Hey ya'll, Saturday I shot a portrait session, which was a combination pet shoot with people. 7 dogs, 4 dachunds, 1 huskie, 1 german shepherd wolf mix and one large dog that i wasn't to sure what she was, and the 2 people that run the show. It was a blast, I shot the dogs like they were wildlife, we just let them run. I followed looking for images, and made quite a few. The light was great, had that really nice morning sun thru clouds thing going on (huge soft box) and the rest was just imaging the dogs as they went. We did resort to some on the leash action, no problem, a little retouching magic and boom, no leash! When it was time to shoot the family portrait the dogs were just ready to lay around which is what i wanted. Only used small flash bouncing off a gold card so no big lights and used a gold reflector for that extra kiss of light. I've been editing all day, Monday I'll start cropping, de leashing and retouching as well. I'll put some images up after i show them to my clients. My clients were real troopers, Jennifer wrangled the dogs and I used both Jennifer and John as reflector holders. Great time, good looking images, Going to call this one a success!
Meanwhile, I have nature stuff to edit, last week I shot hummingbirds. I like hummers, i think they get buzzed on caffeine to start the day so they are always moving. I got a few sittin on a small branch though, put some flash on them and got that glowing wing happening, very cool! The roses at washington oaks are making a spectacle of themselves so i have a couple images to put up here.
Earth day is coming up. Take a camera outside and shoot some earth.
That's it for now Thanks for reading!! Lets go shoot!!
