St. Pat's Pups - with a simple backdrop

CherylL · Mar 10, 2020

These were shot with natural light. When I did the Mardi Gras photos little Quincy didn't like the new floor and I think the flash bothered him so I went with the light from windows. Used a cardboard white board as background and a fluffy white blanket. Photo of the set up included. I tried to shoot for solid white and edited these differently than usual. C&C welcome

2. Snickers perked up when I held his favorite toy tennis ball. He goes nuts over tennis balls.

Nicely done, Cheryl; goes to show how little equipment you actually NEED to produce really nice images!

Great set. I especially like #1. As @tirediron said great images from a simple set up.

Thanks Derrel! First time I used the tennis ball to get his attention. I need to find a way to strap it to my camera.

Thanks! The living room has large windows and nice light. These were shot on a sunny morning when the sun was not directly casting onto the floor.

Thanks! #1 Oscar is usually the most compliant of the three. I was by myself and crawling back and forth with the pups and fixing their beards. One shake and the beards are a mess.

Thanks! They are so much fun! They each have their own personalities and their own spots around the house where they nap.

Great shots and #4 made me laugh. Do you know how hard it is to make a German laugh? Good job!

GimmeAnother1 · Mar 10, 2020

All of them are perfect. Such great looking dogs!

Quincy is priceless, makes me wonder what he's thinking. They're a fun looking trio.

They're all wonderful dogs but Quincy has "that star power".
And he knows it.

Quincy the little trouble maker of the bunch. True to being the youngest child. He thinks he rules the roost around here. He is the most expressive of the three.
