Greetings folks! Thought that I would share a few shots with ya all that, while may be older, were just recently all processed this AM. This is my dog Klaus, and all were captured in my backyard in a snowstorm on my Minolta 5D using a 18-70 Minolta DT Lens. All processed from RAW and converted using the Fotomatic B&W plugin, light use of LucisArts in Photoshop. Thoughts welcomed!

    Wonderful Photos. I love German Shephards. Why don't you let the poor thing in the warm house? They are all great shots so I can't tell you which one I like the best.

    Nice shots of one of my favorite breeds, but the look on Klaus' face suggests he is weighing unwavering loyalty to the photographer against being inside a warm house.

    I have a german shepherd living next door to me, and I tell you he is the best dang watch dog out!

    I feed him dog treats every day before I go to work, and he goes off his tree if anyone even touches my gate :D

    Hi owners love him dearly, and I do too, because he is such a good watch dog, not only for them but for me too :D

    A beautiful series of a very beautiful dog clap.gif .... Skippy

    Sorry it took me a bit to respond, been real busy shootin! Thanks for the comments! As far as letting him in the house---when it starts snowin' out, he gets real excited, just dies to go out and start a rompin' away in it! He loves the darn stuff! lol
