Five dogs and a sleeping baby... all in the park

Nytmair · Feb 16, 2005

For my digital photo class my teacher wanted us to get some shots of strangers... and for me that's pretty hard since I'm a pretty shy person.... but I was walking around a park about 10 mins from my house and saw about 15 dogs running around... so I built up the nerve and went up to see if I could take some pics of them and thier dogs. The pictures of the people aren't that great, but I liked the ones I managed to get of the dogs...but they never stood still!! so it was kinda tought to get good ones.

And the sleeping baby

You did a great job on this series. I really like the last one of the sleeping child.

ha, i wouldn't go THAT far... but thanks a lot! These definitely required some PS work though with the white balance and such... but I guess that's why digital is so great :mrgreen:

Very nice series. My favourite is also the 3rd one.

That is the thickest dalmatian I have ever seen (and no, we have none at the fire hall, but I have the cutest black lab at home). It is obviously mixed breed, but rarely to mixes keep such a strong dalmatian colour pattern.

thanks, the golden in the 3rd photo was 13 years old and all the others were trying to get him to play, but he just walked slowly and sat between his owners legs, or a few times when i was kneeling down he walked over and sat by my... very nice dog

also, my favorite picture is the 5th one, i wish it was a little better technical wise, but I like it becuase it's was the biggest dog there sniffing the smallest dog there. and that dog was huge!!
