Another shot for LPTG’s 52 Week Project. This week’s theme was “how do you get from point a to point b”.

How I get from point A to point B— pure bred German Shepherd.

Nothing says dignity, noble, respect, sophisticated, powerful, and stay-away-from-the-tiny-jockey-or-giant-dog quite like riding a black shepherd through the streets.

Of course in actuality, this is Photoshop, so PETA please don’t come after me!

And many thanks to my beautiful dog Ruca, always a great sport!

I set up this shot using my SB-600 with my Cheetah soft box, took a photo of Ruca (it was a miracle to get her to pose this nicely and stay still) and then myself, got on top of a skinny table and acted like I was riding a horse. Then I photoshopped the 2 images together. And I absolutely loved the effect. Couldn’t have done it any better!
