Used Helmi's lighting pattern

To set this up. These are not retouched beyond resizing and a hair of sharpening.



This is 41 days in whelp

Hey Julie,

LOL, I almost asked if you had retouched these...but then I re-read your post. I must say that they look pretty darned impressive. Excellently lit.

See how much info can be learned from here?? While the server was down, I was chomping at the bit to come back and look at the different lighting stuff. I really love how Helmi lights her stuff and set mine up very similar to hers. I didn't light the backdrop though, as it is ugly. Great when the dof is shallow though!

I think this will make a wonderful backdrop for my christmas portrait fundraiser

Here are some more, same lighting pattern, with some big lot props(I love big lots)

Hey Julie,

Very nice...looks like it will be very appropriate for your Christmas/Holiday shoot. I generally don't do many props in my shots, but I think it adds something very nice. The 2nd shot shows a great pose, BTW. I enjoy the 'aww shucks' kind of look to the image.

Here is one with purple. I am trying my best to come up with interesting color combinations. This is pretty garish, but, definitely colorful.

What does this look like on your monitor. I have calibrated my laptop and my desktop and get VERY different looks

Excellent work Julie!

...though the pup looks a tad, um, confused...

Beautiful shots as always.
