A whole four months since I posted a photo of one of my boys!? Wow, I have been slacking!

Our cat had a benign lump removed from her leg...so now she gets to walk around the house with an e-collar. She still doesn't understand what she did to warrent such an indignation.

I just picked up a Canon 600EX-RT, as they are having a massive sale in Canada ($150 off!). My furry test subjects can be seen below.
All the images are from the 1Ds2, on camera, bounced. All the light is from a single flash, with no ambient contribution. Shooting without the flash results in a black frame.
Also, as I thought I'd read somewhere that the 600EX-RT can only be radio triggered, so I'd like to point out you can choose radio or optical trigger. My 7D was able to fire it off-camera just fine with it's built-in popup flash. The exposures on the 7D seemed darker than when used on the 1Ds2. I haven't dug into that mystery yet.

A friend wanted "professional" pictures of her dogs, but I said I'd do it for free (practice). The main goal was running towards the camera, but I also managed to capture a "moment" (almost on purpose).

Looks pretty good. I'd try to boost the brightness of the shadow range a bit, to help define the eye in the black fur.
Also I find a lot of dogs eyes come out very, very dark, and it doesn't look good. You should be able to do a masked brightness change to the eyes in just about everything (Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, GIMP, Lightroom, but not DPP). In Elements I do this as an adjustment layer. First I crank it up really bright so I can see where I'm painting the mask, then I can just drag the slider around until I feel it looks good.
But, yeah, overall, good job!
I normally don't process pictures more than white balance/exposure. I saw the catch lights from the sun/sky in his eyes and said, "good enough."Quote:

To see everything in his eyes, I had to move the brightness slider all the way to max, but he started looking more like a zombie-dog.
Here's the result using the adjustment layer on his eyes for brightness -- set to 135/150.

Most of my processing is just with DPP, so I wondered how it would look in HDR. Fur looks overly processed, but it brought out the eyes just enough. Well, maybe the fur distracts from the eyes more than the eyes themselves. This is HDR, Art Standard, Saturation down to 40 from 50.

Thanks for the suggestion. Good tip.
Nice. I prefer the adjustment layer over the HDR. Actually being able to see the shape/shading on the eyeball is a huge improvement over the original. Glad to have been helpful.

Hot dog in the city by Poik242, on Flickr
Great idea, and well done Eric. Nice mix of portrait and cityscape.
Did you take some with a tighter framing as well?
Thanks! Didn't take any tighter than that. Most of the shots I took were 20-30" exposures of the city to try out my tripod. I just decided to try a few shots with him in there and play around with some light painting with my flashlight. It was hard enough to get him to look at the camera and stay still while I shined a light in his eyes :). It was an LED flashlight so you can tell that the foreground is quite a bit cooler.

It's Winter again- just didn't get the time to take pictures when it was warm.. I'll try not to be to repetitive, but essentially for next 6 months it'll be dogs in the snow.

The first shots of what is now officially our new Border Collie puppy. Not the best quality, but hey, it's a puppy! Currently called "Seth" by the breeder, we haven't yet decided if we're keeping the name.

Now for some shots while the sun was up... it's tricky to shoot a black dog after sunset! I have decided that the 10-18mm is actually an awesome puppy lens, assuming you have enough light ... I got the cheap-o ultra-wide expecting it to be a hard to use, niche lens. That was my experience with the 16-35mm on full-frame with a hyperactive Aussie. But, the lighter lens, on a lighter body, with a subject that likes to stick close by, and isn't yet afraid of things being stuck in it's face... it's a winning combo. (first is 1Ds2, 85mm, remainder are 7D, 10-18mm)

I didn't realize that no one else had posted about pets since last fall. I never explained the above post. Roxy passed in October of last year. She was 16 years old, which is doing well for a pug. Last October, the above post was my small quiet acknowledgement of that fact.
In May, we got a new pug puppy....meet Etta James:

:( Sorry to hear about Roxy, but it sounds like she lived a long life.
Congrats on welcoming Etta James into your lives. Keep your eye on Etta though... puppies like to chew things. Our previous wireless router can attest to that (thanks Bran! ;) )
Sorry about Roxy, Etta looks great those are excellent photos.
