Well, I'm still taking dog pictures. I gave you all a long break but felt compelled to share my latest. It was shot at a dog show so problematic lighting conditions go without saying. Tonka sm.jpg This is Tonka Toy. No joking that's his name. He's the sire of my two Berners. His owner complimented m...

Not a great picture, but every tree contest needs a divi divi tree. Mike

It's great to have a challenge again. I have some great ideas, hopefully at least one of them will work.

Aster,

My camera is gathering dust and it's a least partially your fault as I've had nothing to challenge me.

How about a new challenge?

JB, It's in Virginia, near Harrisonburg. Yildiz, Thanks, just imagine how much fun it was to play with the four of them. Questa was defiantly my favorite, here she is helping me with my shoe laces. Help with my shoes.jpg But, Deb fell in love with the big boy of the litter, Quito. Big Boy Quito.jpg ...

My wife and I had the pleasure of spending Sunday on a friends' farm. It's a working farm, they raise Angus Cows and Bernese Mountain Dogs. The mother of our two dogs recently had another litter which was seven weeks old. It was a blast to play with the puppies and take some pictures. My favorite wa...

Motor, It sounds like you are not shooting in high enough resolution in jpeg. What "Image size" is your a700 set to? As Tom pointed out, for a 4" x 6" at 300 dpi the resolution of the picture needs to be at least 1200 x 1800. The dpi saved in the xref data is really immaterial. W...

Cute puppy, his ears are still too big for his body! IMO dogs make great subjects as they never complain.

I would like to take credit for making the cake but by cooking skills are more or less confined to Microwaveable Beefaroni and steaks on the grill. My sister in law made the cake.

Not a great picture, but I hate having a challenge without many posts.
What? Everyone doesn't make Birthday Cakes for their dogs?

Kevin,

As soon as I saw the drawing, before reading your text, I thought to myself, "Calvin and Hobbes," my all time favorite cartoon. I ordered one and look forward to getting it.

....how'd she do? Fourth out of eight in 12 to 18 month Bitches. There is some tough competition at the Specialty Shows and she was the youngest in her class having just turned a year old this month. It's cool to see a room with 100 Bernese Mountain Dogs. Here is a fun picture while getting ready. ...
