I planned and practiced for the shoot of these adorable pets. Two were Maltise, and one Pekinese. The Maltise realizing they were white and Maltise very light yellow. I didn't expect they would stay in place for very long, so I decided to use 1 umbrella on a stand. The purpose of the shoot was to gather many poses of Gin-Gin, Jett & Angel for composites the owner (an artist) would later paint; it was not necessarily to get pictures of the trio together.
D200 on manual ~f5.0 @ 1/250 (to kill ambient) ISO 250, flash on manual with “Hobby meter” & Minolta. They calibrated! I was pleased with the pictures. I could even adjust when we went outdoors with the dogs & their owners.
The next time I need to include more shadow (like 3:1 or 4:1) lighting ratio. This means I should take multiple types of pictures. Don’t rest on short successes; go after upping to the next notch. Some sure (umbrella) and other different (grid or snoot or diffuser-covered).
