Photoshopping Pups

Asked a few friends of mine with dogs to pose for some images so I could try out a couple lighting set ups. Also wanted to just get out and shoot and add a few images with dogs in them to my portfolio. Below are a couple of the images I thought I would share from two of the shoots. The first image was actually shot in my driveway and I superimposed the subjects onto another backdrop. The overall goal for this image was to try out a drop shadow technique and layer one image over another. I'm far from being a Photoshop expert, but, practice makes perfect you could say. For the second image I just wanted to try a few new recipes using Totally Rad Actions.

Thanks again to everyone involved and hope you dig your images.
