2009 Sieger Show Performance photos - Page 4

Do the grips look any better in the other photos?  Could you photoshop or airbrush something in there that makes them appear full, maybe add a little more red?  Gorgeous!!!

For what purpose?  To make the dog look like they're biting better than they actually are?  Hmmm . . .
Full grips come from genetics, not an airbrush!

 Fotos are fabulous artillery!! Kudos!

Nice pix!
There will always be people taking pictures at events and giving them away. Some, like those above, will be darned good. Most, like mine, will be pretty bad. My pix are mostly candid shots, taken for memorabilia for my own enjoyment with my antique gear. As long as the photgraphers don't set up a booth or solicit sales at he time or after the event, I don't see the problem, because if you want to SURE you get good pix of your dog, the best way to go is reserve your pix in advance with the official photographers.
No, that isn't always a guarantee you will get your pix, as I have mentioned so many times before, but when 24K Foto is the official photgrapher, you're in luck.

Thanks guys! Personally, I enjoy taking photos and if the owners of the dog enjoy them as wll, so be it. They are welcome to them. Obviously all I ask is photo credit for the photographers. No, I have not nor will I even photoshop a picture of someones dog to alter the dogs color, its performance, etc. What the owners do with the photos once they have them is up to them. The show photographers have the advantage of the best position and unobstructed views. I myself was shooting with a long lens from up the hill. lol. However, dogs are dogs and there is no telling which way they will turn the helper, no telling when the shutter will snap a pic, etc. So every once in awhile, even with 10 stellar photographers on the field, only 1 will get that 1 in a million shot of a dog. The more the merrier, IMO.

I thought RMB was the official Photographer ....... now I'm really confused.

My only point was that 24K does a fabulous job, takes many thousands of pix of every dog and nearly everyone. Everyone I know who has order pix has received them quickly, been very happy with them.

I remember in Ohio they had a photographer who had little-to-no experience shooting GSD shows, stacked shots, performance shots, with brand new digital equipment. I didn't see many after the event, and a single one worth ordering.
Doug Loving was there. He co-owned one dog with me. He was thrown off the grounds, escorted by the police, before he ever got his camera loaded. (Thanks Nia)  He was never anywhere near the rings.

I consider that Siger Show "The Lost Event" because some of my dogs did pretty well, but to this day I have NO pix of them doing so, or even any cute candid shots in the parking lot... another whole chapter in my scrapbooks, MISSING. The only reason I have pix of Pallo in Bowling Green 2000 is becuase a spectator took some, sent them to me some years later, after he died.  I really treasure those pix.

Except for the one below,  the pix I got of Pallo in the SS in Marysville, WA are so distant you can hardly see him. I don't have any of Angel, who went SG2 in the 18-24 mos class, or Tabsi Roten Matter (V5) or Colorado Casa Carolina, or any of the other dogs I hauled and showed in that event. The only ones I have from Bijouro in Dallas are the ones we took ourselves from well outside the ring.
Nice, huh?

 

RMB IS the official show photographer, but where are the photos on the web site???

This job should be put to bid each year after each show for the next years, with perks for USA defined and offered. 

The photos are great, any of 12-18 month female #167??  Or just bite work?

Kathy, there was sarcasm in his post.

 Any pictures of our Pegasus von Aducht, #30, working class males, and the 6-9 month male and female group?  Podium shots especially appreciated.  We have the 1st place 6-9 month male and 2nd place 6-9 month female.  

Thank you,
