Jude- 9 Weeks Today!

[hey_jude]

Jude and I flew together to visit my family in Connecticut for a few days this past weekend. Although I do try to give him enough rest and quiet time, I do want him to be a dog that can keep up with my busy lifestyle and adapt to travel. He did wonderfully! He slept the entire flight under the seat except for the final plane home when he barked a few times in the beginning- fortunately everyone around me laughed. We were almost in Austin so everyone was pretty dog friendly. He's doing really well! I'm sure he's growing, but of course I don't see it much yet.

Jude at the Beach in CT

With his Grandma...

I put him in the water so that got him all worked up. He got all mad at me and riled up.

Jude and me!

Jude's first bath!

And today I took his 9 week photos on my balcony in Austin.

Finally laid in his bed. Of course as soon as I noticed, he climbed out.

And here are a few more from a park in Connecticut:

Chewing on some kind of long grass...

Those are stunning! Jude is just adorable, I can't wait to see him once he's full grown.

Do you do alot of editing to your pictures afterwards?

 

[SharkBait]

Hes positively the cutest thing ever.

Also, awesome pictures. what camera are you using? Looks like your using a wide prime lens too, are you? I love these pics so much!

Adorable, you should be a photographer, your shots were amazing. And how you got him to sit still long enough to get the photo is amazing.

 

[Lizmo]

Hehe, Kennel, she is a photographer.

Those are stunning! Jude is just adorable, I can't wait to see him once he's full grown.

Lizmo, I think I remember reading in another one of Jude's threads that she doesn't edit her pictures at all. I do believe it's a effect of her camera/lens, because I know my camera has some pretty nice settings too once you get accustomed to used it. This is my camera :http://i.expansys.com/i/b/b165210.jpg, it's a Fujifilm Finepix s1000fd, it cost me around 240$ cdn, roughly. It's a really nice camera.

 

[hey_jude]

Hey guys! Thanks so much. I use an 85mm 1.2 lens on a 5d. I do do a little editing- just a little brightening (I'm classic under exposer) and what we photographers call a defog- which is just kind of a fancy way to add contrast. I have been adding a little yellow and red to his fur also into photoshop because I think it looks prettier.

And actually I am a photographer! Link in my signature.

What photoshop do you use, if you don't mind me asking? I'm looking into different ones, and I'm currently on a trial version of Adobe Lightroom. It's nice and I like alot of the features, but it doesn't allow you to do much in terms editing anything but the light/softness.

He is adorable, and you are an amazing photographer.
