Feb 7: Rosie's a Spurs fan

While Linda was out at the game this afternoon, I got this shot of Rosie and me at home celebrating Spurs 4-3 win over Portsmouth. Ever tried getting a dog to pose for you, and get yourself in the shot while the self timer counts down? It's not easy! After many many attempts, I thought this one was really fun. I might post some of the out-takes later.

BTW If anyone's interested, I've worked out a way to use 'curves' in Photoshop Elements... A clever trick as Elements doesn't actually have the 'curves' feature! It's an excellent way of adjusting contrast in a picture.

David - for some reason I haven't seen this one?? I have been busy of late though and maybe why I missed it. Must say - you have great detail and texture (if that's the right word??) ... really really good :)) As to dogs ... getting them to pose with you ... NIGHTMARE!!!! As my remote is broken I don't know how many times I climbed up and down setting the self timer only for Rus to turn the other way or something!! This is a good shot - very 'happy' image?? Man and his best friend?

Rosie is looking pretty happy - had Tottenham just scored the winner?

This is great! Just enough of both of you to see you were having fun!!

Great fun shot David, (I'd sooner stay at home with the dogs too!)
