Why Can't We Be Friends

Posted by Twelvebit (Victoria, United States) on 14 October 2007 in Animal & Insect.

Another dog shot from the Austin Town Lake dog and jogging park. The dog on the left --the guy who had him them told me his name but now I've forgotten it-- was very playful and full of energy. He ran from person to person and dog to dog --but mostly dog to dog. Here he is trying to make a new friend with a skeptical stranger.

I love the Husky. Very nice title and beautiful shot.
To answer your question about Nikon software! What did you mean by Filter! The digital one I applied in Photoshop t process the IR or some sort of native filter. I believe the answer going to be know anyways since I have no Nikon soft to begin with.

Hope that answered the question, if there is any more please let me know

@Amir: Damn, I forgot to use the reply icon again. Craig Persel had some particularly beautiful B&W shots and I asked him what conversion process he used. He told me Nik Color Efex 2.0 Pro, which is a plug-in set for Photoshop. I downloaded a demo copy to try it out and noticed it has an IR processor --but I haven't tried it yet. The B&W is a big improvement over what I was using --the channel mixer in Corel Paint (since Photoshop Elements doesn't have a channel mixer)-- because it has controls for protecting the shadow and highlight detail (in Corel it's easy to apply too much correction to a channel and burn out highlights).

Nice shot. Austin's a very fun city. :)

@Carson: Thank you. It's my favorite Texas city by far, and probably the most dog friendly. I don't live there --I think the traffic would drive me nuts if I had to deal with it every day-- but I go there regularly on business and my son is going to UT, Austin.
