Double Exposure - 52 Week Project

This one was a challenge.  I wasn't sure the best way to approach the double exposure, so I did a couple of different ways. First I snagged a picture of my Tri County Humane Society buddy Tucker. Love this pup! If I had more space, I'd snag him in a heartbeat.

Next up I needed a picture to merge with the image of Tucker. Wednesday was my Photographer's League meeting and I snagged this interesting image of downtown St. Cloud using a freelens I have. 

This first double exposure was done in camera using both images. Looks like Tucker is a party!

 The same two images, though this time they were processed with my HDR software, Photomatix.

 The final image was created in Photoshop.

Which one is your favorite?

Fall - 52 Week Project

Oh my its fall already! Wasn't it just yesterday when we were on the cusp of August, lounging with our lazy pups without a care in the world?

Luckily around here, fall is a beautiful time of year! Plus our temperatures have been very balmy (70s & 80s - is it really fall?). Bender and I went out scouting at the campus of St. John's University. Lots of yellow colored leaves were starting to peak, with general color at about 20%.

Afterwards Axle and I headed out on an adventure to Mill Stream Park in St. Joe, MN. The color was just starting with a couple of pops of reds, oranges and yellows. Plus there was a nice green swatch of grass that complimented the colors perfectly!

Both Bender and Axle are wearing their AMAZING Freedom No Pull Harnesses from 2 Hounds Design. If you have a puller, check one of these harnesses out! They work wonders! Plus they come in a ton of awesome colors to compliment your pup's coat or they can sport their favorite color!
