My Cat And A Black Background

Dennis

I have chosen one of my cat photos and loaded it with Photoshop. I wanted to get rid of the background behind my cat Shyna. I also changed the whole image to black and white because recently Leanne´s Monochrome Madness Challenges and her participants inspired me to experiment. Ok, I must admit that black and white effects have not much of an effect if your subject in the photo is a black and white cat and if you recolored the whole background to black too, but it´s still somewhat interesting. Here I applied a black and white adjustment layer and … Continue reading My Cat And A Black Background

What Kind Of Insect Is This?

To be honest, I am not sure what kind of thing this insect on the photo is. My mother took the image when they drove to the campsite in Salem last weekend.

It´s cute! Continue reading Mouse In The Grass

Here you can see them… Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: On Top

Some Minutes of Cat Training

Dennis

I always wanted to create this video but I dislike video editing or I don´t enjoy it as much as I love to play with other graphic tools. Anyway, I´ve done it now. I mentioned several times that I do practice tricks with my cat and that she is kinda talented but I just have shown you images but not videos. I always wanted to record one of our training sessions. Now I did that and you can see some minutes of our training unit in the following video… In this training session we did practice “sit”, “give me paw”, … Continue reading Some Minutes of Cat Training
