Went to do a shoot for some homeless kitties, and these two stole the show.

Just into the shelter and a little timid, but they warmed up a bit when together.

The first thing I noticed with this photo was the eyes of the larger beagle and how they match the mustard color of the comfy chair. There is something very relaxing about the photo... I am not sure if it is the calm doggie visages or the homespun chair they are sitting on, but the photo brings up pleasant feelings.

I noticed the reflection on the left armrest. Are you using a stroboframe to get the flash a little further from the lens? I use the wireless Nikon flash system which lets me take the flash completely off the camera. I love it.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks.

I had an SB800 through an umbrella on a stand just barely to the right of camera. It was triggered with an SU800 commander.

nice shot! the chair colors are perfect for those dogs
interesting blue eyes on the beagle, never seen that before.

Thanks Liz,

Another interesting thing was that Blue's eyes seemed to always have red-eye. Even in full sun, it seemed that his pupils didn't contract and he would have that red-eyed glow.
