That would probably work Ruth.  What a great idea!   :apls:

Miss Hallie (and mom of course) never stops amazing me!  Those are just gorgeous!!!!!!!!

LOL too bad I wasn't into all this photo stuff at the bow wow's we had here, that would have been a blast taking shots of all the bow wow doxies!

Great idea Ruth. I am going to experiment with that and with some draping just so I learn something and understaned more how it works. For future shots I am just going to get frosted balls..I have been looking around at stock images, etc and everyone is using some kind of non super shiny ball so that seems to be the thing to do. But I do want to experiement with lighting and things to see how to cut down glare like this.

I would think if you draped the light area right in front of you and yourself somewhat, that would help. It would also keep the light from bouncing around so much, but then again, it may throw the metering off a little. I love all of them, but I think the bark one is my favorite.

[Dee Dee and Hallie]

You're right Teresa I think that would help. I wouldn't be able to hide those two ugly umbrellas highlights from the strobes but it would help the background!

Sorry for taking so long for throwing in my two cents, but my favorite is the playbow.  I adore that one!  I have been a little swamped - math assessments, Christmas program - wish us luck - the big performance is Tuesday the 18th for Moms and Dads...

DeeDee - what about a peephole through a box, with draping, so you can't be seen?  Will Hallie still pose for treats if you are not immediately visible?

[Dee Dee and Hallie]

Oh yes, it would be a very busy time at school! Not having childs of the hooman variety I forget that. Good luck with the performance I remember how exciting that was when I was a kid.

Yes that's a good idea Julia I think something like that would have been the solution!! I may try that one day..for this it would be way too much work and bother LOL I think I'll just buy frosted balls but indeed Hallie would pose for treats even if I were on the rooftop (wooftop!)  :thumb:

Did Ansel Adams say, " Heck, it's too cold in Yosemite - I guess I'll photograph the Florida Keys." :pic:

Did Pablo  Picasso say, "Cubes aren't my thing.  What about circles?" :paint:

Did Michaelangelo say, "Oy, vey, I have such a headcold.  Just spray the ceiling off white and be done with it!"

C'mon, girlfriend - no guts, no glory!!

LOL Dr. George Lucas Leaky   

But none of them guys was juggling multiple careers and I may be wrong about this but I do believe they also had 39.582 hours in the day while we have a mere 4.89273...
