Experimenting with Monochrome And My Favorite Subject

Today I decided to experiment with Monochrome. As someone who is new to photography I have been trying anything and everything and not worrying so much about how the shots come out. As always I shot my favorite subject…Oshie. These photos were first shot in color and I used the tool that comes with Canon EOS cameras to do a little editing after. One of these days I will get my hands on a software that provides me with a lot more options for post production editing. The first photo is to show what I started with (although I think I had already messed with it a little). Enjoy.

Oshie always looks so happy!

Strange Faces 2

The next installment of strange faces. Not sure what Oshie is doing with his tongue here but it is definitely strange.

Dirty Mouth

Oshie loves to eat grass. Fortunately he is not a digger. I am thankful that we don’t have holes all over the yard and in comparison eating grass is not a big deal. The downsides to Oshie’s addiction to grass are that he tends to get a little to rambunctious and tears out tremendous chunks of sod. This creates ransom dirt spots in yard that already has plenty of brown spots from his killer pee. Here he appears to be having a good laugh after he has terrorized the lawn.

High Fashion

Oshie doesn’t always let us put clothing or accessories on him but when he does it turns out pretty funny. These photos are from when we was maybe 6 months old which is why his coat looks so short. I don’t remember where we were heading but we thought it would be funny to put some sunglasses on him. Unfortunately for Oshie they were a womens model. I think he pulls it off we will just lie and say he was going for the High Fashion Look.

Oshie loves the weekend. He is always up early and bothers Nancy non-stop until we get up. He will lay on top of her and hit her with his paws or lick her face until she has had enough and gets out of bed. He does this because he knows that on the weekends we take him for a car ride to get coffee. He is so funny. Oshie paces around anxiously and whines as we get ready.

As soon as we open the door he bolts to the car and sits next to the back door ready to jump in. With the windows down we cruise to Starbucks and he hangs out the window taking in all the scents. As we order our drinks he waits impatiently and when we get to the pick-up window he hangs out his window and stares at the workers intently. We always get him a puppuccino which is a kids Starbucks cup filled with whipped cream. Starbucks is awesome and gives them out for free if you just ask. In typical Golden fashion it is usually gone before we even pull away. He loves his weekend trips for coffee and the Starbucks employees love seeing him.
