Editing Process

Editing Process, I also do pet portraits during these events. Not just the course jumps. First thing first, is the treats to get the dogs attentions.

I must admit though, most of the dogs here are so well behaved, they sit pretty good for their photos.

It takes a lot of work for the owners as well, especially when they want to get all their dogs in the shot. As we both try to get them all to look the same direction for some shots, and preferably their ears forward.

Once we master the look, I take lots of photos. The owners cannot take the collars and ropes off in most cases. We don’t need a loose dog on the grounds, That can be a problem.

So during the editing process I remove the collars and take away the ropes. Crop the photo so that the sides of the back curtain are not showing.

This is the result of all the editing process.

It is a lot of work, but I have been doing it for years. The process for doing all this is much easier these days. I work the show from 7 am to 5 pm, I go back to the RV, and edit as many as I can and print them out for the next days show. These are 3 day events.

I sell the majority of my shots when I can print them and sell them the next day so they can take a photo home with them.

Needless to say, by Monday I am exhausted. I stay up as long as I can at night doing this work and then start again the next day.
