Playing with my camera

I have invested in a backdrop and some cheap studio lights, this is my 1st attempt using a black background, although there is plenty of room for improvement I'm pretty pleased with these.

Of course, at this time of year the poodles don't stay clean for long, these are a few from todays rather soggy walk.

The cats proved a much greater challenge to photograph with a backdrop than the dogs did, I managed to get just a couple of shots, the video at the end of the post shows why :)
