Bulldog (Bullie) Photography by @beautifulbullies

Back to Bulldog Photography!

I have been getting rather carried away of late with abstract photography posts and thought I had better bring it back to where it should be focused... and that is with Beautiful Bulldogs!

Little Vinnie here is my neighbours French Bulldog, who I help out with whilst they are at work.

Vinnie and I decided that we would like to go for a woodland walk with my camera and do a mini photo shoot, with him as the subject. (Yes I have conversations with dogs... don't you?!!)

This particular photo (bellow) is edited using the kindly provided Lightroom preset that @derangedvisions gave to the pixel perfect community on one of our previous homework assignments. I rather like the effect...

Most people know that I have a passion for English Bulldogs (or as we call them in England simply 'Bulldogs'). But I also love little French Bulldogs too... in fact I don't think there is any breed of dog that I don't like!

There are a lot of negative comments thrown around about bulldogs 'not being able to walk far' or 'can't breathe properly'. Little Vinnie here is a testament to the breed and proves that they can be just as healthy as any other breed, with correct breeding practices in place.

We were out walking for a good hour and a half and he would have carried on if I hadn't taken him home! But I needed a cuppa tea and a biscuit by that stage.

I hope you have enjoyed our little woodland photo shoot. Vinnie and I certainly did!

Thank you for stopping by!

Much love, BB & Vinnie xx


A huge thank you to @zord189 for my bouncing bullies signature!

What a cutie! I love Frenchies and have painted them a few times in my work.

I LOVE your water and other abstract photo's. I've just been falling behind in keeping up with all my favourites here on Steem with trying to settle into a routine.

With the new year approaching I'm hoping to address that as part of my Art Resolution for the year.

Keep photographing puppies but also close up of water, it is SO amazing. I might need to try some for background inspirations for paintings. I wonder if I can do it with my digital camera I already have?

Frenchies must be so much fun to draw! :D
Thank you I have really loved playing around with water photography, there is so much you can do with it. You should definitely have a go with your camera! :D
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you xxx

I don't know much about the different breeds of bulldogs and don't really care to know if it is English or French or even Mexican (if there is a Mexican) I just like the way they look. They like like a little bad ass, in a good way.
Thanks for sharing, and your other photography is really good so don't get yourself trapped just shooting bulldogs.

Awww thank you, you are too kind!
Vinnie is definitely a bad ass, I like to think he is named after Vinnie Jones hehe
BB :D

You are most welcome and very deserving of every compliment I give you.

You are doing awesome with your photography! These are some really great shots and Little Vennie is a natural. I love the clear nature shots and your photography brought out the shine in his coat! What a sweet post that made me smile! It looks like he could have stayed out there all day! 😄

I love your bouncing bullies signature! Great job to @zord189!

He certainly would have stayed there all day, he loved it! :D
Thank you so much :)
BB

That’s so awesome!!

What a wonderful looking doggy. He just looks like he means business, and the business is smelling and sniffing!

Marvelous photos, and a really good location feature. I like the logo/watermark, too. Very nicely done.

Thank you Big T! Yes, he certainly put his cute little nose to good use! The only down side was that he found the horse poop! haha
Thank you for your comment about the watermark. I have had a few people mention to me recently that I should watermark my images but I hate to see 'COPYRIGHT' plastered all over an image and just a name feels a little cold to me.
I wanted something a little more personal and as I am always in my head imagining things, 'Cheryl Imagines...' seemed to fit nicely xD
Thank you for your support as always Big T, it is greatly appreciated!
BB x (or should I say Cheryl...)

Awesome sheen. Obviously loved...

Namaste, JaiChai

He is definitely a loved little boy :)

I want one :) I have a friend with a French bulldog, such a hyper dog and good fun to be around. Love these photos :)

Thank you so much! :)
Yes, they have amazing personalities, I would love to have a French Bulldog, but I can't fit any more dogs into my little house haha
BB

D'awww...now that is one ugly cute little guy, heh.

Noooo! He is not ugly! How can you say such a thing! can't you see that bullies are beautiful?!! :D
BB ;)

Lovely! Vinnie looks a profesional model of Bulldogs :D i love the dramatic looks. Lol

I think he does a little modelling on the side hehe

looks like a bat on steroids ;-)

Stunning shots and you could never get enough of bokeh which is stunning. I'm sure Vinnie enjoyed this photo shoot.

Thank you so much! Yes, He loved his little walk and posed like a pro!
BB :)

He is a beauty isn't he! I love his radar ears haha

Vinnie is so cute!!! I love dogs too. Mine is a poodle but every dog is wonderful. Dogs represent God`s love. Pictures are beautiful. Congratulations.

Dogs represent God`s love

100% agree with you!
Thank you so much :)
BB

Vinne is sure a cute dog and he looks really playful too, your neighbor must be really blessed to have him. Oh, you too are blessed to be able to hang out with him when they are no around.

I love how the photos of the dog looks so effortless and natural, he sure looked like he was enjoying the photoshoot and that just means that he has grown to love and be comfortable around you.

Little Vinnie here is a testament to the breed and proves that they can be just as healthy as any other breed, with correct breeding practices in place.

I agree with you on this, quality health care, right breeding practices and love ofcourse, goes a long way in bringing out the best in any pet.

You are a great photography, i love your work and that edited one too looks really cool. I love the effect.

Thank you so much for your kind words!
BB :)

Wow, those photos are fantastic! And your subject is just adorable. ♥
Great post! Looks like the pair of you had a lovely walk.

