This was not represented as BLUE in the auction photo, but, not sure what else you could call it. Anyhow, here are some photos I did with it

Julie,
I like it. Similar to one I painted a couple of years ago. Having backdrops in the blue, gray and brown ranges gives you a lot of leeway with different dogs.

My favorite is still black but I use my rust one a lot and I'm still shopping for a new blue one.

Enjoy!

This is what the auction photo looked like:

The one you got looks better to me!

lovely photos and whippets!! Your photos are always so crispy and clear, very nice work.

Hey Julie,

I second the thoughts presented here. You won out on this one. The blue is really quite soothing on the eyes. Mind if I ask how much you wound up paying for it after shipping?

beautiful shots! i love the background & it's much nicer then the auction photo! lol
may i ask what your lighting setup is?

With the dogs alone, I had 2 Alien bee 800's, one with a medium softbox and one with a beauty dish. I also had a cheap light set to be a hairlight/background light. I don't think that worked out quite as I envisioned though

With the woman, it was one light trying to short light her, and a reflector to bounce some back on the other side of her face
