Dramatic Photos

So I was practicing (Ok playing) with my photo software. The photos that we take and post are to show potential adopters the pup, so we can't do a whole lot of color changing or special effects. But I may have to look into using some of these for some greeting cards.

What do you think?

Amazing how blurring the background made this dog pop!

This was the crop suggestion - and I think they were right!

Hahahahaa - never mind. I would rather share some cute puppy photos.

I love the photos that don't quite make it on our website!

One more that I just couldn't help - we found this on facebook - and of course I have to share it here.

Would you get one of these????? The puppy girls were giving me a hard time for ordering a fanny pack for my new Note 3 - but I think this one might just have gone over the line.

This weekend I get to look through about 2,500 pictures for this blog - oh my job is sooooo much fun!

I have also received quite a few Alumni pictures so I will get those albums up to date as well.

Talk to you soon - and please keep sending photos!

Something Brand New (10/18/2013)

We get questions and emails all of the time asking if there is a way for people to contact adopters of litter mates. Well - now there is.

We started a new forum/bulletin board at http://coloradopuppyrescue.boards.net/ feel free to check it out. We setup boards for "Premium Members" that allows people who donate $5 to have access to boards like:

• Find a littermate
• Find a playmate

We will also be attempting to contact littermates to let them know someone is looking for them!!!! The boards will be staffed by Colorado Puppy Rescue volunteers and fosters. It will be like the Alumni Reunion all year long!

We have some cute puppies this week and fabulous photos by Brook. Here are a few that I just HAD to share.

That is a talented tongue roll!

Does this smell funny to you? Because it smells funny to me!

A happy little Bronco fan!

Helllloooooooooo

Do you see a ghost?

Hmmm.....I was told it was hard to find the dog when I used the flower arrangement......

Hope you have a great week and will chat with you on the boards!

Different Perspective (10/11/2013)

Last week we had a fall theme for our puppy photos. It worked pretty well, considering that all of the photos were taken inside.

A few months ago the photo below was posted on facebook - stating what an incredible photo.

It is outstanding, and it got me to thinking. What if we posted "alternative" photos of our puppies? Would photos like these have adopters flocking to our event?

Or these?

This perspective is always a good one in my opinion.

Maybe I will stick with the cute puppy with the props.

I also got this one from one of the fosters - the two headed dog!

Had to look twice on that one didn't you :) Hope you enjoyed the photos from a little different perspective.
