Harley

Had a photo session yesterday with a couple and their very bouncy black lab, Harley. He managed to sit still long enough for a snap or two :-)
It was also the new "Family Day" holiday in Ontario. Just what the doctor ordered. A nice day off after a long weekend :-)

Just Playing

Oh yeah, and I signed it with my new wacom tablet pen :-)

Studio Session

Went to Ed Shapiro's studio to learn a bit more about lighting and have Natalie take a publicity shot of me, Tyra and camera :-)
Not convinced the short lighting works well for dogs. Also struggled somewhat with the ratios when person and dog posed. Dog perfectly exposed and human too brightly lit or dog underexposed with good lighting on human. Photo above is of Alika. Fairly decent one, I think, but could have done without seeing part of the chair behind her. Processing of all the other files may take a while due to the lighting and exposure.

Sam

Last night I went to photograph a 16 1/2 yr old border collie mix called Sam. She's pretty sprightly for her age but slightly deaf.
