Hoss in his old age

    Hoss is 10 and a half, his face is grey and his jowls droop.  Leaves stick to them, but I love this gentle ole face.   He has cancer so we know his days with us our numbered, hopefully we get a few more years.   Love you Hoss.

    I did some dry ice shots, it was a fun photo project and some I think turned out well.

 

  I had trouble with the dry ice showing.  I tried shaving it but the smoke came out different.

 

     I was fairly happy with the end result to this one, I did do more editing and I printed it off and gave it to our wonderful brewery.

    St Paddy's day and my husband's beer glass from the brewery he was the brewer for.

   I tried red due to the cup being black but was not happy with the end result.

     The shot above shows who much trial and error it took to get the smoke just right, it was either way to much or way too little but fun and messy.

    I really liked the one above.  I tried it with the red background since my glass was black but it didn't work as well, this is what I wanted it to look like and I am happy with the outcome.

    If you want to try this at home get some dry ice, use gloves when handling and then just experiment.  I had my camera on a tripod and used several different settings until I found one that worked best.  Use warm club soda water which worked good.

 

 

   I was bored and decided to do some still shots using my husband horn drinking vessel and leaves from the yard not to mention some great beers.

 

 

 

  Some shots I took at Synders Bend at sunset last year.  The colors were amazing.
