Why does this place have to be so barren???

[JBerlotti]

This is one of our police dogs. He is such a pretty pup. Still a puppy at 2 years old. This is shot with a 5D and 70-200 2.8L IS (I love this combo) There is nothing else to shoot around here (deployed military) since its all brown buildings and sand. I am sad that I am not getting the chance to shoot more.

[Caspita]

That camera set up is probably one of my favorites too. Beautiful dog...makes me miss my German Sheppard, why are the ears numbered?

[JBerlotti]

His ear has a tattoo because thats how the military identifies the pups. Dont worry, they are asleep when they get their ink.

[SarahBeth]

Gorgeous dog! Very nice photo too. I love that lens!

[ThomGascoigne]

Great looking dog! I'd love to have a German Shep but I dont like how they drop their hair all over the place..

I guess I'll just stick with my standard poodles :D

Nice tattoo! You can read that thing from a mile away. Oh, very nice dog, too. :-)

[asolie]

That looks nice!! Reminds me of our German shepherd.

Very cool animal portrait, good capture. Thanks for your service and for posting this image!

[LW Dail]

Sand can be fun, just get creative!

Until then, you have a beautiful subject there! Great shot of a beautiful dog.

Thanks to you, and a biscuit to your K9 pal!

Would you like me to mail you some shells?

[JBerlotti]

Would you like me to mail you some shells?

LoL thanks for the offer, but I highly doubt they would make it through customs.

[pennypue]

LoL thanks for the offer, but I highly doubt they would make it through customs.Bummer! Anything else beachy you can think of that would go well with all that sand? Pity to let it go to waste.;)

[Canew]

Berlotti Photography, was the shot taken through a fence?

[SquareOne]

Great looking guy. Germ Sheps are some of the best dogs I've ever been around. I had a buddy who's dad was a cop who took in a retired NARC Officer (German Shepherd). So smart. So loyal.

Yes it is, even if you were to send something, I am soon to leave so I might not be here when it gets here. :D I do appreciate it. LoL plus the sand here is more like powder than beach sand. Its very strange sand. On second thought, send me an ocean, and a 6 pack of beer.

Nope, why do you ask?

[\quote]Somehow I don't think it would make it through!! The ocean though....that has really possibilities!!!

How about you stop in Cincinnati and I buy you lotsa beers?:D

[JBerlotti]

Sounds like a plan to me! There is no such thing here as it is illegal. :confused: Actually my whole mission in life when I leave here is getting back to my family, and THEN getting the beers. LoL too bad a thimble of beer will get me lit at this point. :lol:

[pennypue]

Hey, me too. A thimble is all it takes. But then, that's cuz I'm gettin' old. :D

Seriously, if you're ever in Cincy, beer is on me. Of course, I'm likely to make you show me how to use this camera I have before you get drunk. And please bring a designated driver. lol

[JBerlotti]

LoL, what makes you think I even know how to use the gear I have?

[pennypue]

Well, you got that dog pic out of the camera and managed to post it in the thread......I've managed to put my camera in RAW. I downloaded DPP and did my version of processing (and I use that term losely). But I've yet to figure out how to take that adjusted RAW file and move it into my photobucket......once I manage to learn some of that, I think I might set up a zenfolio. But I think I'll be about ten years older by then.

I figure you've at least got a gear list and a pic of a dog.
You've got me beat in spades!!

ok, I just looked at your gear list...you've got things that I don't even know what they are....let alone how to use them!
