Her charm is so contagious vaccines have been created for it. She once had an awkward moment, just to see how it feels. When it is raining, it is because she's thinking about something sad. She has won the lifetime achievement award.... twice. Her reputation is expanding faster than the universe, because she is.........The most interesting Dog.
While I had my set up, I wanted to try a couple of new things. Camera settings ISO 100, 50mm 1.4, f/5.0, 1/200 (to offset the ambient light). Two light set up, AB 80 in a 42" octabox camera left with a grid. Large white reflector camera right to lighten the shadows, and get light back into her left eye. The background was 18% gray paper. I had an AB400 with 7" reflector, barn doors, and a 10% grid up high coming over the top. It was metered at the back of the chair to match the key. The most difficult part was getting a nice triangular shape on the paper. The paper was curling just a bit, and I didn't have time to weight it down. The background texture was a concrete image added post as a layer in Ps. A little Gaussian blur and a tiny bit of noise, helped keep it in the background.
I might add that even though she is 49 in dog years no alcohol was consumed by Sadie......no comment on the photographer. LOL Lest anyone question the bottle not being in focus, that was a choice, it was secondary to her and merely a prop. Anyhow, fun little project, enjoy. C&C always welcome.
