Profile

Christmas Bag


Dog Blog Post #533: Today's Daily Dog Challenge assignment was...

41. Profile - Let's see a side view of your dog's head today.

I love Zachary's profile, especially when he is looking down at something. The way he arches his neck and his ruff sticks out, makes me think of a knight (horse) on a chess set. :)

Christmas Bag


This should have been an easy shoot. I pulled out the backboard and fabric (back in the poorly lit kitchen, as the dining room now houses the tree) then decided to drag a floor lamp in from the study to see if that didn't help the lighting at least a little.

Did it?

Then added a dog, a Christmas bag, and some cookies. Easy, right?

The first thing I discovered is that I didn't have a long enough delay set on the camera - so my first picture came out something like this...

Secret of the Bag


(Well, how would YOU get a dog to look in a bag? I was putting a bowl of cookies in it!)

After I fixed that, the shots with Zachary mainly went off without a hitch.

And Henry? Well.. Let's just say he got off to a rough start, earning him a Mischief Monday Montage all his own...

What's This?


Once we got the kinks worked out of the that I discovered a bit of a flaw in my Perfect Profile Plan...

... it seems that in profile, Henry is All Ears. Oh well, perhaps a 3/4 look suits him better. :)

    Loving how the tip of his tongue sticks out in the top pic! And the mischief montage is great! Top marks for mischief *waggy tail*

    I love how you have matching poses in that one picture! :P I think the pictures turned out really cute, and I agree, that arch to his neck really does make him look regal!
