Thanks James.

I actually prefer this in a 4:5 crop, but the client wanted this particular shot in 4x6, and I didn't have time to reprocess for the web when I posted it. In the 8x10 version, there is more space on the left and, in my opinion, the dog looks more knightly and regal in that one.

I didn't think about removing the hay. . . hmmmm something to think about for sure.

This was made at an event where I had the fall / halloween set up. I usually try to get a few more isolated head shots that may get a few more prints sold that aren't "souvenir" type shots like you would expect at an event like this.

The light was a combination of natural and an SB-800 with a shoot-through umbrella clamped to one of the cross members in the booth.

Here is an un-edited (save for the vignette preset) shot I grabbed when the Oriole Bird dropped by while we were setting up. It shows the booth and the setup.



By the time the picture I posted was made, I had a couple of the sides from my tent (glad I brought them) clipped to the booth to help control the harsh light. It was almost like having a couple giant soft boxes (which is why I really love my tent).
