Hey Julie,

Thanks for the comments. I go back and forth on cloning the backdrop marks out. Part of me likes the textures that they create - though if folks find it distracting, they are easy enough to get rid of.

As to whether or not as to location - I do 90% of my stuff in the owner's homes. I find that the pets are generally much more relaxed and able to listen better - particularly given the horde that I have at home, LOL.

As to the lighting, I used a 4 flash set-up for these. Two with fong domes fired from about 2 to 3 feet above the guy's head, about 10 feet away. I also used another, bounced down to help eliminate shadow.

I look forward to seeing your shots of the Dane!
