Post Your Pets!

[Dr Croubie]

What's that rule about not working with children or pets?
Set up the whole thing properly beforehand, with the camera on the tripod with the cable-release, manual focussed. With the speedlite on the side pointing at the exact-right spot on the ceiling, with the right ratio of onboard:speedlite. With the aperture perfect to get the right DOF on the subject and blurry-enough background. Even with a bit of food hidden to keep her occupied and interested while I snapped away.

...

and then the stupid thing just wouldn't hold still in the pose I wanted.


edit: and that really does look a lot fuzzier than on my comp, even the shrunk version. Guess i'm going to have to figure out how to get a flickr...
