Nikon D7000 w/AF-S Nikkor 28-300 mm f/3.5-5.6 vrII lens @ 150mm, hand held
ISO Equivalent 400; f/7.1, 1/1,000sec; uncompensated Matrix Metering
PP: PS CS5 levels, curves and SH (to try to diminish the effects of the harsh sun), and modest crop
PPP: PS CS5 watercolor filter w/fairly strong crosshatch brush stroke
In this image I present Ruby, a fawn Doberman Pinscher puppy aged 10 months who is the latest in a series of rescue dobies that Linda and I have welcomed into our home. Here, Ruby is shown doing what she loves most -- running in our pasture to retrieve balls.
My decision as to which post-processing techniques I would use for this weekly theme was really based upon two primary considerations. First, Ruby attacks life and everything she does with intensity and gusto. Her eyes demonstrate this. Secondly, Ruby carries out the Doberman tradition of being very, very fast! Her ears were never cropped to make them stand up. But they do so here because of her speed and enthusiasm.
To capture these attributes of Ruby, I wanted something that a paint brush artist might produce to capture the essence of Ruby. So this is my image of Ruby for you.
