Playing with some new photo gear - NEW 'tutorials'

[Moesha]

I learned a lot from your lesson and really liked the photo demonstrations!! Any thing that you are willing or able to teach us is very much appreciated. But please don't spend too much of your valuable time thinking about our Pet Talk Photography Lessons. Thank you so much!!

No problem, I enjoy doing it most of the time. It's just normally on Tuesday's I have alot more time available than I ended up with today because of other things.

I would have liked to do the silver reflector thing today but without stronger lighting it's not going to show what it does, and personally I learn quicker through pix. Hopefully Thursday our weather will clear and get a bit more sunlight.

I'm glad people seem to enjoy my shots and tips.

I meant to also say that your subject is beautiful! Just sitting there while you changed your reflectors around and still ready for the closeups...must be a professional model in fur clothing.
I'm not a huge fan of flash myself. I have taken some pictures of Morgan in his new beds. He closes his eyes with the flash. I have turned the flash off and left it to the ISO to get a picture. But they turn out very yellow. I noticed you mentioned something about that in your post and referenced white balance. I've heard of that several times but haven't grasped the full concept. Perhaps you could have a brief tutorial of that subject sometime when you get the chance.

Pooky says 'thank you'.

Yup, photography seems easier when you have a beautiful model. hmmm wonder how he'd look draped across the hood of a sports car? ROFL

Sure I can do a tutorial, with pix of course, on color casts (aka. white balance). That one is fairly easy to show in pix what's happening. I'll see what works out for when I can do that one.

You sure do take wonderful pictures. Thanks for the lesson. I learned a lot. I also have a Canon Powershot S3IS camera so I'm going to try this in the future.

I normally take most of my pictures inside because most of them are of my cats which are indoor only. I try not to use the flash but sometimes I have to. I do have a program on my computer that fixes redeye but it doesn't fix the weird alien eye that I sometimes get from non blue eyed cats. Thanks again and I look forward to more lessons in the future.
