Photobombed by a Beagle


When the snow was coming down the other day, I took my old camera out with me when we walked the dogs. It's a point-and-shoot and it records a lot more image than you see in the viewfinder. When I downloaded the photos I was surprised to see Flash in what I thought was a scenic shot of snow-laden trees.

No problem! Normally I pick out pictures to post on this blog and process them in Photoshop anyway: Straighten and crop if necessary, perhaps brighten, save a 500K JPEG to print, size down even more for the web, and add copyright info. Here I've cropped two versions, both "sans chien." Which do you like more?

Neither of them have been brightened much because it was still snowing, not a bit sunny. And although they appear almost like black and white shots, they are color photographs.
