Not to sure on these, i seem to struggle with getting dramatic lighting when shooting film.

Please let me know your thoughts

As dog portraits go, I think that's a very nice one there

Yeah, that is a seriously heroic look for a little dog.

Don't know why but the light for the skateboard ones is "off", maybe just too much. I'm not sure.

Love the dog one but im afraid i agree on the skateboard ones the strong shadows are distracting for me

I think perhaps the shadows aren't quite strong enough for the dramatic look you're after.

Perhaps there's to much ambient filling the shadows? I think with film you have to go further than you do with digital because of its extra latitude in order to get the same effect.

The dogs a winner. Great pose.

It seems like all the action interest is concentrated in a tiny portion of the frame, the rest is un-dramatic environmental.
The stop action is great, but its so so tiny in a big ole 6x6.
Get closer, fill the frame...

Love the dogs chin whiskers

I love the first skate photo, but i feel the second would be better if you had the flash behind creating a shadow on the stairs and then a fill so he doesn't become a shadow but really nice images!!
