My dog, COLA.

This picture was taken as a present for my mother. I took pictures of all of our dogs and had them printed for her for Christmas. I don't have a studio so I improvised on my living rooms coffee table. I took my dogs favorite blanket and laid it over the top and had her clime on. Getting her to settle down to take this picture did take some patients as her first instinct was to charge me not to pose.

 

The blue color in the background was simply a blue gel on a strobe shot up on the white wall. If you look closely you can see the color falling off from left to right.

 

To start the new year off I shot my buddies Honda at one of my favorite locations. Could not have asked for more cooperative weather. This area is notoriously windy which makes shooting with umbrellas a real pain. This day we lucked out and had no wind at all.
