It was my concrete patio in my backyard. Shading changed very slightly in post to try and even it out more.

Denise, I really like this shot. Your pp and the black and white make it a winner for me. Great capture!

Thank you very much, Jayson! I have just started practicing various b&w applications and your thumbs up on this one really means a lot to me!

Not my pet, but it escaped from one of our neighbours (or they released it on purpose) a few years ago, and it's taken up residence in the drain between our block and the neighbours.


I think it's a Bluetongue Lizard, not a sleepy lizard, i'll try get a shot of him opening his mouth one day...

Stupid Cat. These are my first successful (non-plushy) portraits when I was starting out with off-camera flash. The key light is bounced off a white wall to the right, but the hair light is triggered wirelessly.

Beautiful cat pictures! I have a hard time balancing everything when I shoot my black dog but you sure did everything perfect here!


I have been trying to shoot as much as I can this weekend! This shot was taken with one of the lenses that I thought I would put first on my list to sell but after taken this shot which is now one of my favorites ...how can I let this lens go!

Thanks. It is tough to get the exposure right with him. Luckily, he didn't move too much. (He turned around after too many flashes.) I figured the separation flash would definehis outline -- power is too high. And, I got lucky with the key flash (tweaked with DPP) for just enough fur detail while the rest is blurred.


I usually have to overexpose the background to get good dur detail, like this one.

The kitties are adorable! And they are so much less work than dogs!


This is my "velcro dog" Lucky Charm ...
