1. thanks, carrie. i could show you all the bad ones because they outnumber the favorites by 100:1. but that would get boring.

  5. All beautiful photos! Do you define your own presets or do you have any that you love from others?

    1. i use presets that come with lightroom and from others. i haven't made any of my own yet. i'll try out various presets and adjust them until i get the effect i'm happy with. i also have lightroom plugins from DxO (FilmPack, Optics Pro, and Viewpoint) that i use.