Thank you! Yes, It was a lovely day for it too :)
BB

Soooooo cute!!!!

I think that everyone should talk to their dogs. Especially, when they're about to decided where to go for a walk :D It's crucial to come to an agreement so that both parties are happy and satisfied ;)

Your photos are very good. I like the last one the most. He looks like he would be thinking about what he will get for lunch :)

I didn't know that there are talks about bulldogs not being to walk long distances and being out of breath. I have a few friends who own bulldogs and they never mentioned something like that. I can imagine that it really depends on how you take care of your dog. I can't imagine that entire breed is the same :)

Thank you for sharing! Such photos make me want to own a dog even though it's impossible for me right now...

Congratulations on your curie vote!

Thank you! :D
I agree with you about talking to your dog before deciding on walk location... I mean, imagine if you got out and your pet thought you were going somewhere different. How disappointing would that be?!! hehe
BB

And imagine that the dog would run away in the other direction because of the misunderstanding, lol :)

Better to agree in advance ;)

Oh my goodness, Vinnie is the bees knees!! When Hubs and I had to say farewell to our little Moxie (our 15 year old pug...another short nosed breed...who was full of vim & vigor to the end!!) we considered a Frenchie. Of course we also would love another pug...we were blessed with a little surrendered Boston Terrier puppy 2 weeks ago!
Your photography is beautiful!

Thank you so much!
Awwww Boston Terriers are awesome little characters too! :D
BB

Lovely bokeh! And I love the shiny coat on your dog!

Thank you so much @rimicane! :D

Great job! Love these @beautifulbullies.
I went on a photo shoot yesterday .. so fun
I zone the whole time.. my world .. love it.

Ah that's fab! You can really get lost in photography can't you! :D
BB

now I want a bulldog .. your photography is fantastic
My favs: 1, 2 and the last .. the others are good but those I love! ❤️

Haha thank you, I believe everyone should have a bulldog ;)
BB

Lovely photos of beautiful bulldogs!

Thank you @felt.buzz! :D

I really love your photos!

Thank you so much! :D

He looks so serious.

He was seriously thinking about where he could find more horse poop without me noticing... haha

what beautiful photos why dont you enter them in my Photo Fun Contest this weeks theme is dogs!

Thank you so much, I am so pleased you like them!
Ah fantastic thank you! :D All entered now! :)
BB x

This dog has wonderful color. Those white ears are quite astounding. He kind of looks like a horse in the top shot :)

hehe yes he has a very proud stance doesn't he! That could be because he is from champion lines and his ancestors have been in crufts! :D
BB

Ahh!!! Refreshing....
I've been expecting pictures of Bulldogs from you since the past week.
These shots are great.

Thank you so much! :D Glad I didn't disappoint you :)
BB

What beautiful pictures!! I love dogs, and my daughter loves French bulldogs!

thank you! :D

Great shots. I enjoyed. The shine of the coat is impressive.

Thank you, I am pleased you enjoyed the pictures! :D

Love your shots :D

Thank you! :D

I fell in love with that little Bulldog, your photographs are so beautiful, the first one is without a doubt my favorite, I imagine it was a complicated job because the dogs are never still hahaha .. Wonderful work friend, I loved your post, a big hug @beautifulbullies

He is such a cutie! I had to use a faster shutter speed to be able to capture him as he was running towards me :) Thank you so much! :D

Neat photos! Do you use a super fast shutter speed? I can never get my critters to be still long enough to get a clear photo.

1/200s was the speed I was using so that I could capture his movements as he ran towards me :D
Thank you so much :)

I'm going to check the PRO settings on my phone's camera and see if that one is an option. I'd like to play around with it a bit more.

look for an 'S' on a dial. that is for shutter speeds :)

Cool, I'll look for it. Thanks! :-D

Those smooshed up faces, makes you just want to grab those lips (jowls) and kiss...

Miss my little bullmastiff, under sized by half of what she should have been, she ran wild with with Great Dane companion, no problem with breathing after 2 hour beach walks.

Just had a wee bit of attitude, but who could blame a half-pint!

#steemitbloggers

Adorable photography share as always @beautifulbullies

Haha yes, they have brilliant attitudes and can hold their own with the best of them can't they! :D

Time out together, Juli and Harley, as you can see she was really pint size, with ballerina out turned front paws....

awwww stunning pooches, both of them! :D

Oh wow, didn't know there's also love among curie curators for quite "big" users as you are :) Steemitbloggers are on the roll, you/re the third curated author by curie in last 4 days I see :) But this little gentleman is worth alll the upvotes so it's understandable :)

Little Vinnie should take 1000% credit for the curie vote, he is such a sweetie and the Curie team do fabulous work. I am honoured to have received a curie vote! :D

Vinny looks like the chief 😉

He is soooooo the chief haha xD

This is My friends boss 😉 a female boss

awwww she is soooo cute! :D Merry Christmas!

She is called jillzz after the drink Haha

What a doll! Oh he's so cute I could just squeeze him with a hug through the screen! You got some fantastic shots of him. I'm sure he's a good subject, but you've got some made photo skills. One of my friend's brothers has a French Bulldog. She brought him to visit when he was a puppy and we just loved getting to meet him!

Thank you! :D
Yes they have amazing characters and are soooo cute! :D I just love their ears hehe

IMG_20161213_082651943.jpg
Here he is. This was Chubs when he was a puppy. I think he's 2 years old now. The ears are so stinking cute!

OH my goodness! :D I just want to squish him and snog his little chops! hehe
