Hi all.
I have taken some dog photos before and enjoy doing them, all taken at home using a softbox plus reflector for lighting. I have been wanting to try some outdoor photos using flash.
Bit of a problem. I don't have a dog of my own.
Anyways on Sunday I decided to stop thinking about it and doing nothing about it, which I do on a regular basis.
That said in the end it was all spur of the moment and late in the day "fading light"
So I headed out into some park area nearby. I took my ad200 with speedlight head attached plus a light stand.
I found this stump and set the flash up took some photos to see if it was a half descent frame.
After a few minutes the Staffie and owner passed by.
Soon after the Pug.
Both owners were happy for me to try and take there dogs photo.
The images and light are nothing like what I would take at home therefore I have no idea how they would be perceived or whether they are terrible.
I know the light needs improvement. I'm not sure if the speedlight is the way to go or maybe a different modifier would be better.
I went with this light as it's easier to carry plus it looks less like a professional of which I am not.
Would be good to get feedback and advice on how to move forwards with the approach.
Thanks
