just wanted to share a few pictures i took this weekend with some new backdrops i bought. the blue i got off ebay & love it! it's a muslin that they said is machine washable...but we'll see. quick question...how do i get the fold lines out? as soon as i got it i crinkled it all up, but i can still see the fold lines from when it was shipped. i bought the backdrop to use for an upcoming specialty show, for the win shot background, but i just love it for portraits!! this is my 10 1/2 month old female bully pup...she was nice enough to be a model for me i need to work on keeping things straight when i take photos...i always seem to find a way to make the table crooked! lol it drives me crazy! and this pinkish background i'm really happy with! this is some kind of spandex material i got at walmart for $1/yard! there's been no post processing to the background...it's great and very washable! comments/critique of the shots welcome thanks, liz

Liz, like the blue; hate the pink . The nice thing about backgrounds is that you can find them in some pretty neat places like the discount bin at JoAnn's & Walmart. That's where I got my black background. For my first one, my partner and I actually hung a muslin sheet outside and attacked it with 5 spray cans of paint to come up with our "artist's backdrop". It worked fine for over 3 years. Jim

Liz - I love the blue (but I am very partial to blue) and like the pink. It would be great for a bitch. I really like #1 & #3, but am not too fond of the pink cast on the white chest and chin of #3. I think perhaps I would like #2 better if it wasn't shot straight on -- perhaps 3/4 would look great. That being said, I know how hard it is to get the "money" shot of our own dogs. I live alone, and trying to get one of my kids to pose ears up, eyes bright, tongue in, etc., while I'm trying to set lights, focus the camera, snap the shot, etc. etc. can be a daunting undertaking. Great captures on all three.
I really want to get into honing my "studio" shots. Perhaps I'll be taking a little ride to Joann's this weekend to hunt for backdrops.
