Ruffus...

By Greyheron
Tried my hand at a bit of studio photography yesterday - many thanks to Terry for the loan of his STE2, stands and light boxes. As ever with photography...sooooo much to learn Smile

Ruffus was a perfect subject - what a star, he sat and played his part to perfection while I fumbled the settings etc...!!!

As always, any comments/suggestions gratefully received...

Mike

Looks great to me Mike, I may have been inclined to give a bit more space on the left for the subject to look into, other than that spot on.

Superb canine portrait, Mike. You have really captured that bright, intelligent expression so typical of Ruffus. Perfect lighting and lovely fur textures and colours. The eye detail is particularly stunning. Love the tight framing for this one. Congrats on a well deserved GEA Smile
