Hi Braveboy, yeah the sun was high in the sky and it was an awful time to be shooting anything so I'm actually amazed that anything came out reasonable at all... :D

I love both shots... But the lighting in shot #1 is wonderful, the whole contrast range through the shot sets a deep, dark mood but at the same time picking out the skin flaws and generating depth. I love it!

I love the composition and the crisp images... Very well done....

Thanks treehugger, what I didn't say was it was hand held but shot 3000 images, lol :lol:

I still have the lamp and those bits are still as dusty today. I didn't want to Photoshop the dust, I wanted a pure image which for the most part is what it is (just a crop and some vibrance I think).

I think you're right Tom, when I started (so many years ago) we always referred to Depth of Field and I don't remember using the word Bokeh at all. It seems now seem to be a cover-all word for almost anything Depth of Field related... I still call a lens a lens and not "glass", in my opinion...

Hi Bullysrus, We have a Lastolite Hilite background with 2 studio heads inside and two more studio heads to illuminate the dogs. The dogs sit (some of the time) on a table with a white canvas on it. In all cases there are pretty much as shot but we do remove some harsh shadows when they happen.

I did clip the ear when the shot was taken, based on the comments above, here are my re-crops.... Bright Eyes (Re-Crop) by TPJohn, on Flickr Bright Eyes (Re-Crop 2) by TPJohn, on Flickr
