TULLIBARDINE STILLMAN DRAM ( TULLY)
She is a small adorable, funny, adventurous, daring and sweet Scottish Terrier. She loves to chase lizards, but her great passion is wait for the “grandmother” throw the pieces of the crust of Parmesan cheese down by the window. She likes to watch TV on my legs...the sofa is ‘too uncomfortable!!!” She loves playing with plastic bottles or tennis balls. She live in Northern Italy with mommy, 2 sister,1 brother , Aunt Birilla (an old english sheepdog), my husband and me. Our home is full of coats and laughs.

More You can Do...Tips Better Photo ~ I’m working with the details in the photos. The more details, the more options I have. The photos should be in focus. Most camera have an automatic focus and exposure which is activated when you push the shutter release button half way down before tak-ing the shot. This feature is looking for an area of contrast in the center of the frame. Sometime with a black dog, the best place to find the contrast is at the edge or someplace like the collar. Find the area of contrast. Push the Shutter Release half way down. Hold to lock the exposure and focus. Center the frame where you want while holding the SR button 1/2 down. Wait for the shot....Click.
Sometime, especially under low light, the mere pushing down on the SR button will shake the camera and cause it to blur. In this case, you can use the timer to automatically take the shot while you hold the camera, or better yet, while on a tripod.
It’s digital. Take lots of shot.
Size ~ In the beginning, Facebook would take any large photo and automatically scale it down to 1 inch square. Now you can upload almost any size. I’m looking for detail. For the best results in a portrait the minimum size of a photo should be 720 pixels at the smallest dimension. In other words 10” x 10” at 72 pixels per inch (ppi or dpi) or 1.5 MB uncompressed or a 250 KB JPeG file. There is no maximum size.
Larger Files for Better Printing ~ There are two ways to get a larger digital copy of you Birthday Portrait. You can write me a 5 Star Review on Google or raise your right paw and promise to send $10 to an animal shelter or rescue.
Send More Information ~On pages 22 and 31 you can see what I would like to add to each portrait. If you will send this information, I will add it to the page ... it does not have to be in English.
