    Sausages


    boo800 by C J Lee, on Flickr

    Im in the early days of learning and don't have any speedlites or lighting as such and my dog boo is the only one who will pose for me at the moment. I think the on camera flash is a bit harsh so i tried taking this under an energy saving light bulb and boost the ISO up a bit.

    Well done Chris.

    If you don't have the gear, you improvise to get the shot. Daylight through the window might have done the trick and the addition of a reflector could help. A reflector doesn't need to be a purpose designed photography one. White card, or some back foil will do.

    I look forward to more Photo's of Boo.

          Boo looks like a character and you have managed to capture him well in this image.

            Nice picture Chris, Boo does look a character and is a great model for you!

            As Colin has already said don't underestimate the value of a good window (perhaps with a little fill-in from the oncamera flash) especially late in the day, but well done on a nice B&W conversion making the most of the light and making the high-ISO less noticeable.

            Do watch out for where you focus though, it's usually preferable to ensure the eyes are in focus as that's where the viewers eyes are drawn.

              Decent pic of your hound Chris, and I agree with Colin ..I have found that a sheet of white card from an art shop does the trick as a reflector, and for only a few pounds.

                Thanks everyone

                I'm off to the art shop this weekend. I've only just noticed the DIY section of the forum interesting read! I'm sure lots of this will help me out while saving up the pennies.

                  At least Boo is looking at you. My dog takes off at the speed of light when she sees the camera.

                  A car windowscreen sunshade also makes a decent reflector. Also comes in handy if you need to lay on the floor for a shot.
