You never know when trying something new, will help with what you really like doing. Animal Portraits are/where not high on my list of things to try. But I have this wonderful model at my call all weekend.
I was granddog sitting, Oliver my sons 3 1/2 year old Silver Lab. So armed with treats my wife Glenda set to work to make a portrait of Sir Oliver. We assembled an array of Nikon equipment, backdrops, light stands, umbrellas. With my head full of instructions from, Joe McNally, Strobist , Dave Black and David Ziser. We set to work. Not sure what we ran out of first. My nerves, treats or Oliver willingness to co-operate.
Well if the final result makes it to a frame and resides on my sons desk. I guess it was not only an afternoon filled with laughs but a success.
