DF Dogs

[slartibartfast]

Instead of everyone creating a separate thread for their dogs I thought it might be neater to have one for everyone to post their dog pics in.

Here's one I took recently of my Japanese Akita. His muzzle's going a bit grey now but it's not quite as bad as it looks in the photo. Obviously wide angle lenses aren't flattering for dogs either.


Canon 10D + Tokina 17mm. 1/90sec f3.5 @ ISO 400

Has anyone ever seen that dog poster where the photos are looking down at the dogs face and taken with a fisheye lens? quite a cool effect

[denny]

nice shot and a lovely looking dog. my friend had a Japanese Akita it was well big looked like a grizzly bear on all fours

[Little John]

The effect is available as an action for PS from a site linkthat the god posted ages ago, I have it installed but never really managed to get a photo where it is worth using yet

Ok here you go.

Spoiler:

This was the original image before I decided to add the out of bounds bit.



I selected the bottom part of the border with the rectangular marquee tool and then right clicked and used Layer Via Cut to move it to a new layer.

Then using the move tool I shifted it up a bit to where I wanted it and re-cropped the image.



In the layers palette I created a layer mask for the new layer and then used a soft edged black brush to erase the border and make it look like the dogs muzzle was outside the frame.



Here's another, slightly more comprehensive tutorial.

There's a whole series of them called The Dog, click the pic below.



I've got the Bull Terrier calendar. Perfect dog for a fisheye lens because of their enormous nose.
